13 Women-Owned Lifestyle Brands To Support All Year Round

From color-changing blush to candles, celebrate Women’s History Month in style.

While March may be coming to a close and along with it, Women’s History Month, it is always a good idea to support women-owned brands 365 days of the year. Though women on average earn at least 30 cents less to every dollar a man makes, even less if they are a woman of color, women drive up to 80% of shopping decisions, so it’s important to put our money where it matters and back in the hands of those driving the culture. One way to support women all year round is by shopping with women-owned and led businesses from beauty brands to sustainable fashion labels, which is why we’re spotlighting 13 trailblazing female-founded companies we love for Women’s History Month, with the help of Shopify who kindly introduced us to a few brands.

Celebrate women’s ingenuity and inventiveness this season with Youthforia’s innovative BYO Blush, which not only adapts to the wearer’s individual skin tone, but can also be slept in — a first for makeup. Superzero also leads the pack with its creative solid shampoo and conditioner bars, while Arq provides beautifully and ethically made undergarments for the woman who loves to lounge.
