8 Latinx-Owned Clean Beauty Brands to Switch to ASAP

After spending years trying to find an ideal body care product that would make her skin look as great as it does in the Caribbean, Julissa Bermudez decided to take matters into her own hands and founded República, a clean beauty brand inspired by her roots in the Dominican Republic. The Sugar Body Polish ($42), a hallmark of the brand, is formulated with moisturizing ingredients, like macadamia oil and squalane, that nourish the skin. It also gently exfoliates with organic cane sugar. Many of the ingredients are sourced overseas, directly from the DR, as part of the brand's commitment to authenticity.
