We are watching the news of what is happening in the US from Germany, deeply heartbroken. #BlackLivesMatter. We won’t pretend we know more about this matter than you. However, as a small beauty startup with a WOC founder, we know how important and difficult it is to get the proper recognition. What we also know well is to vote with our wallet.

Beauty Independent and Breaking Beauty Podcast inspired us to buy our next beauty items from black-owned beauty brands. We love that! Therefore, we curated the list below. More importantly, all brands mentioned are available in Germany and also worldwide! If you know more businesses that fit the category, please let us know in the comments. We’re always eager to get to know new beauty brands.
