Summary

This week we’re chatting with our dear friend, Nyakio Grieco, the founder of the namesake beauty line, Nyakio Beauty, and most recently, Thirteen Lune, an e-commerce platform dedicated to the discovery of Black and Brown-founded brands. We talk about formulating for melanin-rich skin and changing the narrative in beauty. Nyakio shares how she turned her pain into purpose, and we bond over the power of girlfriends. Tune in to learn about at-home chemical peels, the key to combating oily skin, and the importance of honoring the traditions behind ingredients.
