and young girls supported by the charity to take part

in workshops and mentoring programs. Since 2015,

Bold Is Beautiful has enabled Benefit Cosmetics to

SEPHORA ACCELERATE SUPPORTS FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS

The fourth edition of Sephora Accelerate supported

female entrepreneurs in successfully launching their

business in the beauty industry. Since 2016, the

program, which supports new businesses and start-

ups founded by women, has underpinned Sephora s

commitment to improving opportunities for women.

As every year, the finalists received mentoring from leading experts at Sephora and a week of coaching in

San Francisco. Sephora Accelerate was developed to

tackle two major issues firstly, female entrepreneurs don t enjoy the same access to funding, networks and

experience as their male counterparts; and secondly,

although the majority of consumers in the cosmetics

sector are women, very few companies in the industry

are actually run by women. Sephora Accelerate is one

of the three programs under Sephora Stands, through

which the Maison consolidates its efforts to boost

entrepreneurship, improve communities and benefit its employees.
