Now that summer is here and in full effect, it’s a good time for rest and a healthy reset by rethinking your self-care routine and elevating it with helpful Black-owned wellness products that help you prioritize and center yourself with the care you may need.
Practicing active self-care is all about identifying what your mind, body, and spirit need in the moment and carving out ample time to commit to a wellness routine that’s fulfilling and nourishing.
A surefire way to curate an impactful self-care routine is to invest in quality wellness products. From nourishing tea to gentle feminine products and body-care items, we have you covered.
Adjourn Teahouse
Adjourn Teahouse is an artisanal loose-leaf tea company and wellness brand that offers luxury, hand-blended teas featuring ingredients sustainably sourced worldwide. Founder Latonia’s goal is to provide customers with a unique tea experience – one designed to engage each of their senses. Each blend is a mindfully curated combination of fresh, all-natural herbs, carefully sourced full leaf teas, freshly dried fruits, and aromatic spices. We encourage you to try their take on a chai tea, Afro Blue. It’s a beautiful blend of white peony tea, lemongrass, and warming chai spices.
Honey Pot
While we all know and love Honey Pot for their gentle, feminine washes, they also offer a wide array of sexual wellness products if you’re interested in incorporating some intimate “me time” into your self-care routine. We recommend their Organic Agave Moisturizing Lubricant.
Homebody
Sometimes you just need a nice, good bath to rest, release, and rejuvenate yourself after a long day, week, or month. Homebody’s diverse offerings of holistic bath soaks will easily calm your nervous system. From a mood-brightening blend of magnesium and citrus adaptogens to plant antioxidants, formulated to balance cortisol levels and restore inner coherence. Try their Soak Edit, which includes three full-size soaks — I Rose Above It, Full Spectrum of Possibilities, and The Future Is Green.
Supergut
One of the best ways to establish peace is to have a settled gut. Supergut, founded by Marc Washington, is a gut-health and functional-nutrition company that produces prebiotic fiber supplements, shakes, and snack bars. Their formulas utilize resistant starches and beta-glucans to nourish beneficial gut bacteria, reduce bloating, and balance blood sugar.
Xula
Xula Herbs was co-founded by Karina Primelles and Mennlay Golokeh Aggrey. The plant-based botanical and CBD brand creates hemp and adaptogenic formulas designed to support womb health, hormonal balance, and overall wellness. To address stress and enhance your focus, try their Calm + Clarity Herbal + Hemp drops & gels.
BÜHNE NOIR
Founded by actress Novi Brown, BÜHNE NOIR is a luxury organic fragrance and skincare brand inspired by her wellness and skin journey, as the toxin-free line is designed for sensitive skin. Her “Act I” collection includes a luxe Body Elixir and an alcohol-free Couture Fragrance featuring notes of vanilla, sandalwood, and Barcelona floral.
