Top 5 Black-Owned Indie Beauty Brands to Support in 2021 and Beyond (British)

 

The indie beauty scene is growing at an extraordinary rate. Young black women in the UK are creating high-quality beauty product lines to rival the mainstream alternatives. Most independent brands start from a kitchen or dining room table and the products are beyond exceptional, to say the least. 

Here are five of the best black-owned indie beauty brands to support in 2021 and beyond. 

Telle Moi 

Telle Moi is a frontrunner on the Black-British independent beauty scene. A cruelty-free, vegan nail polish brand founded by Business and Law graduate Natel Allen. The idea for the brand came when Natel’s search for a suitable nude nail polish proved futile. 

Natel decided to create her own brand of nail polishes that would provide nude polish shades for women with darker skin tones. 

Telle Moi launched in 2019 with four nude colour options. To date, there are more than 50 bold, rich and vibrant shades to choose from. 

Louis Noir 

Louis Noir is a natural skincare brand that produces handmade toxin-free skincare products.

Louis Noir’s core products include body butter, scrubs and bath bombs. All naturally produced, chemical-free, vegan and handmade.
