The Black Owned Edit: Body Care That Gets It
No one understands what melanated skin needs to stay soft and moisturized like Black women. Once winter hits, dryness and dullness aren’t far behind, leaving our skin more prone to irritation and breakouts. That’s why intention matters when it comes to body care. These five Black-owned brands have created products designed to keep your skin supple and glowing all winter long. Allow us to put you on.
54 Thrones
Each product from 54 Thrones pays homage to all 54 countries in Africa, utilizing botanical ingredients sourced throughout the continent. If your dry skin is super severe, the African Beauty Butter would be the perfect addition to your body care routine. Made with East African Nilotica Shea Butter that deeply hydrates and West African Shea Butter for nourishment and protection, you can kiss your ashy days goodbye.
Buttah Skin
Dorion Renaud struggled to find skincare products that actually worked outside of the dermatologist’s office, so he took matters into his own hands and created Buttah Skin. His Soft Life Collection is a simple 2-step system featuring the CocoShea Body Wash and Body Cloud Crème, leaving you smelling like Coco Mademoiselle and feeling like a million bucks.
Oui The People
If you’re more into oils than butters and lotions, then Oui The People is going to be your cup of tea. The Featherweight Hydrating Body Gloss is infused with antioxidants and nourishing nutrients that lock in moisture and deliver a glow that looks like it came from within. The Orange Blossom scent is mood-lifting, and it absorbs quickly, so you won’t have to worry about staining your clothes or making a mess.

SkinBUTTR
Tatiana Elizabeth is setting out to stop the girls from hoarding products that don’t even solve our problems sustainably with the SkinBUTTR. By creating a product that works, she’s simplified the body routine process and saved you 20 minutes after your shower. All you need to do is apply your Honey Almond Buttr while you're still damp, and not only will you be soft, you’ll also smell amazing.
Brooklyn Body Butter
Brooklyn Body Butter has had the girls in a chokehold since 2017, and it just keeps getting better. The brand is best known for its Classic Rouge Body Butter, inspired by the Baccarat Rouge 540 fragrance at a much more accessible price point. It’s perfect for layering with the perfume if you already have it. Be prepared to hear 'you smell good' at least 100 times.
