The C List is the newly launched passion project of makeup artist Lisa Potter-Dixon and cancer survivor Helen Addis and it serves as a destination for "cancer-kinder" beauty products. Products for the skin, hair, nails and body can be found on the site and they have been carefully curated as recommendations for cancer patients who are going through treatment. Diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer in 2013, Addis was told to use only very mild, less fragranced products during and after treatment—which required her to rethink all the contents of her bathroom cabinet.
As chemotherapy is known to cause skin troubles of its own, The C List offers a variety of solutions for dryness, changes in pigmentation and more. Additionally, it's easy to filter through options that are specifically vegan or gluten-free.
