5 Latinx-Owned Indie Beauty Brands That Will Grab Your Heart and Your Wallet
The brands that are representing “Pa La Cultura.”
Hispanic Heritage Month has kicked off and what better way to celebrate the culture than by highlighting Latinx-owned beauty brands that are doing the damn thing across all categories.
From skincare to makeup, these brands push boundaries, challenge norms and redefine beauty standards. Their innovative formulas, vibrant colors, and inclusive product ranges inspire and empower people of all backgrounds to embrace their individuality and express themselves confidently. The Latinx community is incredibly diverse, spanning more than 20 countries and encompassing many languages beyond just Spanish and English. Unfortunately, the media often overlooks the racial and cultural diversity within this community. Nevertheless, these Latinx-owned beauty brands serve as a testament to the culture’s richness and diversity of beauty traditions.
The Hypebae Beauty team has curated our own list to highlight some of our favorite Indie Latinx-owned hair, makeup and skincare brands that you need to be shopping. As always for any BIPOC awareness months, allyship and support go way beyond the month dedicated to these communities and should be patronized all year around.
