9 Black-Owned Health and Wellness Brands You Need to Follow on TikTok

It’s safe to say TikTok has a hold on all of us. The social media app of choice for Gen Zers was the most downloaded app in 2020. Besides introducing me to Dua Lipa (I know…), the app has helped me find so many amazing Black-owned health and wellness brands that I may have never heard of.

But even though the health and wellness spa industry reached a market size of $18 billion in the U.S. in 2020, BIPOC-owned wellness businesses are rarely acknowledged, as the face of the wellness industry is undoubtedly white. It can be hard to find Black-owned health and wellness businesses to support, but apps like TikTok make it easier.

To help, I’ve gathered a few of the most amazing Black wellness and health businesses and brands I have found after hours of procrastination research for you to follow. If you want to find more, make sure to follow the #BlackOwnedBusiness hashtag, and don’t forget: support small businesses, support women-owned businesses, and support Black-owned businesses.
