Following the announcement of Ami Colé’s closure after securing significant funding and receiving various accolades, there are growing questions about the future for other Black beauty entrepreneurs. It is evident that they still require our assistance. We are launching Volume 2 of our skincare list to highlight additional brands that are worthy of your consideration. Previously, we published a list of Black-owned skincare brands aimed at helping you find quality products that focus on the needs of melanated skin. It’s time to present that list once again, diving further in. Volume 2 showcases additional remarkable brands—some are fresh faces, while others are beloved names reshaping the beauty landscape in their own way. Chocolate and Coconut. A family-run brand specializing in plant-based skincare that is both gentle and effective, particularly designed for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Their products boast simple ingredient combinations such as botanical clays, aloe, and hemp seed oil. Shea Yeleen. This social business provides body care products that use unrefined shea butter obtained directly from women-led cooperatives in West Africa.
