Occupational therapist and accessibility expert Dr. Esther Bae is being praised for her work with singer Selena Gomez’s beauty product team to ensure accessible packaging for people with disabilities. Bae helped ensure the containers of a new self-care product line were designed to be opened, handled, and used with as much ease as possible. Gomez has shared her journey with dexterity challenges due to her Lupus diagnosis. https://bit.ly/48dgcVy
Congratulations! My good friend and colleague, Dr. Jean Pacifico-Banta, OTR/L, did the same with the makeup brand Petite n' Pretty in Los Angeles a few years ago before they launched! https://www.petitenpretty.com/blogs/redefining-pretty/from-our-founder-shouldnt-teen-makeup-be-safe https://www.petitenpretty.com/blogs/mom-2-mom/behind-the-brush-why-our-makeup-is-pediatrician-approved
Many thanks to AOTA and community for the support! Our focus in this project was on developing techniques that enhance this self-comfort promoting collection. Grateful to Joyce Kim and the Rare Beauty team for recognizing the value that the occupational therapy perspective brings to promoting greater accessibility and inclusivity in the beauty space.

7moI had the pleasure of partnering with the team to design the hand cream package and it’s also very sustainable with 74% post consumer recycled plastic material. Not only does it give more accessibility but it also helps reduce the amount of waste in the cosmetics industry.
