Kate’s wish to support others and to raise awareness of cancer, particularly in young people, will continue to live on within her company. Below are some of Kate McIver Skin’s relationships and charitable contributions.
Kate was a huge supporter of breast cancer awareness charity, CoppaFeelPeople, with their aligned vision of raising awareness of breast cancer amongst young people. After Kate’s second diagnosis and the launch of the Original Secret Weapon, whilst continuing to support individuals going through their own treatment, Kate wanted to financially support CoppaFeel on a longer-term basis by generously donating 10% of all sales of her 30ml Secret Weapon Original Serum to this great cause. To date, £11,800.78 has been donated.
Kate McIver Skin continue to have close relationship with CoppaFeelPeople and has very recently been a supporter of their Festifeel event by donating the Secret Weapon Original Serum for their VIP’s and volunteers gift bags.
We have recently changed our pledge and increased the product lines whereby we donated a fixed amount to CoppaFeelPeople. £1 from every 30ml, £0.50 from every Original bottle sold.
Also, we introduce in December an additional charity giving product - 7 Cleansing Cloths and a Muslin bag with a £1 donation from every box sold to the charity, with the message of checking your breasts as often as washing your face.
Cancer Research UK
In the build up to Christmas 2018, celebrating the launch of Secret Weapon Limited Edition, Kate McIver Skin pledged to donate £5 of every bottle of 30ml Secret Weapon Limited Edition sold to Cancer Research UK, raising £4,895 for this vital cause.
In a very emotional and heartfelt day, in memory of Kate’s life, members of the Kate McIver Skin team, friends and family took part in Liverpool’s 10k Race for Life. The day’s runners started at the sound of the bell, proudly rung by Kate’s parents and daughter, Lucia. An incredible £2,200 was raised on the day by the Kate McIver Skin team, friends and family and donations from the sales of Kate McIver products sold on the day.

With October being Breast Cancer Awareness month, the Kate McIver Skin team wanted to do something extraordinary. Up and down the country people gave their time to a Cancer Warriors with one aim to put a smile on their faces. Facialists, nail technicians, reiki healers, hairdressers so many businesses came together to remember Kate and reach out to their local communities offering some me time to those that have or are still going through Cancer treatment.
