Customer Spotlight: MelanBrand Skin
Q: Can you give us a brief description of your business and the types of products you offer?
“At MelanBrand Skin, we specialize in providing skincare solutions tailored specifically for melanated skin. Our products are non-toxic, gluten-free, cruelty-free, vegan, and made from natural ingredients. We understand the unique needs of our community and are dedicated to offering products that cater to sensitive skin, eczema, and other specific concerns.”
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about your background?
“We started MelanBrand Skin out of a personal need to find suitable skincare for Bron when he was much younger. He was using water, soap, and lotion. This made his skin extremely dry. Bron would also use my skincare products that formulated for adults, which contained ingredients not suitable for young skin. This journey made us realize the lack of adequate products in the market and inspired us to create our own solutions. Our industry is crucial because it addresses a significant gap in the market, ensuring that people with melanated skin have access to products that are both effective and safe.”
Q: What do you love the most about what you do?
“What we love most about our work is the impact we have on our customers’ lives. Hearing stories about how our products were effective, whether soothed a child’s eczema and psoriasis, or provided a solution for sensitive skin, is incredibly rewarding. We take pride in creating products that our customers can trust and rely on. Not to mention that we are creating lifelong habits for our youngest customers ages seven and up. Our vision is to create an inclusive skin care industry where all children have access to natural, effective products that promote health and confidence. We aim to inspire a generation proud of their natural beauty.”
