Sephora is the first brand to join the 15 Percent Pledge with the purpose of major retailers to pledge at least 15% of their shelf space to Black-owned businesses.

Sephora joined the pledge on June 10. More brands need to follow Sephora’s lead because there are not enough Black-owned beauty brands sold at mainstream retailers.

Support the Black community and shop these eight Black-owned beauty brands available at Sephora.

Hello and welcome to all our new followers and our old faithfuls ☺️ we want to tell you a little bit about our products and our company – we were founded in 2016 by @kristennoelcrawley after an inspiring trip to Japan. We were the first all natural lip mask to make it to the market, followed by our all natural eye mask. All of our products are paraben, sulfate, petroleum and animal cruelty free! The KNC eye mask is infused with hyaluronic acid, licorice root extract, retinol and rosemary! This eye mask will soothe, de-puff and brighten your under eye in less than 10 minutes ! The KNC lip mask is our baby, our first product, the original! Infused with collagen, bitter cherry extract, rose flower oil and vitamin E – your lips will be kissably soft and smooth after just one use. Supa Balm – comes in Mint and OG Rose (currently sold out) is a VEGAN, petroleum, preservative and paraben free lip balm. This balm is packed with moringa and kukui oil and kokum and Shea butters to leave your lips incredibly moisturized and hydrated all day long! Supa Scrub – our newest product, the most luxurious lip scrub you have ever experienced! Made with premium ingredients such as sunflower, lemon and moringa oil. Also comes with a reusable, silicone (BPA free) exfoliator brush. Pro tip: Use #supascrub first followed by our lip mask and seal the deal with #supabalm for the ultimate lip care.
