Although there was a big push nearly a year ago to support black-owned brands, it’s important to continue to keep that energy on high. While there is much more work to be done, so much progress has been made since then - and more independent black-owned brands are popping up in major retailers like Sephora, Net-a-Porter, Saks Fifth Avenue, Amazon, and Nordstrom as a result.

On our list of faves for Mother's Day gifts: The Liha Goddess Set, Stella Jean's multicolored skirt, Grace Eleyae's silk pillowcases, and more

And for good reason. The products we’ve seen and tried out are incredible - from luxe CBD soaks to dreamy dresses, luxury heels, cooking tools, and more. And there are so many good options for moms-to-be and moms of any age. 

Take a peek at some of our favorite beauty and fashion gifts for moms from black-owned businesses we love. 

Liha Ase’ Goddess Set

Liha is known for its luxe, aromatic oils and this set was inspired by the Yoruba tradition of crafting oils and lotions from natural flora. It includes three rollerballs named after three earth goddesses in West African culture - Yemoja, Oya, and Oshun. Frankincense-infused Yemoja is designed to calm the senses, Oya is a pick-me-up with grapefruit and rosemary notes, and Oshun is calming, with its notes of orange and jasmine.

Oprah Winfrey swears by this hair-protecting brand that helps you protect your hair with chic accessories. One of our favorites for moms for spring and summer is the brand’s luxe silk pillowcases. They're dermatologist-approved and hypoallergenic, and help prevent sleep lines by eliminating pulling and tugging on your skin. The pillowcases also help reduce the occurrence of bedhead. 

We also love Grace Eleyae's white Venice Satin-Lined Straw Hat. It’s lined with high-quality charmeuse satin, and it’s light and breathable for warmer days ahead. Don’t miss the brand’s satin eye masks, silk turbans, and headbands too, for more cute combo gift ideas.

Motsi Beauty Collection's organic beauty collection

Motsi’s beauty collection is a great find for moms who love a good self-care day and swear by natural and organic beauty products. All of the products in the collection are vegan, paraben, sulfate, and silicone-free. The brand’s star is its CC Serum with Vitamin C that instantly brightens skin and reduces the appearance of age spots, blemishes, and redness. It’s so good that it’s already sold out, so we recommend scooping up a different stellar product or two for your mom if it’s not back in stock soon.

Motsi’s fans also rave about their Cucumber Herbal Eye Gel, which helps decrease the appearance of dark circles and puffiness around the eyes, and the Detoxifying Charcoal Mask, which leaves skin smooth, naturally exfoliated and enriched.
