xoNecole Staff's Favorite Black-Owned Beauty & Skincare Products

Black History Month is still in full effect and while we celebrate our Black brothas and sistas year-round, there's nothing wrong with showing some extra love to the culture this month. From fashion to tech , we are the movers and shakers and the innovators, influencing many industries.

Although we don't always get the credit, we at xoNecole continue to use our platform to celebrate underrepresented individuals. For this month, xoNecole staff is highlighting our favorite Black-owned beauty & skincare products. See the list below.

Hanahana Beauty's Amber Vanilla Shea Body Butter- I always think of "Shea Butter Baby " whenever I apply this to my skin. The formula is so luxurious, has the perfect amount of thickness, and the scent makes me feel like a snack in all the best ways.

Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Hot Chocolit- It's my go-to lip gloss. I especially like to pair it with a lip liner for a sultry, evening look.

Buttah Vitamin C Serum- I've used a lot of vitamin C serums, but I love how this one feels on my skin and it helps clear dark spots for a healthy glow .

Dreka Jardin Facial Mist- I'm obsessed with the rosewater scent and it leaves my skin feeling refreshed.

Urban Hydration Bright & Balanced Aloe Vera Face & Body Soap-I love the mild scent and the clean, tingling feeling it leaves my skin after using it.

Beauty Favorites:

Danessa Myricks Beauty - Her shadows are so pigmented and colorful! An easy way to pump up a makeup look

Juvia's Place - Best affordable makeup in the game for darker skin tones. Her Culture palettes are unmatched.

Range Beauty - recently dropped in Sephora (Alicia, CEO was one of our 2024 ItGirls) and is approved by the National Eczema Association. Clean & gentle on skin!

Topicals - haven't used a Topicals product that hasn't significantly improved my skin! And it just feels like while it's calming your skin, its calming your spirit lol! Definitely want to try their new Clearly Clarifying products soon.

Rosen Skin Care - started me on the best skin care journey I could ask for. Simple routines and great for teenagers and girlies who want to stick to natural-based remedies

Beauty Favorite: Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder

May is about being patient, nurturing your dreams, and creating beauty in your world. This is a more stable and generous month than the chaos that April brought, and we get an opportunity for closure, healing , and rejuvenation this month. We are still amid some important retrograde transits, but these are ones we can navigate better by grounding our energy in the present moment, and not allowing ourselves to stress over the what-ifs.

With the Sun in Taurus for most of the month, May reminds us that there is beauty in finding your peace and not allowing anyone to disrupt that.

As with any journey, motherhood comes with its highs and lows, and ebbs and flows. And Black moms , especially those in the spotlight, have never shied away from keeping it real about the truth behind the beautiful chaos of raising children .
