Innovation

Pioneering melanin-focused skincare since the 1980s, we continue to innovate targeted solutions for radiant, healthy skin.

 Clear Essence Cosmetics was one of the first skincare brands created by and for people of color. In the late 1980s, we began formulating products from FDA-approved ingredients to address the specific skincare needs of ethnic people. Before ‘melanin’ became a household term, we started creating products that targeted melanin and its impacts on complexion. Our products were among the first to treat hyper-pigmentation, dark spots and excessive dryness. Once a trailblazer, always a trailblazer. Stay up to date on how we continue to innovate.
