Beauty companies killin the game
Skincare and beauty is political. In terms of access, who skincare is truly made for, labor, ethics and exploitation. And while there’s a million beauty brands to choose from, these are currently on my radar.
I urge you to go check out their new add for Palestine. They’ve always been on my radar as a black, women owned business but that add really has me standing and clapping! True art! They’re more than just a skincare brand as they speak up about mental...
Slick Salve Glossy Lip Balm Trio - Topicals | Sephora
Not only does cocokind produce quality products, they are also vocal about empowering women to choose what feels good to them (we’re talking clean products!!) and accessible to them.
Be Bold Ceramide Lip Blur Balm Hydrating & Smoothing Lip Treatment - cocokind | Ulta Beauty
Not only does Lush commit to ethical and sustainable practices, they support Palestine and they have a line where they donate 75% of the purchase to grassroots organization. This smells so good on my hair but also you can put it on your body. Versati...
Super Milk
This is one of their fundraising products and makes an adorable gift! Who doesn’t love a little sunshine into your body care.
It's Getting Hot In Here
Huda beauty has donated millions to Doctors Without Borders and Human Appeal. Need a new lip stain? Go to THEM!
Lip Contour Lip Stain for 12-Hour Wear - HUDA BEAUTY | Sephora
Apparel that stands up
Whether they’ve been in the game for a while or just entering, these are brands I know are producing ethically and putting their money back into communities.
I’m a big fan of the parks project because their main focus is protecting our environment but they don’t just have cheesy tees. Good quality that’ll last and creative designs!
Adventure With Friends Tee
Now girl…first off tampons are like 15 dollars now because they hate us. So these are more sustainable and cost friendly anyways but thinx also actively supports communities fighting for puberty education and true grassroots activism.
Thinx for All Women's Super Absorbency Cotton Brief Period Underwear, Black, Large, XLarge, Small, Medium
I’m a sucker for a good fleece and Patagonia’s ALWAYS hold up. They are an OG brand championing the way for environmental advocacy and ethical practices.
Women's Retro Pile Jacket
Not only do Bombas make quality socks but they also their socks to people affected by homelessness. These hold up well for me so it’s a win win!
Women's Marl Ankle Socks
Just like Patagonia, these fleeces hold up and whenever I see one in the wild I can immediately spot the brand! While I do wish their prices were more accessible, you know they are ethical and your money is being spread farther with parks project tha...
Yellowstone Geysers Trail High Pile Fleece
Home products with heart
Everyday products and decor can still hold weight!
100% recycled and 50% of profits go to help build toilets around the world. If you’ve traveled extensively like I have, you know the conditions some are using daily for their toilets and waste. This company has been long standing and making an impact...
Our Global Impact | Who Gives A Crap
Be rooted has such colorful planners and they give back to non profits like Loveland foundation that provides therapy to black women and children. A mission that is so important!
Let It Flow
Out of coffee? Let’s try a new company! Red bay coffee gives back by creating opportunities for people of color, formerly incarcerated people, and women. I love knowing that through my sips, it’s gone much farther than Starbucks would…
East Fourteenth
Dr.Bronners donates a significant amount to animals advocacy, drug policy reform, and environmental and climate justice. They’re also such an OG brand! Everyone knows they’re strong peppermint wash and while I do go on breaks with it their products r...
