Which Black-owned beauty and wellness brands do you want to see at Sephora? [Updated 8/24]

[SephoraBIC]

[[UPDATE 8/24: It's here! Just arrived at Sephora.com: PATTERN by Tracee Ellis Ross! Don't forget to visit 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.sephora.com/beauty/belong]]

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.

Can you guys please get the line by Juvia’s

place?! The color pallets pop so much, they have so many different foundation/match stick shades. It’s truly an underrated brand that EVERYONE would love.

Me being a mixed girl, there is not any particular brand that I am looking for so much as wanting to just see products that work for me and my hair or skin tone. It seems harder to find products that work well with my hair especially! As far as make-up goes, I've been told the selection is huge, but only if you know what you are doing!

Boafo Beauty Cosmetics is a great brand with an amazing mission! Check out the site @

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.
