Saying Goodbye to 'Bourn Beautiful Naturals' (2017-2022)

As 2022 comes to an end, we want to reflect on all of the progress we have made as a small, Black woman owned business. We started from humble beginnings, five years ago, and are proud of the network we have built to reach our customers.  We started with two simple beliefs that continue to be our guiding principles: Centering the needs and desires of Black women’s hair and skin Building a product range based on the needs of real people By following our belief in the importance of providing black and melanated skin and hair with all-natural nourishment, we were able to win your support and loyalty, as you come to see that the proof of our words was...

It's World Vegan Day! What's the big deal about Vegan Products?

What a Wonderful World Recently we celebrated World Vegan Day. There is a lot of controversy connected to veganism.  However, at its core veganism is a lifestyle choice made by individuals that leans toward more sustainable health and environmental outcomes. Thanks to increasing popularity, there have been more vegan friendly products and goods that have emerged even within the last decade.  The 10 Million Black Vegan Women Movement was launched in 2020 providing some eye opening information about how a vegan lifestyle can benefit Black women specifically.

What is Your Relationship with your Hair?

What is Your Relationship with your Hair?

We believe that our hair does not define us. Rather, our hair is an extension of the self that encourages us to create meaningful rituals around personal expression and self care.  October is both Breast Cancer Awareness Month and BlackHistory Month. We would be remiss if we did not mention one individual whose honesty and awareness empowered an entire generation of Black men and women.

The Carcinogenic Ingredients Hiding in your Bathroom Cabinet

The Carcinogenic Ingredients Hiding in your Bathroom Cabinet

  October is both Black History Month & Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Additionally, products marketed towards Black women contain more toxins than those marketed to other groups. Since Black hair has been misplaced at the center of cross-cultural debates, styles that seek to contain the curl and control the kinks have been popularized over natural and protective hairstyles for well over a...
