Beauty For Body & Soul: Skincare Goodies By African-American Entrepreneurs
July 31, 2013
We all like to treat our skin with care, using products that are not only good for us but also make us feel luxurious and special.
The result is a ton on money being spent on beauty products. In fact, according to a report by The Beauty Company, the total sales in the beauty and personal care industry were roughly $426 billion in 2011. And sales are going up. Total global beauty sales for January through March 2012 were up 14 percent to $2.278 billion.
And African-American women spend $7.5 billion each year on beauty products. This is 80 percent more than the general market. “The reason it’s such a dramatic difference is attributed to the fact that African-American women have to sample more products to find the right ones for their skin,” reports New York Magazine.
So here are some beauty and personal care goodies from African-American entrepreneurs that might make the search a little easier.
