An attractive point of discussion arose when I was investigating this story. My friend BIPOC noted that: “I question the whole industry of good looks. I feel creams to hydrate; I sense the shampoo cleans your hair, etc. or that celebrity. While this may be true in some contexts, as far as BIPOC is concerned, I respectfully disagree with this statement. The explanation for why the motion #BlackLivesMatter was so harsh and affects all aspects of society is that it will have to do the narrative and who controls it. As a POC, for so long, this industry, like many others, has been ruled by targets. These other people dictated what the so-called “standards” and “standards” were. Growing up, other people like me who didn’t have compatibility with those synthetic structures felt worse than.
While it might seem that these stories are “fashionable” right now and constantly appear in our collective news feeds, the general purpose and long-term purpose is to “normalize” those stories, they simply be a failure on the map that mitigates one of the person’s alleged (white) guilt.
Having worked in the fashion and beauty industries, I will have to admit that they can be powerfully depressing and depraved forces; these are multibillion-dollar industries that can attack impressionable people. However, in the same spirit, this can be a powerfully EMPOWERED force for good, especially now that we have an appearance of building our own narratives and access to a wider audience that is willing to listen. I hope those stories can magnify the voices of those who may not have such a “strong” or “great” highlight on the world stage.
In the end, I protect a more available philosophy than beauty/fashion can be: if it’s just one of the many multifaceted elements that can enrich our uniqueness, BUT it doesn’t mean it defines who we are. These stories matter, especially the other people behind those brands.
Here are some amazing good-looking BIPOC brands that you can now and always:
Based in Texas, this skin care and lifestyle company was discovered through Valencia McClure, a qualified breast cancer survivor and aromatherapist. To mitigate the emotional and physical effects of surgery and radiation, he had a strong preference for leading a toxin-free life: it was at that time that he discovered the myriad benefits of essential oils and aromatherapy. By formulating her own unique blends for her colleagues and her family, which has generated countless demands for more products, this has led her to discover her business in 2019.
The company creates products in homemade batches and uses only 100 percent herbal ingredients (all without chemicals, parabens and humanitarians with animals). Recommended elements: pomegranate anti-ageing facial oil; Herbal moisturizing hand sanitizer; Body scrub with rosemary; and the alive clean perfume.
Bossy Cosmetics founder and CEO Aishetu Fatima Dozie sought to take the term “authoritarian”, which is used in a pejorative sense, and spin it around. As she told BET, she explains that “for me,” authoritarian “means I’m with him; I’m an herbal leader, I say what I think, I’m frank, fairArray … we’re in the same boat and I need to move my network forward.”
As a harvard business graduate and Stanford Fellow, the entrepreneur made the transition from banking to beauty. She explains that running on Wall Street (investment bank) is where she has acquired many transferable skills she now uses in her current sector. In the end, the replacement comes from introspection (Wall Street left him exhausted), but hunger, interest and motivation remained. She then explained what it meant to her to be an entrepreneur and that “what it means to have economic strength beyond helping men have that strength.” So she turned to make-up: “This is my portrait of the war: I was looking for it to be ambitious but also to have practical facets like longevity and comfort of wearing,” so that his clients could be “rough all day.” It is also vital that your line is representative. “There are many other expressions of “naked” because it is based on the ethnicity and color of the skin.”
As a result, Bossy Beauty offers considered and surprising sun shadows (they are vegan and animal-free) liquid lipstick, lip gloss, lipstick, Lip Cheek Eye Glitter and the special Power Woman Essential collection that highlight five attributes that “feed female bosses on their non-public and professional journeys.”
Founder Octavia Dosier has created the features of Beauty Beet Boxa’s bimonthly underwriting box / 6 months / and 12 months that offer good appearance based on herbs and skin care treatments, without poisonous and human substances.
