Meet Khadidja Toure, the biomedical engineer turned entrepreneur, whose beauty products will make your skin glow

Buying from Black-owned businesses year-round is super important, and it’s just one way that you can show solidarity for the Black community. I recently discovered one beauty brand that you should definitely consider adding to your list of businesses to support.

Kubra Kay is a line of moisturizers and tools that are vegan and cruelty-free. Founded by biomedical engineer turned entrepreneur Khadidja Toure, this skincare brand contains natural ingredients that will keep your complexion healthy and glowing.

Toure’s love of beauty started at a young age when her mom and aunts would share their beauty
remedies using all-natural ingredients. “I always smelled like cocoa butter or shea butter in the kitchen,” she says.

Once she started having acne breakouts, Toure began focusing more on her skin. She explains, “I was just so frustrated because I was trying out products for two years, and I went to a dermatologist and I just wasn't getting the results that I wanted.”

She took a new approach by closely examining the labels of her skincare products. Toure also traveled for her engineering job to different countries, and those experiences led her to discover amazing new natural ingredients.

“I would go to these small villages and learn about the different ingredients that they would use in skincare,” she says. She soon launched Kubra Kay, as she felt like she was called to do this, and “give people the confidence that I feel like I didn't have.”

Toure wants people to treat Kubra Kay as “a community,” where we all “grow up together” while improving the wellness of our skin.
