14 Black Owned Self Care Brands

14 Black Owned Self Care Brands

Mechanic Shop Femme may earn a small commission on purchases made through this post.

As a society, we focus a lot on self care. The next time you buy something in the name of self care, why don’t you do it from one of these Black owned brands?

From hair care to makeup and skin care, candy and an olive oil subscription, you can treat yourself and support Black owned businesses while you do it.

Don’t just buy one product today and forget about this list, bookmark and share it. Make buying Black owned part of your regular shopping and self care experiences.

Some of the brands on this list are personal favorites. Others are new to me but have been around for years. Black owned businesses aren’t a new phenomenon. They’ve been around, you might have not prioritized knowing what they are or shopping from them. Now there is no excuse.
