Kylie Jenner To Start Producing Custom Hand Sanitizer


Kylie Jenner has partnered with Coty Inc, a major stakeholder in her skincare and cosmetic lines, to manufacture custom hand sanitizer for southern California hospitals.

Kylie Jenner has set out to combat some of the shortages of supplies amid the coronavirus pandemic, by teaming up with beauty company, Coty Inc., to donate custom-made hand sanitizer to hospitals in southern California. On Tuesday, the beauty and skincare mogul and her momager, Kris Jenner, announced the partnership with Coty, who is a major stakeholder in both Kylie Cosmetics and Kylie Skin. The hand sanitizer will be produced in Coty’s factories, and will be “dedicated to first responders working to support our communities.” The product will be provided to “medical and emergency services staff,” as well as both the employees making the sanitizer and those responsible for delivering it to people in need.

Since Coty will be producing the hydro-alcoholic gel in its own facilities, Kylie Skin will reportedly not be affected by this venture. However, distribution has already been haulted on Kylie Cosmetics products, along with Kim Kardashian‘s KKW Beauty line, after California issued a statewide shelter-in-place order last month.

Along with helping to relieve the shortage of hand sanitizer as a result of the pandemic, Kylie has also donated $1 million toward providing protective masks for a Los Angeles hospital. Prior to this donation, Kylie urged her followers to practice social distancing and stay home, after she was called upon by the surgeon general of the United States to use her platform to make a statement.

Future and his family’s FreeWishes Foundation are providing masks for healthcare professionals and patients in hospitals who have been impacted by coronavirus.

Future and his family’s FreeWishes Foundation have teamed up with a local Atlanta sewing collective to create masks for hospital workers and coronavirus patients amid shortages caused by the pandemic. As the world adjusts to the effects of the coronavirus outbreak, many hospitals are experiencing unparalleled shortages of medical equipment and supplies, including surgical masks that prevent infected patients from potentially spreading the virus to others. In order to give back and ensure that Atlanta hospitals have the necessary supplies they need, Future has partnered with Atlanta Sewing Style through his FreeWishes Foundation for the #MaskOn campaign.

“There is so much that needs to be done during this crisis and if everyone can step up in some way, we can all get through this together as we serve our community,” Future’s mother, Stephanie Jester, said in a press release. “I think that our healthcare professionals are the heroes in this situation and they are risking their lives for everyone, so it is our responsibility to help protect them.” Future’s sister and co-founder of their family’s foundation, Tia-Wilburn Anderson, also addressed the pandemic. “It is important to my brother, Future and I that we are of service to our community, especially during this pandemic and throughout the year,” she stressed. “This is why our family created the foundation.” Big ups to Future and his family for their generosity during these stressful times.
