Hero Cosmetics Named in Fast Company's "Brands That Matter"

Fast Company's recognition program honors companies providing people compelling reasons to care about them and offering inspiration for others to buy in.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Fast Company announced today its annual Brands That Matter list, honoring brands that communicate and demonstrate brand purpose - Hero Cosmetics earned a place on the list in the Established Excellence category. The companies and nonprofits named have achieved relevance through cultural impact and social engagement, and authentically communicating their missions and ideals.

The final list, which includes large multinational conglomerates, small-but-mighty companies, and nonprofits, recognizes 145 brands that give people compelling reasons to care about them—and offer inspiration for others to buy in. All 145 have found an ability to forge an emotional connection with customers, whether leading on the environment or pop culture, engaging B2B customers, or responding meaningfully to current events.

"This year, we've expanded the Brands That Matter program to evaluate honorees in the context of how they matter within the category in which they compete for people's attention or loyalty. The result is a wide-ranging list of honorees that are making their mark on culture, and through social impact," said Brendan Vaughan, Fast Company's editor-in-chief.

"Hero exists to help people reclaim skin confidence with our gentle and effective acne solutions. We have worked hard to earn the trust of our consumers engaging with them on an emotional level and communicating with empathy. Our products are quite literally life-changing and it is so rewarding to see how we impact our consumers' lives in a positive way. It is an honor to have our work be recognized by Fast Company in its Brands That Matter list. It validates our good work and motivates us to keep going." - Ju Rhyu, Co-founder and CEO of Hero Cosmetics
