In this cruelty-free shopping guide, we’re sharing a working list of Black-owned cruelty-free beauty brands.
Before creating this list, we definitely did not have enough cruelty-free & vegan beauty brands that represent the Black community and that was not OK. We know we can and must do better, starting with this list of Black-owned cruelty-free beauty brands to support.
By supporting and continuing to buy from more Black-owned businesses, you are showing up as an ally and supporting actual communities where injustice occurs. Let’s use our purchasing power as a voice to drive change in this world. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
