5 Female Owned Businesses You Should Be Supporting

Female owned businesses do not always get the love they deserve especially when they are small or just starting off.  Here are 5 female owned businesses to start supporting today!

The Lip Bar

Had it not been for Melissa Butler’s perseverance after being turned down on the hit tv show, Shark Tank, we may not have the lipstick collection we have today. This brand is vegan and cruelty-free with a wide range of colors suitable for any skin tone. Since its origin, they have expanded their brand from just lipsticks to foundations, blush, mascara, and even a highlighter palette. Now, you can do a full face makeup look for a reasonable price. This brand is sold in Target and on their website.

Susi Studio

Founder Bianca Moran created this vegan shoe brand in 2016 and has since then gained much success. They have over 21,000 followers on social media and have truly exemplified their mission of showing compassion towards humanity. Though they are based in Los Angeles, they still work with production factories in both Hong Kong and Portugal. You can shop for new shoes that help the environment at susistudio.com

The Honey Pot

You may remember when this brand was in the news for being “racist” for a Target ad featuring women of color that upset many Caucasian women. However, this brand has had increased sales since the incident. They were even completely sold out at one point! This feminine care collection has everything you need to take care of your home girl downstairs. Wipes, feminine wash, pads, and newly added menstrual cups. They even have specified collections to cater to expecting mothers and sensitive skin beauties. To shop for their products, just go to thehoneypot.co. 

As you explore these brands and support them also make sure to support your friends who have their own businesses! Also, don’t forget that your support doesn’t always have to come from your wallet. You can support by posting about a female owned business and getting the word out or even by sending a quick word of praise and encouragement to the owner.
