It’s no secret that people with higher levels of melanin have been underrepresented in the beauty and cosmetic industry. As a Hispanic woman, I was raised thinking that light skin and hair you could comb your fingers through was the ideal form of beauty and this ideology was confronted when I felt fear of growing out my natural hair. I went through a journey of self-acceptance and self-love which also lead me to creating products for myself and purchasing many different products to see what worked for me.

As a result of this journey, I developed a love for self-care and beauty. After that I noticed that there were very few brands out there that were created with the colored woman in mind! In addition, I became aware of the harmful ingredients in many brands. And I am one who believes that nature holds all the
components to create effective products to aid in achieving a healthy complexion.

With this understanding I was inspired to create something where women of color weren’t the last thought; rather they were the inspiration and catalyst
that brought it to life. However, Gloryscent is a brand inclusive to humans of all shades and I am excited to serve you all well!
