This December, team ESSENCE is partnering with Target to bring the first-ever ESSENCE + New Voices Entrepreneurship Summit And Target Holiday Market to Atlanta. In anticipation of this premiere holiday event event, we’re spotlighting a few of the amazing Black-owned brands who will setting up shop onsite to meet all of your last-minute shopping needs!
Mielle Organics is the hair and skin care brand you never knew you needed. Founder Monique Rodriguez launched the line in 2014 with just a single product, but it wasn’t long before she expanded her brand into a sought-after brand that offers organic hair care, skin care and children’s products across a total of eight collections. Just five years after taking a leap of faith into the world of entrepreneurship while working as a full time nurse to fund her own startup, Monique has transformed from a hard-working woman with a dream into a bonafide business guru who’s brand is now available on the shelves of some of the country’s largest retailers—including her latest hair care collection that sold out just 30 minutes after it launched this past summer.
Scroll through to shop some of our favorite products from the Mielle line and then be sure to grab your tickets HERE to shop in person at the ESSENCE x Target Holiday Market in Atlanta. (Pro-tip: a combination of any of these products make an amazing holiday gift basket!)
Happy holidays!
