Fenty Skin has yet to launch and has already shook up the spaces where Black estheticians and skinfluencers dwell on social media. The roll-out for the brand is doing so well, products are already popping up on re-sell sites for up to $400! Go Rih-Rih.

With the all hype behind the celebrity centered brand, we’re reminded that togetherness is a beautiful thing. We’re sure Fenty’s July 31st launch will make history.

While we wait for Fenty, there are dozens of Black-owned skincare brands to support right NOW that were born in kitchens and basements around the country of dedicated Black people so we’d like to shine a light on them.
