As Black History Month comes to an end, I wanted to highlight some Black-Owned Beauty Brands as a reminder to shop and support these brands all year long. Keep reading for some Black-owned skincare brands, makeup brands, hair care brands, and more! For each, I’ve included a description blurb from their website, the type of products they sell, and a product I’ve featured. I’ve also highlighted the ones based in Canada.
