[[UPDATE 9/20/22: Let's take a moment to celebrate our latest brand spotlight on our Black-Owned Beauty Guide, Briogeo! While not a new brand to Sephora, Briogeo from founder Nancy Twine is a clean beauty favorite that always brings something new and interesting to the hair game. Nancy Twine is on a mission to deliver clean, mindfully formulated products for ALL hair types and textures. Learn more about the brand and its suite of products on our Black-Owned-Beauty Guide, and read the latest updates on the steps Sephora is taking to champion diversity and inclusion beyond the 15 Percent Pledge: https://www.inside-sephora.com/en/usa/diversity-equity-inclusion]]

We recognize how important it is to represent Black businesses and communities, and we must do better. 

You may have seen in Summer 2020 that Sephora partnered with designer Aurora James to take the 15% Pledge. The 15% Pledge is James’ nonprofit calling on retailers (like Sephora) to dedicate 15% of shelf space to Black-owned brands. Why 15%? As explained on the 15% Pledge website, “Black people in the U.S. make up nearly 15% of the population. So, we are calling on major retailers to commit a minimum of 15% of their shelf to Black-owned businesses.” We are so excited to be the first retailer to take the pledge and are looking forward to seeing others join us in the 15% Pledge. Next, we want to hear from you!*

Which Black-owned beauty and wellness brands do you want to see at Sephora? Be sure to let us know your favorite product(s), what makes this brand unique, etc. 

Thank you in advance for your guidance and support. We look forward to learning from you!

*We will not be able to guarantee these brands join our Sephora brand roster, but we value your expertise as individual beauty lovers who shop outside of Sephora and our brands. Black-owned brands interested in partnering with Sephora can apply through RangeMe.

Lipbar + UrbanSkinRX

@supadope UrbanSkinRX is not Black owned. It was founded by Rachel Roff, a white woman, and has Black/African-American executives (2 of the Board of Directors (one is the founder of The Lip Bar) and founding medical director). I think it's great that the percentage of Black executives at UrbanSkinRX is above the average percentage of Black/African-American executives in the cosmetics industry.

Hope this helped.

UrbanSkinRX is not Black owned. It was founded by Rachel Roff, a white woman, and has Black/African-American executives (2 of the Board of Directors (one is the founder of The Lip Bar) and founding medical director). I think it's great that the percentage of Black executives at UrbanSkinRX is above the average percentage of Black/African-American executives in the cosmetics industry.

Also the website only mentions Rachel as the founder. 

Hope this helped.

Coloured raine owned by Lorraine Dowdy. She has really great products, especially unmatched foils

Minimo

Products are spectacular. Rose toner, face masks, lip scrub, vitamin C serum, body scrubs...all natural ingredients and care. Even coffee body scrub...which I neva would have thought I needed! 

I've been a customer for 4 years straight on that rose toner for my face n neck. They deserve some Sephora love since they only seem to grow and improve their products and style.

Pholk Beauty is Black woman owned and honestly her products are absolutely amazing. That toner she has is beyond anything, I prefer it to every other toner I've ever used, and her face masks are fresh and beautiful. The lotions are sumptuous and multi purpose. The people of Jersey City love her and she's supported and stocked by all the independent stores, but I'd love to see her get even more recognition and $$$$
