- Carol’s Daughter
-
Carol’s Daughter specializes in products relating to hair care and skin care. The company originated in Brooklyn, New York when the founder first started selling her products at local flea markets. These products work for all hair types and I can fully attest to their impact. I started using their Black Vanilla Hydrating Leave-In Conditioner which helps with moisturizing while also acting as a detangler.
- The Lip Bar
-
The Lip Bar was launched in 2012 and provides an abundance of lip products in an overwhelming amount of colors. The brand actually was presented on “Shark Tank” but was ultimately turned down, but this did not stop the partners from growing and making a name for themselves in mainstream stores such as Target. Plus, their products are certified vegan, and who doesn’t love that?
- Coloured Raine
-
Coloured Raine is a cosmetic beauty brand founded in 2013 by Brooklyn-born, Caribbean Loraine Dowdy. Many of the shades of cosmetics are specifically designed for people of color, as well as demonstrating vibrancy and diversity. They make a point to employ individuals of color with 100 percent of their staff being black, and 75 percent being women.
- Alikay Naturals
-
Alikay Naturals is another brand specializing in hair care. Designed predominantly for people of color, their products provide above average hair care products for a wide range of hair types. Since its founding, Alikay Naturals has taken over stores worldwide, and their brand can be found in countries such as The Netherlands, The United Kingdom, and Jamaica.
- Camille Rose
-
Camille Rose provides a diverse selection of beauty products ranging from hair care to facial products. Their website helps break down their products into different hair types and makes finding beauty products that much easier. Founder and mother of five Camille Rose was driven to design hair products for people of color, as well as facial products that aim to fight skin conditions, inspired by her child’s experience with eczema. Made with the highest quality of ingredients, Camille Rose provides dependable products inspired by her own experiences.
