Brown Skin Beauty
Brown skin has often been neglected in the beauty industry. They offer us standard, non-specific beauty products that do not consider our specific skin colour and needs.
The Struggle of Brown Skin
For centuries, the world has been run by a beauty ideal that prescribes a single standard of beauty as the only acceptable one.
Brown women are often ignored when it comes to skincare but it does not mean that we are any less beautiful.
People with brown skin comprise more than half of the total population of the earth and yet brown skin is the most under-served segment in the skincare space. From pigmentation to textural issues such as roughness and dehydration, brown skin doesn't get the love and attention it deserves.
Until now, we have faced an industry that only makes skin-lightening products, even if you don’t want to lighten your skin.
Prioritising Brown Skin
We are told that dark is not beautiful, but our founder refused to accept this.
Over 200 years of colonization by the West has left brown skin with a damaged moisture barrier. We repair your moisture barrier.
We challenge the assumption that dark is not beautiful by giving dark-skinned women what they so desperately need. This revolutionary skincare brand was created for brown women as a way to fight against this societal lie.
The time has come to make skincare for brown women finally a priority.
Nurturing Brown Beauty
Imagine, a skincare brand made exclusively for brown skin which nurtures it with natural ingredients, so your skin is richly hydrated, nourished and full of life. While radiating a natural glow and looking healthier than ever!
This is what Adarci offers - an exclusive skincare range with the highest quality of organic plant actives, therapeutic essential oils, micronutrients, trace minerals, vitamins and omegas from the most nutrient dense botanical sources from around the world for brown women who see themselves as equally beautiful and worthy, and who want to enjoy an effortless experience of a deep connection with their authentic beauty.
Adarci is the only luxury skincare brand designed for brown women and the unique properties of brown skin.
Adarci was founded by a brown woman who has spent years studying how to enhance and improve the beauty of brown skin and the self-love of brown women. We know it works because our customers have been loving it for years.
Founded by a woman of colour, for women of colour.
Brown Skin is Unique
The data on the structural and functional differences in ethnic skin is incredibly limited. From what has been studied so far, we know that brown skin differs from white skin in some very significant ways.
De-hydrated & Dry Skin
Darker the skin, the lower the ceramide levels, resulting in a greater need for hydration.
Ceramides are natural components of skin that helping the skin’s protective layer which limits moisture loss. Brown skin contains lower levels of ceramides and is therefore more prone to dryness.
Adarci's Intrinsic Glow Moisturiser and Awakening Eye Cream are specifically formulated to replenish what the skin naturally needs, filled to the brim with antioxidants and replenishing ingredients, which helps skin to stay ultra-hydrated, without moisture loss.
Oily Skin, Spots and Acne
Dark skin has increased pore size and sebum secretion which can lead to oily skin, clogged pores and spots. Studies have shown that those with dark skin get more inflammation, scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation than Caucasians.
Brown women often suffer more from conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) which causes skin to suffer from breakouts more.
Adarci skincare is formulated to reduce the appearance of pore size and balances sebum production.
Our Rich Clarity Cleanser is anti-inflammatory and will prevent breakouts (spots), as well as calming angry red skin. It also promotes balanced Cell-Microbe interaction, which balances sebum production (reduces oily skin) and so helps the prevention of skin conditions like Acne.
The Radiance Enhancing Exfoliator removes dead skin, minimises the appearance pores and unclogs pores. In addition, it stimulates cell renewal, reduces blemishes and brightens skin.
Adarci’s Ultimate Rejuvenating Serum firms, soothes and hydrates skin whilst stimulating an even skin tone. It also reduces brown spots and pigmentation caused by sun damage and helps to reduce the appearance of skin scarring.
Hyperpigmentation: Dark Spots and Uneven Tone
Hyperpigmentation (commonly referred to as melasma) is the appearance of dark spots and uneven tone on darker skin. Hyperpigmentation usually appears on the cheeks, bridge of the nose, forehead and upper lip.
Whilst lighter skin also can have issues with hyperpigmentation, it is particularly difficult to resolve in brown, melanin-rich skin. Any trauma to the skin leads to excess melanin, which causes post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Adarci’s Ultimate Rejuvenating Serum reduces dark spots and pigmentation as well as stimulating an even skin tone and radiance. In addition, the serum visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles, promotes ageing-well and silky-soft skin.
Our Radiance Enhancing Exfoliator reduces blemishes, removes dead skin and grime, unclogs pores and stimulates cell renewal whilst naturally boosting collagen in the skin.
Dark Under-Eye Circles
Brown women, especially South Asian and Mediterranean women, are more prone to dark under-eye circles (periorbital melanosis).
The skin under the eye is impacted by hormonal changes in women and further darkens with age. The condition can be addressed by reducing the appearance of the dark circles.
Adarci’s Awakening Eye Cream banishes dark circles, targets dark spots and reduces pigmentation. In addition, it firms and plumps the eye contour, reduces puffiness and brightens up the skin around the eye, as well as regenerating skin, visibly reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improving the overall skin quality.
Sensitive Skin
Several studies indicate that brown skin maybe more sensitive to synthetic chemicals, which is why natural skincare is important for brown skin.
The Adarci range is formulated using bio-organic plant actives and therapeutic essential oils that heal and protect our skin. We use a blend of micro-nutrients, trace minerals, vitamins and omegas - carefully selected for their benefits to skin and their ability to restore balance. Adarci skincare is vegan, organic, cruelty-free.
Compact Skin Structure
Darker skin has a more compact skin structure, making it less penetrable.
Brown skin therefore requires greater levels of nutrition, which most others skincare products aren't formulated for.
The Adarci range is specially formulated with over 40 powerful, high-concentration nutrient dense plant actives and oils from around the world to ensure you have the nutrients your skin needs.
The Adarci Range
Adarci's range of luxury skincare products help brown women reduce hyper-pigmentation, fade acne scars, improve dryness and keep your skin feeling supple.
Our vegan high-performance, clinically proven range of organic products rich in anti-oxidants so powerful that they can help ageing well over time and even help with hyperpigmentation, dehydration, scarring, breakouts and other skin concerns.
