Imagine a marketplace where 46 Black artisans come together, united by twin passions: celebrating the African diaspora and embracing sustainable living.
This is BLK + GRN, an all-natural marketplace that’s transforming how we think about wellness products.
At its core, BLK + GRN’s mission is simple yet powerful: connecting Black families with carefully curated, chemical-free products while fostering a holistic approach to community wellness. Their diverse collection spans everything from hair and skin care to home goods and wellness products, each item crafted with intention and care.
The marketplace features a thoughtfully curated selection of artisans, each bringing their unique vision to the table. Take Debra Raney, founder of Little Muffincakes, who creates clothing featuring positive representations of Black children. Or consider Nydia Norville, whose brand Choiselle offers coconut wax candles as a healthy alternative to traditional scented varieties.
Quality control is paramount at BLK + GRN.
Every product undergoes rigorous testing and must score below five on the toxicity scale to earn a place in their marketplace. As part of their commitment to holistic wellness, they provide educational resources, including a comprehensive list of twenty chemicals and ingredients to avoid in everyday products.
What sets BLK + GRN apart isn’t just their product selection – it’s their commitment to economic empowerment. Through their affiliate and artisan programs, they’re creating opportunities for Black entrepreneurs while ensuring consumers have access to clean, safe products at competitive prices.
Their website reflects their values: bright, welcoming, and filled with inspiring images of Black women making positive changes in their communities.
It’s more than just a marketplace; it’s a testament to their motto: “never bring in junk – only joy.”
Whether you’re a conscious consumer seeking healthy alternatives or an innovator with a vision for clean living, BLK + GRN offers a marketplace where wellness, community, and Black entrepreneurship converge.
