In an industry where Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) entrepreneurs often encounter barriers, LAMIK Beauty is a trailblazer.
Participating in initiatives like the “Clean Beauty Summer School,” hosted by makeup brand Tower 28, shows that LAMIK supports innovation and diversity. The school is a resourceful program that helps BIPOC beauty founders get past their challenges and break into the mainstream.
Clean Beauty Summer School: A Path to Success
Cosmetic Executive Women Daily (CEW) highlights the “Clean Beauty Summer School” as an exclusive program aimed at providing BIPOC beauty innovators with all the essential skills and competencies necessary for successful participation in the fast-growing beauty industry. LAMIK gained recognition as 1 of 10 finalists in the program in 2022 by combining product design, sales promotion, and brand management with a one-of-a-kind approach.
Every year people wait with bated breath until the official announcement of the “Clean Beauty Summer School” winner. BIPOCs get the mentorship they need to get over hurdles and seize opportunities to thrive in the makeup sector. The program's popularity is infectious because of its support of talented BIPOC entrepreneurs like LAMIK.
LAMIK Beauty's visionary, Kim Roxie, believes in being about more than just makeup. Her vision includes a space where BIPOC beauty founders learn, grow, and succeed. LAMIK embodies this vision and provides an environment that supports women of color in beauty. The environment is a place of mentorship with opportunities to connect with experts in the industry.
Empowering BIPOC Beauty Founders
Supporting and empowering BIPOC beauty founders is beneficial for building a more inclusive and representative beauty industry. BIPOC entrepreneurs succeed when they have the tools to do so. This enriches their lives and others in the community by contributing to a diverse marketplace. Imagine a world where everyone sees themselves reflected in the beauty products they use.
Backing BIPOC beauty founders not only promotes fairness but fosters innovation, which is what LAMIK is all about. People from diverse backgrounds have different needs for their skin. A broader range of products caters to various skin tones, hair types, and cultural preferences. LAMIK understands that a one-size-fits-all ideal does not work in the beauty industry.
This does not only pertain to makeup or skincare. It concerns representation and equality. It is about opening doors for future generations of entrepreneurs who deserve a chance to shine. LAMIK Beauty has gained much-deserved recognition within the beauty industry because of this and has been spotlighted by renowned organizations, such as CEW.
More Than Makeup: LAMIK's Commitment to Community
LAMIK Beauty's dedication to supporting BIPOC beauty founders extends beyond mentorship. The brand commits to taking care of the planet within its operations. One example is how LAMIK only uses clean, non-toxic ingredients in its products. The company leans into the growing demand for skincare and makeup that is safe and beneficial for all skin types.
LAMIK Beauty also actively collaborates with organizations and individuals who share its vision for a more inclusive beauty industry. By creating partnerships and amplifying the voices of BIPOC beauty entrepreneurs, the brand contributes to a more diverse and representative landscape within the beauty community and paves the way for a more inclusive and equitable beauty industry, one that reflects the richness of diversity and empowers individuals to pursue their dreams in the world of beauty.
