Healthy skin starts with a routine made for THEM.

Skincare isn’t just for grown-ups. Teaching kids how to care for their skin early helps build healthy habits they can carry with them for years. 🤎

That’s why we created MelanBrand Skin, skincare thoughtfully made with Black & Brown kids and families in mind.

🌿 MelanKids Fresh Face Collection
Cleanse. Tone. Moisturize. Three simple steps for a routine they can actually stick to.

💧 MelanMoisture Collection
Extra hydration for dry, sensitive skin, because the face isn’t the only skin that needs love.

No complicated 10-step routines. Just gentle, intentional skincare made for growing skin. 🙌🏾

Because when they learn to care for their skin early, healthy skin becomes a habit.

Happy Sunday!

Back-to-school season just got a little more moisturized. 🤎✨

We’re so excited to share that our MelanMoisture Extreme Cream was featured by as a Back-to-School Essential! 🎒📚

From early mornings to after-school everything, keeping dry, sensitive skin moisturized deserves a spot in the routine too.

To see a product Bron and I created recognized by ESSENCE is another one of those wow, look at what we’re building moments.

Back to school. Back to routines. MelanMoisture.

It’s official! 🎉 MelanBrand Skin is a Certified Black-Owned Business through ByBlack™️ and the U.S. Black Chambers, Inc. 🖤

For us, this certification is about more than adding another badge to our business. It represents ownership, legacy, and what we’re building together as a mother-son team.

Bron and I started MelanBrand Skin with a vision to create safe, effective skincare made with Black and Brown kids in mind—and we’re proud to continue growing a business that our community can call its own.

During National Black Business Month, we’re especially proud to celebrate this milestone and every Black-owned business out here building, creating, employing, and making room for the next generation.

Certified. Black-Owned. Mother + Son Built.

✈️ FOUNDER SPOTLIGHT: BRON EDITION 🌴 (Again!)

Back-to-school is officially on the horizon, which means summer fun is slowly coming to a close…and business is about to be back in session! 📚💼

But first…one last little check-in from the Dominican Republic! 🇩🇴☀️🌊

Bron has had himself a SUMMER. From Nawlins’ ⚜️ to The A 🍑 to the DR 🇩🇴, our 15-year-old Co-Founder & Co-CEO has been collecting memories, seeing the world, and of course, getting in plenty of plane time. ✈️😂

The Dominican Republic has been GOOD to him, but it’s almost time to head back to the States, get ready for school, and switch gears from vacation mode back to student + CEO mode. 😎

Until then…we’re soaking up these last few moments of summer. 🌴

Next stop: HOME. ✈️🇺🇸 Then it’s back to business.

Listen!!! We do it BIG for the Pink & Green! 💗💚 Skee-Wee, my Sorors! 🩷💚

A BIG order came through from a Graduate Chapter President, and Bron and I got right to work! 📦✨ We’re so grateful for the love, support, and for choosing MelanBrand Skin to be part of something special.

And just a reminder, we do corporate gifting, chapter orders, conferences, special events, and gifting for organizations of all kinds!

Need MelanBrand Skin for your next event or organization? Shoot us a DM! We’d love to put something together for you. 💗

Kinda chic to create what you couldn’t find on the shelf. ✨

We saw the gap in kids’ skincare, so we built what was missing. From an idea between a mother and son to MelanBrand Skin making room on the shelf, that’s kinda chic. 💅🏽

I didn’t have a chemistry degree.

I wasn’t a cosmetic chemist.

But I knew there was a gap in the market, and I knew our kids deserved better options.

So I didn’t let what I didn’t know stop me from building what I knew needed to exist.

I found the experts. I asked questions. I learned the industry. I surrounded myself with people who understood formulation, safety, testing, and skincare science.

And then we built MelanBrand Skin.

Entrepreneurship isn’t about knowing how to do everything yourself. Sometimes it starts with simply being able to see what’s missing, and having enough conviction to do something about it.

I saw the gap.

And instead of waiting for someone else to fill it, we did. 🤎

✈️ FOUNDER SPOTLIGHT: BRON EDITION 🌎

Our Co-Founder & Co-CEO has been OUTSIDE this summer! 😂

From Nawlins’ ⚜️ to The A 🍑… and now he’s getting ready to stamp that passport one more time for a nice, relaxing summer vacation before school starts back in a few weeks. ☀️🌴

If you know Bron, you know this kid LOVES to travel. At just 15, he’s already been blessed to see quite a few places, and there’s not a plane he doesn’t want to see, board, identify, or tell you something about. 😂✈️

Business is a big part of his story, but so is being 15, exploring the world, making memories, and enjoying the ride.

So, where in the world is Bron headed next? 👀🌎

GUESS THE DESTINATION!

Drop your guess in the comments. If you get it right, we’ll slide into your DMs with a $20 gift card! 🎁

Hint: 🏝️☀️🌊

Let’s see who really knows Bron! 👀

(And you know he had to rep his home team among those Braves) 👎🏽

✨ It’s National Black Business Month, so if you’re new here…welcome! 👋🏾

I’m Patrice Chappelle, Co-Founder & Co-CEO of MelanBrand Skin, alongside my son, Bron Echols. Together, we’re building a skincare brand created because we couldn’t find gentle, effective skincare designed with melanated kids in mind.

What started as a solution for my son’s skin has grown into a nationally recognized brand serving families across the country.

A few milestones we’re proud of:
🤎 Featured by CNN, The New York Times, ESSENCE, Parents Magazine, and more
✈️ Became the first kids’ skincare brand featured at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport
🏆 Awarded grants and recognized by organizations supporting high-growth businesses
🐰 Leaping Bunny Certified Cruelty Free and Dermatologist Approved
📚 Co-authors of Wash Your “T” and Close Your Eyes, with another book on the way
🤝 Certified Woman-Owned and Minority-Owned Business

Around here, you’ll find more than skincare.

You’ll get an inside look at the real journey of building a business, from the wins and the lessons to the behind-the-scenes moments, retail milestones, motherhood, and what it takes to build a lasting legacy.

We’re so grateful you’re here and can’t wait to get to know you.
