While working behind the scenes in the fashion industry, Alicia Scott noticed that models of color would show up to shoots with their own makeup due to the lack of shades available. Noticing her own limited collection for her sensitive skin, Scott created RANGE Beauty— an affordable, high-performance, clean beauty line for forgotten shades, designed to appeal to a broad range of melanin-enriched skin tones. RANGE currently offers foundation in 21 shades and 3-4 undertone options that nourish the skin with wear.
RANGE is different because I truly want to make clean beauty for people of color accessible. I am my customer, so transparency and really giving customers a great product is important to me. EWG completed a study that revealed beauty products marketed specifically towards Black women contain two times more toxic ingredients than other groups. There needs to be more clean alternatives in the market and I want to really push that forward. As far as our specific products, we are unique in that they are dual makeup/skincare that actually nourishes your skin with wear instead of causing damage.
Let us continue to support these positive industry changes as we aim for better representation and normalization of diverse skin types and needs.
