Addressing a Gap in the Market
Patrice Chappelle, a serial entrepreneur and mother, has joined forces with her 13-year-old son, Bron Echols, to launch MelanBrand Skin, LLC – a groundbreaking skincare company catering specifically to the needs of Black and brown children.
Recognizing a void in the market for natural and safe skincare products tailored for melanated skin, Chappelle and her son have taken matters into their own hands, creating a brand that celebrates diversity and prioritizes the well-being of young individuals with diverse skin tones.
A Mother-Son Partnership
In a unique and inspiring partnership, Chappelle and Bron have embarked on this entrepreneurial journey together, co-founding MelanBrand Skin and serving as Co-CEOs.
This dynamic duo aims to redefine the skincare industry by offering solutions tailored to the unique needs of Black and brown children.
Chappelle, a published author and freelance writer, brings her wealth of experience and entrepreneurial spirit to the table, while Bron, a 7th grader, contributes his fresh perspective and advocacy for healthy skin among BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) youth.
Crafting Natural and Effective Solutions
MelanBrand Skin takes pride in crafting safe and natural skincare solutions that address a wide range of skin concerns, from delicate to challenging conditions like eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, and acne-prone skin.
“We proudly lead the skincare industry with innovation as a groundbreaking skincare company owned and operated by a mother-son duo,” Chappelle shared.
With an unwavering dedication to quality and safety, MelanBrand Skin has emerged as a preferred choice for parents seeking trustworthy and effective skincare products for their little ones.
Empowering the Next Generation
Beyond their business endeavors, Chappelle and Bron have co-authored a children’s book titled “Wash Your ‘T’ and Close Your Eyes: Skincare for BIPOC Children,” set for release soon.
This literary collaboration further solidifies their commitment to empowering the next generation and fostering a culture of healthy skincare practices from an early age.
As the first Black mother-son team to found a skincare company tailored for Black and brown kids, Chappelle and Bron have etched their names in history, paving the way for a more inclusive and representative beauty industry.
A Promising Future Ahead
With their unique partnership, innovative products, and dedication to their mission, Patrice Chappelle and Bron Echols are poised to make a lasting impact on the skincare industry.
Their journey not only addresses a pressing need but also serves as an inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs and advocates for inclusivity.
