Like many in the past year, it is becoming more and more important for me to think about what I am buying. Gilt City is always a great resource as the expertly curated collection of brands leads me straight to novelties and developments (and the insider-level discounts don't hurt either). Whenever I can, I want to support small businesses where my money will have the greatest impact. That's why I was very excited to see Gilt City partner with six black beauty and jewelry brands, all of which were created to serve important holes in beauty and fashion spaces. Particularly in the beauty industry, where there has been a lack of inclusivity in terms of representation and service for far too long, Unsun Cosmetics, Nuele, BeautyStat, Tone Dermatology and Taylor Beauty have developed sunscreens, hair serums, dermatological services and more for people of all skin tones. Plus, Grandma the Label has some of the cutest, most well-made jewelry at affordable prices. Right now you can buy credits between 30 and 50% on Unsun, BeautyStat, Oma, Nuele, Tone and Taylor.
Katonya Breaux created Unsun Cosmetics to address the shortage of high quality, natural SPF products for women in color in the beauty industry. Unsun's mineral-tinted sun protection is available in light / medium and medium / dark colors. Therefore, it is ideal as a primer under your make-up or on its own for a natural glow without white residue. There is also an everyday mineral face sunscreen and SPF hand cream, as your hands need protection too.
New York stylist Neumi Anekhe founded Oma the Label in 2018 with the aim of eliminating the lack of diversity in the fashion sector. Their designs showcase all of the styles the fashion set is wearing right now: chunky chain necklaces, herringbone links, and large hoops, to name a few. All parts are made from high quality materials and marketed at affordable prices so anyone who wears them can feel empowered and confident.
Nueles Hair Serum is the result of four years of research by Dr. Christine Martey-Ochola and Anne Cheatham, two scientists who wanted to take control of their locks and give them a healthy glow. Formulated with natural ingredients by women farmers in Ghana and Morocco, this hair serum contains five concentrated oils (Joboba, Moringa, Argan, Rosemary and Clary Sage) that get the best out of all hair types, from curly to straight. And with your order, Nuele will plant a moringa tree in Ghana on your behalf.
In addition to being a medical and cosmetic dermatologist, Caroline Robinson, MD is an advocate of diversity in dermatology and reducing healthcare disparities for people of color. Their mission to promote education and treat skin conditions common in people with darker skin was a huge inspiration for their brand, Tone Dermatology, a patient-focused dermatology office in the South Side of Chicago. Tone offers medical and cosmetic services through virtual appointments and through its curated online store that sells products for all types of skin needs, from the scalp to the toes.
Speaking of hand care: More than ever, our hands need a little more moisture to compensate for all the extra washing and disinfecting we do these days. Taylor Beauty is a family-run line of hand lotions inspired by aspects of everyday family life: Peche is named after her trip to St. Maarten, where the idea for Taylor Beauty was born. Blue Razz is an ode to their favorite candy and mushy taste. Coconut Kiwi is meant to serve as a constant reminder of summer and tropical fun; Strawberry avocado represents two ingredients that go well with anything you want to eat.