She explains that “our project at Beauty Beet Box is to introduce women of color to products that fit their good looks and skin care routine. Beauty Beet Box offers subscribers the products they’ve heard of and can’t wait to try. BUT, we will also introduce subscribers to products they’ve probably never heard of or never walked around thinking they would never paint for them.” The company is helping with all preparatory paints for subscribers in order to supply them with the highest quality products, in white and non-toxic herbarium.
He also adds that, as a BIPOC company, the continued commitment to supporting independent corporations like yours is more vital than ever. “When media policy is extinguished and the pandemic ends, diversity and inclusion are necessary because they give economic vitality, decorate communities, and publicitate productivity and resilience. For a green economy, holistic sustainability is highly unlikely without the inclusion of all.”
Asutra is an all-natural non-public care logo that is partially owned by Venus Williams. She explains that “one of the reasons I have become a brand director at Asutra is that they need everyone to prioritize their well-being and the practice of acute non-public care.
In addition to amplifying BIPOC voices and sharing their stories about how they use Asutra products in their own lives, the company’s team is made up of 77% of other people of color. And for Williams, this has been vital, especially now more than ever: “With the recent social movement, more and more people have begun to recognize and notice BIPOC brands and see the price of corporations that serve everyone, regardless of their skin. non-public color or background.”
Williams says she is incredibly revered for paintings with Asutra, a logo that has been at the forefront in terms of inclusion and diversity. “He emphasizes that everyone has the right to take care of their body, brain and soul. It is exciting to see more logos adopting the same philosophy as the existing movement (#BlackLivesMatter) and it is vital that this is a set of ideas that continues to spread across all sectors. »
The products best-selling and approved through Venus come with its set of economical varieties of anti-aging serums; Silk eye pillow (impregnated with lavender aromatherapy); and biological exfoliating with vitamin C.
In addition, in homage to his Anishinaabe roots, he recently introduced a diversity of less wasted lipsticks called Sustain. Not only are they created with biodegradable packaging (with the aim of getting rid of single-use plastic until 2023) and sustainable source ingredients (100% vegan and paraben-free), but each tone carries the call of the earth or earth. in one of more than 7000 indigenous languages (as a whole, Aki is a blue-red hue; Askhk is a plum rose; and Keyah is a pink-naked one. “For us, language is the basis of a culture, and for Aboriginal peoples, words imply knowledge. Our stories, songs and dances shared through our lips bring us together to our history,” Harper says.
Another fan favorite is its Warrior Women capsule collection, whose diversity of incredible sunshades and named after influential Aboriginal women who have helped their respective communities and filled cultural divisions.
Finally, as a logo with a net spirit, it strives to motivate and replace lives for the better, an attractive product at the same time, with 10% of the profits donated to Shannen’s Dream and Caring Society.
Tress Organix was founded through Pam Trice, a self-proclaimed enthusiast of good looks and “entrepreneurial mom”. His daughter Kassidy encouraged the creation of this line, which unfortunately suffered dramatic hair loss due to destructive chemical remedies and heat damage. As a result, Pam sought a biological solution to fix her daughter’s hair. Finally, in his own studies and tests, he has designed a variety of very extensive and moisturizing hair creams, conditioners and moisturizers. Trice explains that “by focusing on scalp nutrition and constant hydration of the follicles, Tress Organix products are designed to decorate all hair textures with the right remedy (e.g. through non-rinsing masks) and daily maintenance.” Its products are made with all-natural and biological ingredients that come with coconut oil, avocado and olive, aloe leaf juice, jojoba oil and hibiscus extract, to name a few. The hair recovers and leaves smooth and nourished, avoiding breakage and improving its elasticity and strength.
Diversity is also top quality and affordable; Popular products come with your Bliss Deep moisturizer; Honey and hibiscus softening silk cream; Intensive remedy with jojoba oil; Moisturizing conditioner without rinsing with rose oil; and the Tress moisturizing gel cap.
