Black Lives Matter

To our community: We stand in solidarity with you in the fight against systemic racism. We stand for inclusion, taking action and using our words to speak up about injustice.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
George Floyd matters. Black lives matter. We stand with you, and we fight for you.


Tropic is a community for everyone. While we’re united by our love for skincare and beauty, we’re also united by our love for each other, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or age.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We believe in helping to create a more empowered world and we will focus now, more than ever, on ways to support positive change and educate ourselves. Because we can all do better, together.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We recognise we have a platform and a voice to influence people and strive for change, and we have a responsibility to use it. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether it’s taking the time to educate ourselves on the experiences of others, having an uncomfortable conversation with friends and family members or standing up for equality in the everyday.




We know we aren’t perfect and there is more that we can be doing, but we’re listening, more so than ever.

We want to do what we can to help drive change by sharing some of the resources and organisations that we are using to educate ourselves.

Here are some immediately actionable steps we're taking and resources we're using as a team and individuals to educate ourselves, and better the experience of those in our community...
