TikTok Shop is becoming a vital growth engine for Black-owned beauty brands, especially as traditional retail support and VC funding dwindle. Here’s what you need to know:
- Funding for Black founders dropped from $4.9B in 2021 to $700M in 2024, causing many Black-owned beauty brands like Sknmuse and Ami Colé to shut down, while others like Deon Libra and Glosshood paused operations.
- TikTok Shop has emerged as a crucial platform for brands like Oui the People ($90K+ in sales since March), LYS Beauty ($5.2M in 12 months), and BeautyStat ($572K in one year), with founders citing low-cost visibility and strong community-building as key benefits.
- Her Fantasy Box, the number-one feminine care brand on TikTok Shop, generated over $19.9M in sales in the past year and surpassed $120M in revenue since launching in 2022, fueled by a creator affiliate strategy and subscription model.
- Canvas Beauty has generated more than $23.6M in TikTok Shop, after shifting from traditional retail (including CVS, Target, and Walmart) to livestream selling, proving the power of personal storytelling and daily content from founder Stormi Steele.
- Retailers like Sephora and Ulta continue supporting founders of color through accelerator programs, but TikTok Shop is filling a gap, partnering with Black Girl Ventures to launch Soar Together, a 6-week program for 20 Black-owned businesses in 2024.
