WHERE OUR WORK BEGINS

The standard of beauty is shifting. The brands that lead the shift will define the industry's next era.

Why This Work Matters

The numbers are impossible to ignore.

The beauty and lifestyle category is massive. The U.S. beauty market is valued at approximately $60 billion and growing — projected to reach $73 billion with a compound annual growth rate of 5%. Black consumers represent a driving force within that market, spending an estimated $7.5 billion on beauty products annually and nearly nine times more on hair care than the average consumer.

Yet the industry has consistently failed to protect the communities that power it most.

Beauty, fashion, and lifestyle apparel marketed to women of color have been found to contain a disproportionate number of potentially harmful ingredients, including chemicals linked to breast and ovarian cancer, uterine fibroids, and other serious reproductive health concerns. What’s even more, is that less than 10% of all breast cancer cases are linked to genetic factors, leaving over 90% attributed to environmental factor concerns (where you work, live, and play). This is not incidental. It is a systemic failure that demands a strategic, culturally informed response.

This is the work. And it's why we do it.
