September 15th marks the beginning of Latinx Heritage Month and while we encourage you to celebrate Latinx brands and creators all year round, now is a great time to introduce you to some of the best Latinx-owned businesses that are all around you. In fact, many popularized styles and trends have been heavily influenced by Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. So if you're in the market for an off-the-shoulder silhouette, tropical prints or a bold red lip, you've come to the right place. Here's an extensive list of 44 Latinx-owned fashion and beauty brands to shop now. Plus, a few of our favorite picks from each to get you started.
7 New (and New-Ish) Books by Latinx Authors to Read for Latinx Heritage Month
Clothing
1. Hija De Tu Madre
Blending American fashion with Latinx representations of identity, Hija de tu Madre’s founder, Patty Delgado, set out to create a fashion label that celebrates dual identities. As she told Teen Vogue, “I aimed to build the brand that I would have loved seeing when I was growing up. In this political climate, it's our job to take up more space than ever, and support POC businesses who are paving a way for themselves in a predominately white business world.” In addition to cute graphic tees, the brand has tons of empowering desk accessories and jewelry, featuring sayings like "Si Se Puede" (yes you can) and "Make Jefa Moves" (make boss moves).

While "La Gota" means "drops of water" in Spanish, La Gotta Swimwear put a fun twist on the traditional spelling, which reflects the vibrant designs of their swimwear brand.

The brand has since branched into the skincare and haircare as well.

14. Flor De María
Flor de María Rivera spent 12 years in sports broadcasting (reporting, producing and writing) before making a switch to the fashion world. The Peruvian creator ran a bilingual fashion blog where she spoke about her love for shoes. Despite the the fact that she owned more than 500 pairs, she was still on the lookout for a shoe that catered to her needs. So, she decided to create her own line, Flor de Maria Collection, that combined style and comfort. Since launching, the shoes have been worn by celebs like Megan Fox, Saweetie and Thalia. From sandals to pumps, Rivera wants you to look and feel like a queen—no matter the occasion.

You know Beautyblender, you love Beautyblender, but did you know that the innovative makeup sponges were created by Rea Ann Silva, a proud Latina? After getting a degree at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles to pursue a fashion career, Silva discovered she was more drawn to beauty, and became a makeup artist for music videos, films and TV shows, including Friday, Girlfriends and Moesha. As shows started to shoot in high definition, Silva realized that the actors’ makeup needed to be flawless, so she set out to create a tool that would provide an airbrushed finish. And that's how the iconic pink Beautyblender was born.

Beauty was always a passion for Gabriela Trujillo.

Named after her hometown of Alamar, Cuba, she combined her expertise and her love for her heritage to create collections that are shade-inclusive, cruelty-free and affordable.

28. Reina Rebelde
The biggest inspirations always come from our moms and this cosmetic brand is proof. Reina Rebelde (which means "Rebel Queen" in English) was inspired by Regina Merson's childhood. In awe of her mother's beauty rituals, Merson saw firsthand how powerful beauty can be—especially in the Latinx community. This guiding belief has helped the CEO embrace her identity while bringing out the boldness from within (which is displayed in her products). In her own words, she describes the brand as "the unapologetic woman who embodies and celebrates all her powerful dualities."

35. Rizos Curls
When she was growing up, CEO Julissa Prado went through a lot of products but none felt right on her curls. This led her to developing her own formula featuring natural ingredients (like aloe vera, coconut oil and shea butter) that would work on all hair types and textures. By 2017, Rizos Curls became a favorite among the curly community, while dismantling the notion that curly hair is "pelo malo" (aka "bad hair" in Spanish). As Prado explained to Who What Wear: "Since our launch, I have prioritized the brand’s three Cs: curls, community, and culture. And many told us it’s not possible to make money based on such strong values. Yet, it's these core values that drive our business."

Ceremonia is all about hair wellness and using raw ingredients like cupuaçu butter, aloe vera and patauá oil to promote strong and healthy hair. Growing up, founder Babba Rivera, a Latin American immigrant who grew up in Sweden, didn't feel represented in the limited selection of haircare products that were available to her. So, when she made her way to the United States after college, she vowed to start a haircare company that catered to her needs. "Ceremonia was born out of the desire to celebrate the richness of Latin culture, while highlighting the next generation of Latinx," she expressed on her website.

37. Hello Updo
Inspired by a hot day in the Dominican Republic, founder Magdaline Hurtado wanted to make hair ties catered to curly and coily hair. Tired of her hair ties constantly snapping and seeing an overall lack of hair accessories dedicated to textured and voluminous manes, Hurtado sewed her first (and most popular) item—the Biggish—straight in her abuela's kitchen. Two years later, she continues to give naturalistas an accessory they can rely on. "My hair means the world to me. It's not just hair; it's part of my identity, history, and pride. I wear it with honor," says Hurtado.

42. Vamigas
For co-founder and CMO Ann Dunning, the idea for Vamigas came to her after going through IVF. While going through the treatment, she discovered the Latinx community were often left out of the clean beauty/wellness space. She sought to decolonize the skincare industry and educate others on harmful chemicals in beauty products. With 20 years of experience working with start ups, Dunning and her co-founder (and third-generation Mexican American) Christina Kelmon launched the clean beauty brand in 2021. Using plant-based ingredients and inspired by the traditional rituals of Latin America, the brand offers a line of skincare products that are filled with local herbs and botanicals (like acia berry, aloe vera and jojoba oil).

For the first time, she began showcasing her face without makeup and corporate more skincare into her content. In 2021, she launched Dezi Skin to help her customers feel confident in their own skin, too. The brand worked closely with chemists to formulate products with people of color in mind.

You'll find all the staples you need in a skincare routine, such as a cleansing gel, overnight face mask and a vitamin C serum, which helps target dark spots, uneven skin tone and dryness. The brand also carries belly butter for the mamas-to-be.
