LUV + CO. is an inclusive, Black woman-owned makeup brand created to equalize the clean beauty industry and highlight
the necessity of self-care for women of color. Its mission is to meet the needs of all women, particularly Black women,
by offering results-driven, toxin-free beauty products in a diverse range of shades.
LUV + CO. products are cruelty-free,
formulated with a high percentage of organic ingredients, and based on a foundation of communicating and celebrating care
for self and others.
Business professor Melodie Ray Davis-Bundrage, Ph.D. created LUV + CO. after learning in her dissertation research that other
women interested in clean, safe beauty lacked inclusive options. She applied her experience as a former makeup artist to begin
formulating mineral makeup and color cosmetics, initially focusing on creating clean foundation formulas designed to match the
skin tones of women of color. Over time, LUV + CO. has expanded to include a full range of face, eye, lip, and nail products,
all of which are PETA-certified cruelty-free and free from parabens, carcinogens, and other toxins.
From LUV + CO.:
“It is our hope that you join the #luvtribe, a community of LUV + CO. partners and customers that understand the importance of
clean beauty products in all categories and desire for the industry to show ‘LUV’ to those of us who have historically been overlooked,
unheard, or deemed unworthy of safe, quality cosmetics.”
All Luv + Co. products are:
-
Free from toxins, parabens, and carcinogens, in a diverse range of shades
-
PETA certified cruelty-free
