your Beauty Our duty

What happens when a shoe-crazy, lipstick-obsessed, wine-swilling, pasta-slurping, fashion-fanatic, single-forever, about-to-get-married big city girl cartoonist with a fabulous life finds... a lump in her breast?



That's the question that sets Cancer Vixen in motion.

Marisa Acocella Marchetto, renowned cartoonist for The New Yorker and Glamour magazine, takes us along on her journey, from diagnosis to cure, and every challenging step in between. Her wit and courage are an inspiration - she's a cancer vixen, not its victim.



Her dream is that one day we will all be cancer free, and she will not have to write a sequel to Cancer Vixen any time soon. Bath and Body Works will be selling the book that started inspired the beauty collection. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to provide breast care for underprivileged women and to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

C.O. Bigelow teamed up with cartoonist, author and breast cancer survivor Marisa Acocella Marchetto to create special edition C.O. Bigelow classics with her fashionista activista illustrations. C.O. Bigelow will help give cancer the boot with a $250,000 donation to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation® with the purchase of any of the products shown below.
