In the ‘By Us Beauty’ series, our editors discuss the hottest Black-owned products in the beauty sphere that you should know about. In this iteration, we discuss our favorite Black-owned launches from March 2026.

Spring always makes me feel renewed. And that’s not only because we are emerging out of seasonal blues, the colder months, or that it’s my birthday season. It also feels like the perfect time to spring clean—beauty products included. And as we toss out, or give away, the old, we’re also making space for the new.

But, you might be wondering what products actually feel worth buying, to commemorate this new season. Shopping Black-owned is always a great place to start, in my humble opinion. And with a new month, came many new products from a slough of our favorite for us, by us brands.

From a dual-sided lip liner to an ultra-luxe body lotion, we break down our top selects below—just in time for your spring beauty refresh.

Good Weather Skin Daily Lip Sun Gloss SPF30 | Ripe Berry

We rub sunscreen on daily, but often forget to protect our lips. With Good Weather Skin’s latest product, you’ll no longer have to leave your pout out of the conversation. It’s a mineral formula with tinted options. And no, you don’t have to worry about it tasting like sunscreen.

Pat McGrath Labs Lip Sculpt + Shade Duo

One thing I’ll never get tired of is lip liner. And this one in particular stopped me in my tracks because it is dual sided—lipstick on one end, and liner on the other.
