12 BLACK WOMAN OWNED SKINCARE BRANDS TO TRY

Supporting black women is (or should be!) as American as apple pie. Black-owned skincare brands have always been around, but they’re more visible now than ever.

Studies show that black skin is more prone to eczema and has higher levels of water loss. So it’s no wonder products formulated by black women prove to be high quality solutions to persistent skincare problems!

Here are 12 Black-woman owned natural skincare brands to try this July 4.

BGLH Marketplace

We’ll start with the obvious! BGLH Marketplace specializes in body butter, with more than 20 scent varieties. Shea, cocoa and mango butter are all used in their formulations, and everything is scented with essential oils (no synthetic fragrances.) From Rose Blended Butter to Mocha Latte, you’ll find something yummy that you love!

The Healing Place Apothecary

Bringing awareness to natural beauty solutions, Nubian Flunder created The Healing Place Apothecary to provide customers with plant-based products that are rooted in principles from Asia, Africa, and the Americas. We hear that their Pit Scrub not only detoxifies the armpits but the body as well!
