Target Made It Easier Than Ever to Support Black-Owned Brands — Here Are Favorites
Over the past few years, our shopping habits have undoubtedly become more thoughtful, intentional, and purpose-driven. We’re not only pushing for and pursuing a more eco-friendly, low-waste living, but we’re also diversifying the brands we support, including shopping more Black-owned and Black-founded brands. And Target’s made it easier than ever to do the latter.
Launched in 2020, Target’s badge — a brown circle with five skin toned-hued hearts inside — identifies Black-owned or -founded brands. It’s usually found in the “At a Glance” section located just below the product and next to the Highlights. The “At a Glance” section also identifies whether a products is considered a clean-certified, cruelty-free, or vegan, among other identifiers.

“Target recognizes Black owned and founded brands as U.S. based enterprises that are at least 51 percent Black owned, operated and controlled,” the website states. So far, we’ve seen the badge on quite a few Black-owned brands across departments, from bath products and beauty products, like Mented and the Lip Bar, to some of our favorite food products.
Ahead, we’ve rounded up a handful of our favorite Black-owned and -founded brands at Target; but these are far from the only ones. August is Black Business Month, so it’s a great time to get well-acquainted with some of these fabulous brands. So, take a look around their site and keep an eye out for that badge!
