I don’t know about you, but when I can find beauty brands from black owned businesses I get excited! While I was doing my research there are a TON of beauty brands that are doing amazing things for melanin skin like using clean ingredients, sourcing from reputable places and science.
I’ve found a few beauty brands that I will definitely be adding to my skin care regimen. Here are 7 black owned skincare brands to try this year!
1. Hyper Skin
Hyper Skin celebrates black and brown skin needs as well as every skin tone. I love how they are vegan, use clean natural ingredients and avoids parabens, sulfates and phthalates. The founder of Hyper had her own personal battle of acne and dark spots as a teenager. Thus she created this brand to bring awareness in today’s modern skincare for black and brown skin.
Try their popular Hyper Skin Hyper Clear Brightening Clearing Vitamin C Serum
2. Epara
Using organic ingredients from Africa, Epara means “to cocoon oneself” a dialect of Ebira in Nigeria. Epara is luxury skincare for women of colour. You will find cleansers, moisturizers, masks, serums and more. Founder and CEO Ozohu Adoh realized that women of colour were under served in the skin care community. She needed to create a skincare line that would create a solution for dry and uneven skin tone.
Try their popular cleansing oil
3. Skin Buttr
If you’re looking to nourish your skin with body butters, scrubs and more. Skin Buttr has all that you need to create smooth, glowing skin just for you. They promote loving the skin you’re in and building the confidence of each woman. Plus they like to keep your skin routine simple and sustainable.

4. Brown girl Jane
Brown girl jane was founded by black women who are currently making black girl magic moves in the industry. They focus on the wellness of women. As our world is constantly moving and our brains are non stop, they have created a luxurious plant based skin care brand that helps our sistas.

5. Topicals skin care
Topicals uses science-proven data to enhance skin care. They advocate for mental health as people who have skin care issues tend to have depression and anxiety. They are free of synthetic fragrance, animal testing an dyes.
Try their popular brightening and clearing serum
6. UnsunSunscreen
Katonya Breaux founded Unsun and noticed the lack of available sunscreen products that weren’t harmful to the body. She provides great sunscreen info on her website and the conclusion is that no matter what, you need to wear sunscreen! Melanin skin needs it regardless and her sunscreen is mineral based which means you can go outside right away instead of waiting on the 20 minute chemical based sunscreen.
Try their popular mineral tinted face sunscreen in medium dark. (there is another tinted sunscreen for lighter tones)
7. 54 thrones
I want to try everything! Founder Christina Tegbe was inspired by her childhood memories of receiving butters from Nigeria and created this brand to spread clean beauty. They have a lot of best sellers ranging from butters, body oils, body masks and more.
