By India Espy-Jones ·Updated April 28, 2026 < /> Getting your Trinity Audio player ready… We’ve all learned a thing or two about beauty from our mothers. How to sit still getting your hair done? Check. How to be quiet while sneaking lipstick from her vanity? Shh! How much vaseline to slather on? Never enough. On Mother’s Day, we’re looking back at the beauty lessons we’ve learned and, for Black beauty founders, those memories are why they developed their own brands in the first place.
From Sabrina Elba’s mother claiming castor oil is the “cure for everything” to Tracee Ellis Ross learning how to DIY from Diana, these generational rituals are passed down from mothers to the daughters who become them. Supporting Black-owned beauty brands, then, is supporting the rituals we collectively hold close to home.
From pregnancy-safe skincare to classic tortoise shell combs, shop 9 Black-owned beauty gifts for Mother’s Day.
