Ahem, You're Gonna Want to Shop These 45 Black-Owned Skincare Brands
The Black beauty community should be honored and celebrated every single day, and we’ll hear no arguments on that. One easy—and incredibly valuable—way to show your support? Buying from Black-owned skincare brands, like the 45 below. These companies are all founded and operated by Black executives, cosmetic chemists, and entrepreneurs, and they’ve created some truly excellent skincare products. I'm talking high-performing face serums, decadent night creams, all-natural body lotions, and more.
And JSYK, Black-owned skincare brands aren't just for melanin-rich skin. Sure, some of these brands specifically sell sunscreens that won’t leave a ghostly white cast or serums to target post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that tends to be more common on deeper skin tones, but these formulations can be enjoyed by everyone—whether you're light-skinned with stubborn cystic acne or have deep skin and are dealing with scarring.
So to help you stock your vanity, we've rounded up 45 of some of the most popular Black-owned skincare brands right now. By no means is this an exhaustive list (check out our overall Black-owned beauty brand guide, including some Black-owned businesses on Amazon you can shop with speedy Prime delivery), but it's a really good place to start.
