As the warm summer months approach, it's time to rethink our beauty routines and switch to products that won't harm our skin or the environment. Non-toxic beauty brands are gaining popularity, and for good reason. They prioritize ingredients that are safe for our bodies and the planet, without compromising on efficacy.

For women who are conscious about what they put on their skin and hair, it can be challenging to navigate the overwhelming number of options in the beauty industry. After having fun in the sun, we should prioritize soothing and effective products that repair and refresh our skin and hair without irritating them further with harmful toxic chemicals.

Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the confederate states on June 19, 1865.

This coming Monday, June 20, 2022, will be the second Juneteenth officially recognized as a federal holiday in the U.S.

In observance of Juneteenth, we celebrate by recognizing the following incredible Black-owned brands. They are created by fearless and inspiring business owners and innovators.
