Bedrock Gives Back 2021: Spreading Skincare & Smiles Nationwide

When the pandemic hit, we asked our Bedrock community: Who could use a little skincare love?

There was no way we could choose just one nomination. So we sent boxes of Bedrock Balm—our zinc redness cream—to hometown heroes across the country.

From healthcare workers pulling 12-hour shifts to teachers and staff navigating masks all day, Bedrock Balm became more than skincare—it became a small way to say thank you.

 

🌎 Bedrock Donations Across the U.S.

  • Fresh Salon & Spa (Washington) – Nominated by Misty, who said her stylist and coworkers were struggling with acne and irritation from wearing masks all day.

  • Mary Bragg Elementary (California) – Lichelle shared how teachers worked tirelessly to support kids through virtual and in-person learning.

  • Meadowdale School (Washington) – Beka told us about staff with red indents from N95s and sore nose bridges at the end of long school days.
