Our Pledge to Transparency

We made a promise

A promise to always represent beauty as it truly is — real and unaltered. It's our commitment to you.

We made a mark

Our Beauty Mark appears on photos of models that have not been thinned, smoothed or digitally altered.

We made a change

We're taking part in a movement to change the industry, and we've asked our partner brands to join us.

100% Beauty Image Transparency

All of our beauty imagery is labeled, unaltered or otherwise, for full transparency. See how Beauty Unaltered® helps empower mental well‐being, too.

80% of women in the US don't like how they look. Two‐thirds of women agree the media has set an unrealistic standard of beauty, and the American Medical Association has labeled "unrealistic images" as a serious health issue. What we see matters.

That's why CVS® made a promise to not alter our beauty images — because when an industry changes how it sees women, it can change how women see themselves.
