ELEMIS partners with Maggie's and launches limited edition beauty bag
Thursday 07 May 2026
ELEMIS will donate £20,000 to Maggie's in connection with the launch. The L.A-S beauty bag features ELEMIS products selected by fashion influencer Lorna Luxe.
The ELEMIS x L.A -S includes four products hand-picked by Lorna Luxe that can be used for a four-step daily skincare routine.
The contemporary fashion brand L.A-SPACE, founded by Lorna Luxe, recently supported Maggie's through a Charity Archive Sale, which saw a curated selection of L.A-SPACE pieces sold at discounted prices to raise funds for Maggie's and The Meath Epilepsy Charity, two charities close to Lorna's heart.
The sale took place just a month after Lorna lost her husband, John Andrews, to cancer.
The generous donation from ELEMIS will help us support people like Sara and Gitana as we continue to be there for people facing cancer today, tomorrow and always.
Body positivity and cancer
When Sara was diagnosed with hormone positive stage three ductal sarcoma, she struggled with the physical changes that came with her treatment. She shares how treatment impacted her body image and how meeting others at Maggie51ɫAPPs had a positive impact on her mental wellbeing:
“Because my cancer is hormone positive I was put into a crash menopause and gained weight. I lost my eyelashes, had steroid face, rashes everywhere and hyper pigmentation. I felt really self conscious.
It can be really hard to stay positive about your appearance during treatment. Getting up, going out and self care really helped me. It helps elevate my mood.
“Coming to Maggie51ɫAPPs has also been fantastic. There51ɫAPPs always someone you can talk to about how you’re feeling. Everyone there is going through something similar.”
The importance of self care after a cancer diagnosis
Gitana came to us for support following her lymphoma diagnosis. She shares how chemotherapy impacted her body image and how meeting others with similar experiences at Maggie51ɫAPPs helped to rebuild her confidence and feel less isolated.
“Six rounds of chemotherapy resulted in significant changes to my appearance, including hair loss, and this impacted me mentally.
“Maggie51ɫAPPs played a huge role in rebuilding my self-confidence throughout my treatment. The experts at Maggie's supported me with ways to manage the physical changes caused by treatment.
“Meeting other people who were going through treatment helped me feel less isolated and understood.
Self-care is an essential part of my healing journey.
“I make sure to set aside time every day for self-care since my diagnosis. It helps me to maintain my dignity, my confidence and emotional wellbeing.”
