Thirteen Lune

thirteen lune is a destination designed to inspire the discovery of beauty brands created by Black and Brown founders that resonate with people of all colors. It reframes how Black and Brown beauty brands are perceived not only from an industry perspective, but also for the consumer giving each brand a platform to educate and engage a wider audience.

This is a celebration of beauty and community that brings together luxurious and efficacious products for the face, hair and body that uplift Black and Brown brands while honoring and highlighting the individual stories of the creators

We are a vehicle for change creating a space for authentic allyship and taking inclusiveness to a new level. thirteen lune invites non-Black and Brown owned brands that want to expand their market and join the inclusive beauty conversation in a meaningful way that unites beauty sectors in a way that has never been done before.

Founded by entrepreneur and 20+ year beauty veteran, Nyakio Grieco, and entrepreneur and fashion industry veteran, Patrick Herning.

Thirteen Lune initially launched with 13 brands and we’ve quickly grown to a family of 177! But even as we expand and bring on allies who are committed to helping our mission, we will always be home to majority BIPOC founded brands. #thebeautyofinclusion

Thank you, InStyle and editor @Kara Jillian Brown for highlighting this vital conversation around inclusivity and funding in the beauty industry. 🌟

Funding for Black-owned brands has dropped since 2020. This decline is a stark reminder that we must continue to support and uplift our community. Without adequate funding, there's no sustainable path to growth and innovation. 🖤💪🏾 thirteen lune
