50+ Woman-Owned Beauty Brands to Support Now (Cruelty-Free List)

It's not always obvious which brands are woman-owned. This post was inspired by Oubble, who is highlighting woman-owned brands that are also cruelty-free and organic with their subscription box. With Oubble, you can discover samples of safe and natural products from dozens of small-batch brands.

Why Support Woman-Owned Brands?

Particularly in the beauty industry, many top companies are founded or owned by men. This isn't to say that all beauty brands should be owned by women, as all humans have their place in every industry. However, since women are the prime buyers in the space, I do believe that women should have their fair say in the beauty brands that we women purchase -- and what better way of ensuring this than a company led by a woman?

Women are also often less likely to be encouraged to step into leadership or entrepreneurial roles. Only 18 percent of all startups have at least one female founder. I love supporting women who are chasing their dreams while making a positive impact on the world, whether these brands are ethical in their sourcing and manufacturing, giving back to charity, or offer non-toxic products.

More About Oubble

With Oubble, you can sample 5 to 30 products from dozens of organic skincare brands each month. Based on your preferences (favorite scents, skin details) the team will create your perfect, personalized box every month. After testing out the samples, you have the option of purchasing the full-size items and supporting your favorite small businesses.

Beyond just supporting woman-owned brands, you're supporting companies who in turn support their local farms and communities. You're also supporting organic farming, which has benefits such as reducing energy, pollution, and soil erosion.

Finally, since these brands are natural and organic, you're ensuring that the products you use on your largest organ -- the skin -- are safe and non-toxic. Products without synthetic pesticides are also more beneficial to the animals that live near the farms.

My Thoughts After Trying The Box

Oubble sent over one of their boxes for me to try which included several samples as well as 2 full-size products. If you're a fan of natural beauty, this box will be your jam. I loved discovering natural products with amazing scents and non-toxic ingredients, and there's a good variety of samples in the box.

The small-batch handmade Tomato Grapeseed soap I received was top-notch and very moisturizing. Another standout product is the Leaping Bunny certified and baking soda free Deodorant Cream from Little Seed Farm which has activated charcoal.

I hope you've enjoyed this list of woman-owned brands! Don't forget to visit Oubble to take advantage of their Black Friday special if you'd like to support more brands that are natural, cruelty-free, and woman-owned. Follow Oubble on Instagram for monthly giveaways.
