OUR MISSION
Why Melanin
In Balance Exists
WHAT WE DO
At Melanin in Balance, we are on a mission to educate, protect, and empower Black women and girls by exposing the hidden dangers in everyday beauty products—especially those containing endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). These toxins are disproportionately present in products marketed to us, contributing to serious reproductive health issues like fibroids, PCOS, and infertility.
