The best Black-owned bath and body products aren't coming from big-box shelves — they're coming from small-batch makers working with shea, hemp seed oil, wildflower honey, and recipes passed down through families. This guide covers the Black-owned wellness brands on YAM Marketplace: what each one makes, what it costs, and where to start.
Krém au Krém — Haitian-Inspired Body Care
Krém au Krém makes handmade body care rooted in Haitian tradition — you'll see it in the Kreyòl names like Siwo Myèl (honey) and Sitwonèl (lemongrass) across the line.
- Whipped Body & Hair Butter — from $16. The flagship: an all-natural whipped butter for dry and sensitive skin, in scents from Honey & Shea to Krèm Kokoye (coconut cream). Start here.
- Doulè Hemp Body Butter — from $20. A hemp seed oil–infused body butter in lavender-eucalyptus and lemon-eucalyptus, designed as a natural topical for sore muscles.
- Hair & Body Moisturizing Oil — from $12.80. A lightweight, non-greasy blend of 10 natural oils, in scents like Vaniy Kannél (cinnamon vanilla).
- Natural Exfoliating Body Scrub — $25. Including the Lavand Siwo Myèl honey-lavender blend.
- Natural Organic Savons — $10. Handmade organic hair-and-body bars, lemongrass or peppermint–tea tree.
SIROBÈ — Botanical Skincare Systems
SIROBÈ builds simple three-step routines around botanical hydrosols, matched to your skin type — strawberry for combination skin, goat's milk for dry, cucumber for oily.
- "Power of Three" Skincare Bundle — from $115. The complete cleanser-toner-moisturizer routine, matched to skin type. The Petit Trois minis ($40) let you try the system first.
- "Ro-Z" Rose Pore Minimizing Toner — $32. Rose water clarity, centuries-old and still right.
- "Currantly Trending" Night Serum — $40. Black currant seed oil to fight acne and strengthen the skin barrier overnight.
Lakay Goods — Haitian Teas & Pantry Wellness
Lakay Goods imports single-origin wellness staples directly from Haiti — loose-leaf teas, raw cacao, and pantry treasures you won't find in a grocery store.
- Chokola | Haitian Raw Chocolate — $18. Bold, earthy single-origin cacao, grown and harvested in Haiti.
- Tea and Honey Bundle — $32. A loose-leaf blend paired with honey — the easy gift option.
- Glass Tea Infuser — $12. The reusable upgrade for loose-leaf drinkers.
Alaffia — Fair-Trade African Black Soap
Authentic African Black Soap All-In-One, Peppermint 16 oz — $11.59. A fair-trade, multi-use classic — body wash, face wash, shampoo, and shave in one bottle — and one of the least expensive ways to add a Black-owned staple to your routine.
How to Build a Routine From This List
For skin: cleanse with Alaffia black soap or a SIROBÈ cleanser for your skin type, then seal in moisture with Krém au Krém's whipped butter. For recovery days: the Doulè hemp butter on sore muscles and a cup of Lakay tea. For gifting: the Tea and Honey Bundle plus a $10 savon reads far more thoughtful than its price.
