The Black Owned Edit: 5 Black Skincare Brands You Need to Shop
It’s Black History Month, so you already know we had to highlight the Black-owned skincare brands that you need to know. These products are known to fix the skin problems that impact us the most. Think: dryness, hyperpigmentation, and texture. It doesn’t matter if you’re a 10-step or a 3-step routine type of person; there is a black-owned brand that has the products needed to literally glow up. Consider this your cheat sheet for all the Black-owned brands you need in your rotation.
Humanrace
Everybody is always asking Pharrell Williams to drop his skincare routine, but he already released a full line, so you can age backwards, too. It’s a simple three-step process—rice powder cleanser, lotus enzyme exfoliator, and humidifying face cream—and it only takes three minutes, morning and night. You’ve got the keys now.
Bolden
If you’ve been dealing with fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots, the Bolden clear skin kit will get you right. The key ingredients are glycerin, niacinamide, glycolic acid, and octinoxate, which work together to protect your skin barrier, improve texture and elasticity, promote cell turnover, and give you broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection.
Topicals
There’s a reason this brand’s under-eye masks were so popular last year: Topicals is intentional about simplifying skincare routines with multitasking products that work for every shade. If you're struggling with acne, you can try the acne reset kit and get the Faded Serum, Clearly Mask, Clearly Mist, and a mask applicator brush for just $60.

Reframe Beauty
Savannah James is letting us in on how she keeps that glow with Reframe. The 3 product line features the pigment processor, compression complex, and circadian cream, made to be easily incorporated into the routine you already have. Combined, the products will help to preserve and maintain your natural skin tone, fight discoloration, and smooth and refine the skin texture.
Sweet July Skin
Ayesha Curry has her hands in many pots, and the beauty industry isn’t off limits. The Revive + Renew Duo from her award-winning skincare line, Sweet July, is some of the best stuff to hit the shelves. The Pave Exfoliating Cleanser has a hint of fresh mint that’ll wake your skin up and have it feeling refreshed, while the toner resets the skin.
