Melanin Rich Tones: Kokanni Cosmetics

Kokanni Cosmetics

No shade, but it is time to start shifting our dollars to the black beauty market, if you are a melanated queen. Spend less on fully processed retail brands (big box) and more on natural black owned brands (direct to consumer). Allow us to introduce you to Kokanni Cosmetics, a luxury skincare line, created by Karen Iyere. Who is Karen? She is a double certified Nurse Practitioner that just so happens to have a passion for beauty and its complexities on melanin rich tones. As a Howard alumni, you really cannot expect anything less from this founder. Not only did she graduate from The prestigious Howard, but she is also the offspring of Nigerian immigrants that instilled into her the importance of hard work and creating and building your own legacy.

…but lets get back to the brand! Here are our reasons on why YOU should shop Kokanni:
