International Women’s Day — Support Indie Beauty Brands Founded & Run By Women

March 8 is International Women’s Day, and although shopping is generally discouraged by the organizers, we think you are welcome to support women and their business ventures. Shop small by supporting some of our favorite beauty brands founded and owned by women.

On this International Women’s Day, be a woman who supports another woman. These beauty brands have female founders and owners and we love their products and the message they stand for.
