And for every one of you, there are 20 of me who go out of our way to support Goya. I buy their products even though they are more expensive than store brands. You do know that Goya is a leader in supporting efforts to stop child trafficking across the globe, don't you? But this is one of those issues that Democrats conveniently overlook, because so many kids were affected during the Biden years.

As a gen-x women of color, I will never “boycott” MAC. They were one of the first to bring truly saturated color designed for brown girls (and boys). They have highlighted many social issues through the years.

I sympathize but Lauder owns them now. Not the same company.

I'm sure Goya is heartbroken

My Hispanic DH has boycotted Goya forever. Goya may not care but we do, especially given what’s happen this term.

What I want is for white women to go and show up and vote.
Overwhelming voted for Trump.

I stopped Diet Coke in college in the 90s, now it’s for health reasons.

Here’s an article from the Guardian discussing the Greenland/Lauder connection.

Really there aren't any products for me to boycott.

Lauder has been coasting for a while now

I've found other brands to be better, no loss for me

Thanks OP. I had no idea there was a connection between the acquisition of Greenland and Estée Lauder. If what you said is true (and it likely is but I do my own research) I will stop supporting any of these brands.

You're right about boycotts sticking. My DH started boycotting Exxon in 1989 after the massive oil spill, and he still has it in his mind that it's the last place he'd ever buy gas.

Exxon is still around and doing fine.

These boycotts are incredibly powerful. Why do you think they keep trying to slap tariffs on Korea, another us ally? K beauty..bottom line, although I’m a classic old broad at heart, I’ve stopped using lauder products for a long while.
