About Us

Created With Science. Tested in the Real World.

We didn’t want our products to just be backed by science. They needed to be backed by the amazing shades they’re made for, too.

MELÉ is a collective effort: co-created with dermatologists of color and a community of melanin-rich beauty experts who helped make MELÉ what it is today.

Influencers

Teaming up with editorial experts, we committed to bringing more diversity into the  industry - starting with consulting a wide range of beauty influencers. They wanted products that didn’t  just treat all skin the same but addressed the specific needs of melanin-rich skin.  Skincare that tackled hyper-pigmentation, acne scarring, sun protection - celebrating the beauty of melanin-rich skin, in all its shades.

But we didn’t stop there. We needed to make sure it worked for real folks with real skin concerns...

Our Community Lab

From the beginning, we regularly shared ideas, concepts, products,  advertisements, product names, and pack designs for feedback and input with the melanin-rich  community. We received hundred of pieces of input and video footage of the community trying and  reviewing our products. All of this input on every single product helped us ensure we were always putting the magic in your skin first.
