How I Built a Black-Owned Skincare Brand That Delivers Real Results

The real story behind Prosperity Self Care Essentials
When I created Prosperity Self Care Essentials, I wasn’t thinking about trends. I was thinking about solutions real skincare solutions that could change lives the way they changed mine.
Like many of us, I was tired of trying product after product that promised a glow-up but delivered nothing but irritation, breakouts, or wasted money. I didn’t want skincare that only looked good on a shelf. I wanted something that worked especially for Black women, for sensitive skin, for people juggling a thousand things who still deserve to feel beautiful and cared for.
So I built it myself.
💛 The Mission: Results + Ritual
Prosperity Self Care Essentials was born out of two needs:
Clean skincare that delivers visible results, and
A self-care ritual that feels like a gift, not a chore.
Every formula in our collection is rooted in clean science and real experience powered by plant-based actives, gentle yet effective ingredients, and customer-tested results that speak for themselves.
One of our customers said, “Results in 3 days is insane!” That wasn’t luck that was intentional formulation and a deep commitment to quality.
✊🏾 Black-Owned and Bold By Design
Being a Black-owned skincare brand isn’t a trend. It’s personal. It means understanding the unique challenges and skin needs of melanin-rich skin and creating products that respect and celebrate that.
It also means navigating the beauty industry with a deeper sense of purpose. We’re not just selling skincare we’re redefining what effective, luxurious self-care looks like for people who have been left out of the conversation for too long.
🧪 Skincare That Works Without the Harm
We formulate with clean, clinical ingredients like:
Hyaluronic acid
Sodium PCA
Bakuchiol (a natural retinol alternative)
Botox-like peptides for smoother skin
AHA blends for gentle exfoliation
No harsh chemicals. No cheap fillers. No overhyped trends.
💼 From Caregiver to CEO
Before I was a founder, I was a caregiver someone deeply attuned to the needs of others. That experience shaped everything about this brand. Every product is made with empathy, with attention to how skincare fits into real, busy, sometimes exhausting lives.
You deserve skincare that works and works with your life.
