In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta Yadav speaks with Dr. Abhijit and Dr. Gauri Desai, the founders of Brownkind, a skincare brand designed specifically for melanin-rich skin. With years of experience in dermatology and pathology, the duo highlights the unique skincare needs of people of color and the gaps in the industry. They discuss how mainstream products often overlook concerns like hyperpigmentation, uneven tone, and dullness, which are the first signs of aging for darker skin tones, rather than wrinkles.

The Desais' share their journey of creating Brownkind, a brand that empowers people of color to embrace their natural skin tone. They explain the science behind their products, like the Even Tone Defender Formula with Indian gooseberry and rainbow algae, which target hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. The conversation also addresses misconceptions around oiliness in melanin-rich skin and the importance of lightweight, hydrating formulas. The founders emphasize their commitment to creating sun protection products, like their game-changing SPF, formulated to meet the specific needs of darker skin without leaving a white cast.

Brownkind's mission is to educate and provide effective skincare solutions for melanin-rich skin, focusing on skin health rather than skin lightening.
