Black Girl Sunscreen, if you’re a loyal reader of SHEEN then you know how much we love Black Girl Sunscreen. This skincare brand is specifically created for women of color. The founder, Shontay Lundy created this skincare brand to cater to fit everyone’s skin tone needs. The first product launched from Black Girl Sunscreen was the Broad Spectrum SPF 30. It is the perfect sunscreen for darker complexions and the best part about it is that it is vegan! In addition, the product is lightweight on the skin and does not leave a white cast.

Akura Wellness is a skincare brand that aims to provide people with clean beauty products and a healthy lifestyle. Through their products, they have provided us with a line of nurturing products since their official launch back in 2018. William Chapman III created this line in an effort to help others live totally well – starting with their skin. The brand’s best-selling product is their Advanced Hand Sanitizer. The hand sanitizer was released just a few months ago which came at the perfect time with our current pandemic going on. I love how soft this hand sanitzier is and that it does not dry out the skin. I’ll never look at another hand sanitizer the same way.

It contains baobab oil straight from Ghana.

Oui the People, Karen Young founded Oui the People back in 2015 and since then, people have not quit raving about the products. The brand promises that they don’t want to perfect your skin, they instead want to make you feel beautiful in your own skin. Which, I thought was super unique in a skincare brand. One of the many fan-favorite products from Oui The People is their Featherweight Hydrating Body Gloss. I swear to you, your skin will thank you. I never felt so luxurious using a product before. It contains avocado oil, rosehip, and many ingredients that will keep your skin moisturized and glowy throughout the day.
