6 Beauty Brands That Are Gender-Fluid and Inclusive
Makeup, skincare and body care products for all.
Celebrating people of different sexual orientations and gender identities, more and more brands within the beauty industry are moving away from traditional norms for better representation, diversity and inclusion. Self-expression is now more important than ever — instead of boxing oneself in and conforming to society’s standards, being authentic and embracing one’s natural features are becoming widely perceived as beautiful. In honor of Pride Month, we’ve gathered a list of gender-inclusive brands that champion beauty in all its forms.
Here, you’ll find makeup brands like Byredo, TooD Beauty and We Are Fluide, which offer vibrant, pigmented color cosmetics for all kinds of looks. We’re also spotlighting skincare and body care brands F. Miller as well as (MALIN+GOETZ), while Lil Yachty‘s nail polish company CRETE rounds out our list. Read on to learn about the gender-neutral beauty brands on the market.

Known for its popular fragrances, Byredo expanded its offering with its own makeup products in 2020. “When I launched Byredo, it didn’t make sense in my mind to have separate fragrances for men and women, which was the industry norm back then — I think with color and makeup, this also applies,” Ben Gorham shared with HYPEBAE on the inaugural collection. Since the launch, the label has continued to release makeup products in sleek packaging, with formulas and pigments designed for all.

This Pride Month, F. Miller is donating 10 percent of its sales to The Trevor Project and Rainbow Railroad, while 100 percent of proceeds from the Lip Balm goes to the LGBTQ Freedom Fund.
