Bolden is on a Mission To Change The Way We Care For our Skin

Bolden is a Black-owned skincare brand on a mission to embolden women around the world by celebrating their natural beauty.

Founders, Chinelo and Ndidi originally met as high school classmates in Nigeria but lost touch after Ndidi switched schools. Little did they know how their paths would cross again and culminate in becoming not only business partners but sisters-in-law.

Using the best ingredients to create the most effective formulations, their goal is to create a sense of empowerment, confidence, and pride among all women. Believing that true beauty comes from feeling good in your own skin, they named their brand Bolden from the word embolden.

We caught up with them to find out more about their business.

What inspired you to start your business?

The aha moment for Chinelo and Ndidi happened after a bad sunscreen experience while on vacation in Key West, Florida. The resulting frustration presented a problem solving opportunity for the lifelong beauty enthusiasts.
Both with MBA’s, Ndidi’s from MIT and Chinelo’s is from the University of Maryland, they created a brand that would represent women that looked like them in terms of product selection, images, and messaging about our beautiful skin.

What makes your products unique?

How did you raise funding for your business?
