The global beauty industry has made progress in celebrating diverse skin tones, but there’s still a major gap when it comes to skincare products tailored for darker skin tones.

Despite having unique needs, such as increased melanin activity, sensitivity to post-inflammatory
hyperpigmentation, and a natural glow that can be dulled by harsh products, many mainstream skincare lines still use a one-size-fits-all approach.

This presents a powerful opportunity for cosmetic formulators: To fill this need and create effective, respectful, and science-backed skincare products for deeper skin tones.
