| black girl suncreen | Our story begins with the need for a sunscreen brand that caters exclusively to women of color. From carrying expensive umbrellas to the beach to avoiding the sunshine all together, women of color have come up with their own methods of protecting their skin. For years, sunscreen has been tailored to light skin individuals, leaving behind a visible white-residue on our darker skin sisters. Blotchy makeup and white residue were enough to keep people from truly enjoying a beautiful sunny day. Our founder thought it was about time to change that. In 2016, Shontay Lundy created Black Girl Sunscreen, a 30 SPF lotion formulated for women of color. Made with melanated skin in mind, BGS dries completely clear and protects melanin without the white-cast. Today, BGS is making moves! From hitting the shelves of Target and Ulta to global expansion, Black Girl Sunscreen has grown exponentially because of you ;). The goal of BGS is to start the conversation globally around sun safety to educate and protect melanin beauties worldwide. Now with three products, we’re saying Black does crack and it’s in our power to protect it. |

| bolden skincare | Bolden is the brainchild and passion of Chinelo and Ndidi, two dynamic women on a mission to embolden women around the world by celebrating their natural beauty. The two originally met as girls at boarding school in Nigeria but lost touch after Ndidi switched schools. Little did they know how their paths would cross and culminate in becoming not only business partners, but sisters-in-law. Many years later, the two women now with MBAs in hand, reconnected in New York City. In a serendipitous twist, they ended up marrying brothers and became family. They both left corporate jobs to follow their passion and create a high quality line of skin care products designed to meet the needs of women of color. Ndidi and Chinelo saw an unmet need and went about researching the best formulations to create an effective, beauty regimen. Using the best ingredients to create the most effective formulations, their goal is to create a sense of empowerment, confidence and pride among all women. Believing that true beauty comes from feeling good in your own skin, they named their brand Bolden from the word embolden. |
