The Lip Bar

• The Lip Bar is one of THEE best vegan makeup brands out there. So, when founder and CEO Melissa Butler and her team debuted a skincare line last year? We were all shook. Offerings are loaded with superfood ingredients (oh hey, Reishi mushrooms and blueberry extracts!) to help you get rid of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

Fenty Skin

• Our fave Rihanna is no stranger to sparking change in the beauty industry, but her Fenty Skin launch back in 2020 was just as personal. Her skincare line is inspired by her own skin insecurities, like hyperpigmentation and sensitivity. And thanks to her brand's science-backed and super nourishing ingredients, you can feel even better about the beautiful skin you're in.

BUTTAFLY KISS

• Buttafly Kiss was created by Valencia Skinner who had a vision to create affordable products for women and men who have sensitive skin.

Sugardoh

• Sometimes taking care of sensitive skin can, well, be a hairy situation. That's exactly why Sugardoh founder Aliyah Marandiz created a sugar wax line. Instead of harsh traditional waxing methods, you can use the compostable sugaring paste to remove hair for up to weeks at a time. Talk about a win-win!

Ooh La La Skincare

• We believe that healthy whole skin care is not just a woman's right but a human right.  To that end, we only want the best for your skin care maintenance! 

Undefined Beauty

Epara Skincare

• Black-owned Epara skincare offers an incredibly opulent range of products with chic-as-hell packaging that’ll look sooo pretty on your bathroom counter. Both their face and body products are powered by African botanical ingredients to create a high-performance experience that’s well worth the slightly higher price tag.

Rosen Skincare

• If you struggle with stubborn, acne-prone skin, listen up: Rosen’s products just might be your solution to persistent blackheads, whiteheads, cystic breakouts, and body acne. Their products are formulated with people of color in mind, so you don’t have to worry about the ingredients having an overly irritating or bleaching effect.

Sweet July Skin

• Ayesha Curry (aka: Chef Curry with the pot) has expanded her personal empire with the debut of Sweet July Skin. The Caribbean superfood-infused collection is an homage to Ayesha's Jamaican roots and love of recipe-making, and each product is designed to balance all skin types. Papaya? Guava?! Our skin is ready to eat a full plate.

Plant Apothecary

• As you may have guessed from their name, clean beauty brand Plant Apothecary relies on the power of plant peptides and botanical extracts to create gentle, effective products that form the base of any good skincare routine. Think night creams, mild cleansers, and moisturizing soaps.

4.5.6 Skin

• 4.5.6 Skin is committed to creating products especially for melanin-rich skin. In 2019, they developed their Skin Tone Research Lab to address the unique needs of darker skin (specifically Skin Photo-types IV, V, and VI), whether it be safely treating hyperpigmentation, regulating sebum production, or strengthening the skin barrier.

Luv Scrub

• Inspired by a West African beauty ritual, the Luv Scrub is a body exfoliator that’ll produce a surprising amount of lather while using way less soap than you’re used to squeezing out per shower. Best of all, your Luv Scrub can last up to 18 months (!!) compared to the average loofah, which typically needs to be replaced after 2 months.

Karité

• Founded by three sisters from Ghana, Karité's line of lip, hand, and and body products is all about shea butter. The ingredient is loved for its ability to deeply moisture and nourish thanks to a high concentration of vitamin A, E, F, and fatty acids.

The hero product—a super potent (and v affordable) vitamin C serum that's infused with kojic acid and turmeric—is clutch for brightening skin, evening out your tone, and smoothing rough texture.

Beneath Your Mask

• Founder Dana Jackson started Beneath Your Mask with her first product Heal: Whipped Skin Soufflé in 2012. The goal?
