Carol's Daughter has announced a partnership with the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA), the nation's leading non-profit voluntary health organization dedicated to finding the causes and cure for lupus. With an estimated 1,500,000 lupus sufferers in the United States, Carol's Daughter and the LFA are committed to improving the diagnosis and treatment of lupus and helping individuals and families affected by the disease. With a mission to increase public awareness, Carol's Daughter and Sephora will host a series of educational/promotional events nationwide.

Lupus has affected founder Lisa Price's mother, Carol, and Karen Evans, brand spokes-beauty, investor, and Jada Pinkett Smith's aunt. Price states, "We are thrilled to be working with the LFA to raise awareness and educate the public on this systematic autoimmune disease, with the hopes that a cure is in the near future."

Typically seen in women, ages 15-44, lupus is most common among African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans and Native Americans. For unknown reasons, lupus causes the immune system to attack the body's own tissue, resulting in inflammation and tissue damage to virtually any organ system in the body.

Carol's Daughter has committed to donate a portion of its sales proceeds from each purchase of Candy Paint, the brand's first color category introduction, to the LFA. This high-shine lip gloss -- available in twelve sumptuous shades with names like Park Avenue Bling and Purple Reign -- contains Shea Butter and Aloe Vera to protect and heal, while the Grape Seed Oil, rich in antioxidants and vitamins, soothes and regenerates the lips. Formulated with a hint of peppermint flavor and loaded with all natural ingredients, Candy Paint is "where color meets therapy."
