It’s no secret that Black women love to indulge in beauty products, but the truth is, we love to create them too! For the diva who loves to lather up and slather on her favorite body washes, foot scrubs and hair creams, it feels good to know there’s a crop of Black beauty pioneers hard at work behind the scenes, bringing those luxurious products to life.

In honor of Black History Month, ESSENCE proudly salutes and supports these Black beauty entrepreneurs.
