Black Owned Beauty Brands – Curly Hair, Skincare & Makeup

While I understand that most people really love the convenience of shopping from places like Target, Walmart, and Amazon, I have always thought it is very important to vote with your dollars.

Think about where your money goes when you shop at certain places. What demand is this creating? Who is getting this money and who is it helping? What causes are these stores supporting and donating to?

I try to consider these things when I can. Sometimes budget means I don’t really have a choice. But if I can afford to shop better, I do.

The more money certain brands and stores get, the more demand there is. So we need to create a demand for more minority representation in the clean beauty industry.

I am so glad that right now more people are choosing to be conscious of this and want to support more minorities in our country.

Because of that, I rounded up all the Black-owned haircare, skincare, and makeup brands I recommend.

There are some brands I checked that do not list their ingredients lists or follow ethical standards so I chose not to include those brands in this list.
