Our Philosophy
We are a small business inspired by natural ingredients and the beauty of healthy skin, my mission is to provide all natural luxury products for melanin rich skin. No more searching for what works best. No more separation of the retail aisle spaces. We are the aisle for you and your family.
Reimagine the relationship with our skin. We love your skin and continue to research each indulgent ingredient in every artisanal Amina Melanin creation made by my own very hands.
Why? Because our skin lets in nearly seventy percent of everything applied to the surface. That’s seventy percent of all the bleaches, artificial fragrances, aluminium/alumina, sulfates, silicones, steroids, and petrochemicals found in mass-produced skincare.
More than half of the ingredients on current skincare labels are not clearly recognizable. That stops with Amina M. We use simple yet effective all natural ingredients for good reason. Health is Wealth.
You can feel, smell and even taste (should you choose) the difference. My priority is providing a safe space for our skin to be recognized in it’s natural beautiful glory. Hope you love your skin as much as we do!
Handcrafted, small batch, artisanal creations.
Our Story
My name is Brooke W. and I am the owner and creator of Amina Melanin.
Amina M. was created in my kitchen 2020. As a result of the pandemic I knew this was the time to create something special that me and my friends could use while having limited access to resources. As someone who has always been committed to esthetics and all things natural, it only made since to start there. We currently make all natural handmade skincare products to order that cater to dry and maintaining healthy melanin rich skin. We focus on improving the appearance and texture of dry/flaky skin without the use of steroids & preservatives. Yes it makes operating more challenging and less cost effective compared to the masses, but nothing great comes easy. I personally strive to provide confidence that melanin rich skin can heal naturally & remain beautiful. We are invested in your skin every day and hope to see you join us on this voyage.
We operate out of Harlem, NY
