22 ways to support International Women's Day when you shop online today
ThirdLove
ADAY
Conscious shoppers love ADAY because of its seasonless, technical apparel that looks great, feels great, and is made from sustainable materials.
On International Women's Day, you have another reason to support ADAY: 100% of the proceeds from sales of its limited-edition #Future is Feminine Tank will go to the Stonewall Community Foundation in support of numerous LGBTQ+ projects and funds.
Sugarfina
Before co-founding Sugarfina, Rosie O'Neill started her career at Barbie, the iconic doll brand that is now celebrating its 60th anniversary. To celebrate 60 years of Barbie careers, including astronaut, firefighter, and news anchor, Sugarfina has created a collection of themed candies. 100% of net proceeds from this limited-edition series will go to Step Up.
Mejuri
The fine jewelry brand is revolutionizing the industry by keeping costs low and encouraging women to buy jewelry for themselves instead of waiting for someone else to buy it for them — and they are finding success, with a repeat purchase rate of 25%. Mejuri says that 87% of its community members are women, and if they’re not gifting themselves, they’re overwhelmingly gifting other women.
Birchbox
Today, beauty subscription box company Birchbox is launching its second The Future Starts Now Fund, which gives women throughout the year $5,000 each towards any enrichment program that supports their career goals.
10% of the sales Birchbox makes on International Women’s Day from customers who shop its Female Founded Beauty Brands category, featuring brands like OUAI, Benefit, and Real Chemistry, will go towards the Future Starts Now Fund.
Universal Standard
Plus-size inclusive fashion brand Universal Standard has a unique policy that reduces the anxiety of shopping: its Universal Fit Liberty (UFL) allows shoppers to exchange pieces from its core collection if their size fluctuates within a year of purchase. All gently worn clothing returned through UFL will be laundered and donated to charities like Dress for Success that support women trying to return to the workforce.
Ritual
Ritual is most known for its Essential for Women multivitamin, which fills in the gaps of women's diets and was inspired by founder Katerina Schneider's own experience of shopping for vitamins while she was pregnant. Earlier this year, it dug deeper into its original prenatal health roots with the launch of its second product, a prenatal vitamin. Regardless of where you are in your life, Ritual is here to support your health with cleaner, more efficient vitamins.
Vrai & Oro
Vrai & Oro is where you can find simple, timeless, and beautiful fine jewelry — no vermeil, only 14-karat and 18-karat gold here — at a better price and through a less stressful shopping process than traditional fine jewelry retailers. It also uses above-ground diamonds made from 100% solar energy.
Today, the jewelry company is offering a tapered baguette stud earring set called "Her Earring." 15% of sales proceeds will go to Girls, Inc.
MZ Wallace
MZ Wallace's bags meet the needs of busy, modern women who seek fashion, function, and value.

As part of this initiative, 10% of all full-price purchases on the site today will go to Girls Who Code.
Frilly
Frilly is a women's custom clothing brand that makes individuality its core business. Cofounder Jeni Ni says, "As a woman, I like to be in control of the decisions I make throughout my life. Fashion is a huge part of the way that we present ourselves to the world, and it should be an inherently personal and dialed-in experience."
Frilly's ethically and sustainably produced clothing is completely customizable (every pair of pants you see above comes from the same core style, each with custom touches), and helps women express themselves and feel more confident.
The Better Skin Co.
The co-founder of The Better Skin Co. started the company with this moisturizing and smoothing cream as a way to support her family after emigrating to the US from Uzbekistan.

This month, 1% of your purchases go to Black Girls Code.
The Lip Bar
Research has found that black women spend 80% more on cosmetics and twice as much on skin care as other consumers because it's harder to find effective products for their skin. The Lip Bar's Melissa Butler wanted to make products that are not only better for your body but also aim to empower women with diverse representations of beauty.
Banana Republic
In honor of International Women's Day, Banana Republic has launched a limited-edition Equality Collection of T-shirts and accessories that carry messages of empowerment.

Lively
By making lingerie that's beautiful and comfortable, Lively aims to make women feel confident in their own bodies all year long. Its #livingLIVELY movement provides a community of support among fans, and on International Women's Day, it's selling a T-shirt to further unite them. 100% of the profits from T-shirt sales will be donated to I Support The Girls.
Brandless
By getting rid of brand markups, Brandless is able to offer high-quality essentials, like pads and tampons, at prices accessible to everyone.
