Rare Beauty Sets Ulta Debut Feb. 1 in 1,500+ Stores and Online

The rollout pairs Ulta’s first guest donation program with Rare Beauty’s mental-health mission.

Overview

  • From Feb. 1 to 28, in-store checkout donations will be split evenly between the Ulta Beauty Charitable Foundation and the Rare Impact Fund in the retailer’s first guest donation partnership.
  • The launch was revealed in a joint Instagram post on Jan. 5 directing shoppers to the Feb. 1 availability.
  • Ulta reports Rare Beauty ranked among the top overall searches on ulta.com and was the top-searched cosmetics brand in 2025, signaling strong pre-launch demand.
  • The Ulta assortment highlights Rare Beauty’s leading categories—blush, bronzer, brow and highlighter—with Soft Pinch Liquid Blush noted as the top collection.
