As much as we all love makeup, nothing says self-care quite like a body product [1]. From scrubs to body creams and butters, we love pretty much anything that'll make our skin look, feel, and smell amazing. If you feel the same way and haven't yet tried out these bestselling products from these Black-owned body brands, then you're seriously missing out.
Whether you're looking for anti-irritant razors or a scrub that smells exactly like cotton candy, read ahead to check out some of our favourite Black-owned brands [2] to shop for body products.
Oui the People
Founded by Karen Young, Oui the People's mission is to make all customers feel good in their own skin. The company sells an assortment of body products, but it's best known for its single-blade razors that provide a close, smooth shave minus the potential skin irritation that often follows hair removal.
