Mission
BareNine Holistics is a Black, Woman-owned indie skincare brand at the intersection of Health and Beauty. Our handcrafted products help heal the underlying causes of disruptive skin through simple yet effective formulas and holistic education. We pride ourselves on providing beauty care and fundamental holistic lifestyle education our customers can understand. This is why we've ditched the long toxic ingredient lists most commercial skincare brands offer and created a full product line surrounding nine key effective ingredients. It is important to us to not only provide clean skincare, but to educate consumers on the benefits of small holistic lifestyle changes and how it can contribute to healing problematic skin. We achieve this by way of embracing the nine dimensions of holistic health.
Problem
Black Beauty consumers spend nearly nine times more on their beauty care products than non-Black counterparts (In 2021, they spent $6.6 billion on beauty). However, Black Brands make up only 2.5% of revenue in the Beauty Industry. Black consumers also express an affinity towards beauty brands and products that are catered to them/Black Owned. However, only 4 to 7% of beauty brands carried by retail stores are Black Owned. A smaller percentage of those brands embrace 100% clean ingredients. In addition, more than half the products sold within the beauty industry contain toxic chemicals like parabens and formaldehyde, that even when applied topically, can cause serious health issues long term. This is where BareNine Holistics enters the chat!
Solution
BareNine bridges the gap between accessible beauty care and Black + Brown Skin needs by way of our simple yet effective formulas that take the complicated, toxic ingredients out of your everyday skincare products.
BareNine was created in May 2020 and in a short amount of time, has generated a lot of buzz! From being awarded by the KC Chamber of Commerce as a Small Business Superstar, to being featured in interviews with KCTV, FOX4, Canvas Rebel, and VoyageKC. Our latest and greatest achievement is scaling our products to Community Groceries in Kansas City, MO. Our products have helped so many people all over the US heal their skin, gain confidence and switch to nontoxic, clean skincare.
