INMYHEALS is a luxury, all-natural bath & body company dedicated to inspiring moments of retreat. We handmake bath, body and lifestyle products that turn your everyday routines into moments of luxury and intention. We don’t just provide products - We provide an experience. Luxury + Intention Intentional care is at the core of who we are and what we do – that is what drives every aspect of our products and the community we serve. We incorporate Luxury in two ways – first, in how we deliver the message of intentional care. Secondly, we believe that Luxury begins with us – this is how we encourage each other and customers to regard ourselves. We believe that our bodies are temples, because we were fearfully and wonderfully made in the Image of God: “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God?” - 1 Corinthians 6:19 "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.” - Psalms 139:13-15

We are based in Philadelphia, PA and ship nationwide. This phase of  our store is online, and only features  shelf-stable food items, and household products supplied by BIPOC-owned companies that can be delivered directly to customers. In 2021 we will begin shipping perishable products as well! All brands included on the platform are carefully selected and curated to uphold quality standards and appropriate product category distribution. We are creating a platform that will empower consumers to strategically shop exclusively with BIPOC owned brands, and establish a lasting partnership with suppliers.   This is a key way for under-represented communities to keep resources "flowing," create jobs, and reclaim their stake in the food industry.

My name is LaTanya Lodge. I am a Licensed Cosmetologist with a passion for hair and healthy. When I embarked on my journey to a healthy hair regimen I knew nothing of what I was doing, so I began to research and learn about the science of hair and what our hair needs to be healthy, nourished and strong. In my research as I began to see the ingredient in some of the products marketed to this with natural hair, I became concerned and began formulating my own products, that yield healthy growing hair, using all natural and safe products. The difference in my company is that we do not only offer you all natural and safe products, but we offer you a regimen that comes with each of our bundle packages. These regimens have bee hand crafted by a Licensed cosmetologist and now with the new release of our reference planner, you can have guidance for 365 days. We take the guesswork out of a healthy hair care regimen and give you a roadmap from beginning to end for success.

My name is Tope Adubi, the founder of Kilali Cosmetics. Kilali Cosmetics was launched in the US in February 2020 with a goal is to create inclusive quality makeup while infusing the knowledge of Africa and sharing the beauty that lies within the different 54 countries on the continent. I recognize the existing gap in the beauty industry and realize more hands need to be on deck to bridge this gap in an affordable and effective manner by providing makeup for the underserved in the industry. This is my inspiration behind this business. A key thing that makes us stand out in our business is the platform to enlighten our customers about Africa. We take this to heart by ensuring the ingredients used, our product names tie back to Africa. My core strength is in Digital Marketing. I worked at Africa's largest organization for empowering African entrepreneurs, Tony Elumelu Foundation, where I had the core responsibility of managing the online presence for the brand across social media, email marketing, website management, graphics design and digital media ads. In addition to my digital marketing skill, I possess leadership skills that have helped me through the launch of my business from working with different contract staff at different stages through product development, sales and marketing.

Christina Funke Tegbe is the founder and visionary behind 54 Thrones. She has created an African luxury beauty brand inspired by the richness of the continent. As a child, Tegbe's Nigerian aunties indulged her. She knew about shea butter benefits for hair and skin from a tender age. The ingenuity and innovation across the motherland also moved her. Thus, she answered the call to share Africa with the world. In 2016, she left a career in corporate consulting to launch her beauty brand. The brand uses only ingredients ethically sourced and grown on African soil. This luxury beauty collection pays homage to African culture, elegance, and essence. The company sources its shea butter from Ghana and Uganda, baobab oil from Nigeria, and argan oil from Morocco. She also sources marula from South Africa and jasmine and neroli from Egypt. These active botanical ingredients lay the foundation for 54 Thrones' beauty formulas. Finally, a Black-owned beauty brand by a Black woman and made with ingredients from Black-owned sources!

Dr. Anne Beal created AbsoluteJOI, a black-owned business offering effective skincare routines. It is one of the few black-owned skincare brands that deliver renewed radiance and restores a healthy balance. Dr. Beal started this business to help her daughters, who needed to cut through the clutter of ineffective products to get to what works best for their skin. They were on the lookout for products to treat hyperpigmentation. They also needed help with anti-aging. They knew they needed something different for their brown skin because their issues weren't "fine lines and wrinkles," but dark marks and uneven tone. They wanted to have a practical, straightforward approach to skincare. AbsoluteJOI gave them that and much more. The company continues its mission, helping other users find products designed for their skin.

Addictive Apothecary is a family-based black-owned business. Owner Millicent Richardson created it because her daughter wanted more mommy-daughter time, and she asked if they could make candles together. Richardson was always buying candles and was often unhappy with them. Much research went into learning the process of candle making. The newly-minted African American business owner also had to find quality suppliers in order to ensure that her candles were several notches above others on the market. The mommy-daughter team started giving the candles away as gifts, then the pair took to selling them at their local flea market for fun. The candles soon came into high demand. Friends and family members began to place orders for gifts. Then it appeared that the word was getting about their candles. The rave started, and Addictive Apothecary was born. The company has expanded, and now sells body-care products as well.