Brown and Coconut was discovered through two sisters, Letisha and Zeena Brown, discovered in Boston, MA. The duo were frustrated by the lack of effective products that may not combat or alleviate the symptoms of their severe acne. It was then that they were struck by a revelation and sought to nourish their skin from the inside out. In addition to reviewing their nutrition and diet, they eliminated destructive skin care products that only exacerbated their condition. Brown and Coconut was born and started as a lifestyle blog in 2013 to tell about her adventure into a more conscious and holistic life. Given the lack of effective products on the market, they have been motivated to expand their own diversity of skin care products. “After researching and identifying the ingredients we discovered effective in curing our skin, we proposed formulas that matched our needs: herbal products that did exactly what they said. Because of our good luck with our own skin, we started promoting our products.
In addition, the formulas are incredibly nutritious: “Our entire diversity of skin care is comfortable but effective, plan-based, vegan, fresh/small and minimal (we thoroughly use our ingredients and use as little as possible).” Although Zeena and Letisha have acne-prone skin, their diversity is suitable for all skin types.
The recommended products come with its blemish correction set (restores the harmony of unbalanced skin and come with a cleanser, kale mask and a mini ceramic bowl), a rejuvenating game (exfoliating, illuminating and hydrating the skin; it comes with a creamy cleanser, facial polisher and facial moisturizer) and Nourishing Body Oil (whose enriching formulas come with wrapping oil). pomegranate and squalan seed oil).
At the forefront of the hash movement is Dr. Manisha Singal, medical director and co-founder of Aethera Beauty. It has created a non-toxic skin care logo that includes rich tropical concentrates and Soothing Cannabis Sativa and CBD (with doses starting at two hundred mg) for calm, radiant skin. In this diversity of skin care, its good looking products use antioxidant-rich hemp seed oil to nourish the skin. In addition, it takes advantage of the strength of Caribbean plants such as hibiscus, steel cherry and guava extracts, which help the skin to be smoother and brighter. The recommended products come with your Sunrise Botanical Reboot Serum with CBD, the Everyday Botanical Brightening Concentrate with CBD and Sunset Botanical Rejuvenating Serum with CBD, all of which contain between two hundred and 500 mg of CBD, as well as walnut/vegetable seed oils and a mixture of botanical extracts that help skin untangle and revitalize.
In addition, Dr. Singal’s wisdom on CBD/THC goes beyond attractive products. As an industry leader, she is the pioneer of the country’s first CBD/THC pain management hospitals. In addition, she is qualified to prescribe medical hashish in Washington, D.C., and is a member of Americans for Safe Access, Women’s Grow and the International Cannabinoid Research Society (ICRS).
Co-founder and ceo Trinity Mouzon Wofford has been surrounded by the intelligent, grassy appearance of the Hudson River Valley, where she grew up. As she explains, “she had a circle of relatives who prioritized intelligent-quality herbal ingredients and an all-body wellness approach.” It was this positive exposure that motivated her to pursue a career as a holistic doctor.
However, while studying pre-med at New York University, he explains his crisis of conscience: “I have more and more problems with the lack of access to herbal physical care.” It was then that he replaced Trail and embarked on a dial/tech race. Finally, with his skills and talents, he discovered his vocation and merged his fondness for storytelling and well-being. In 2017, he introduced Golde with his partner, Issey Kobori, with the main goal: “to make wellness fun and available to customers.”
By making non-public care more accessible and kind with stories to tell and practical advice, she points out that even completely herbal masks are edible: “they are absolutely herbal free of charge.” Popular products also come with Clean Greens Face Mask, an anti-pollution mask made of chlorella, spirulina, marshmallow root extract and mango juice. The formula detoxifies gently while selling skin renewal and repair. Meanwhile, the Papaya Bright face mask contains superfruits such as lucuma, papaya and hawthorn berries, whose gel formula helps exfoliate to reveal flexible and radiant skin. Finally, if you want a complete kit to feed from the inside, Golde also offers its complete beauty and wellness kit that comes with its main essential superfoods: 3 turmeric tonics and its two superfood masks.
