SOCIAL IMPACT
CHARITABLE AND SUSTAINABLE BEAUTY
Giving back has always been integral to our business practice and is a crucial aspect of BLACK&WHITE's philosophy.
We truly believe that giving back is good for the soul.
NZ ATHLETES
Support is one of BLACK&WHITE's core philosophies. We believe in lifting people up in a world where many try to bring others down. BLACK&WHITE is proud to be a main sponsor of Olympic Free Skier Anja Barugh, and we feel privileged and humbled to support our daughter both financially and with products throughout her ski career.
We are equally honored to contribute products to another of New Zealand's elite sportswomen, Olympic Cyclist Ellesse Andrews.

HELPING MAKE A DIFFERENCE
We are proud to share that BLACK&WHITE, together with our Pukehina Retreat and Lodge, consistently donates products, retreat weekends, and gift baskets to many Pink Breakfasts and Lunches across New Zealand. In 2024, we hosted a Pink Ribbon Lunch at the retreat, raising $20,725, which was donated to Pink Ribbon and Cancer Research, helping save the lives of many New Zealand women.
Additionally, we have created a body collection called 'Courage,' where $2 from every purchase is donated to both Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer causes
