Haircare is Healthcare

Sienna Naturals understands the complexities of the haircare industry. We're committed to addressing the negative health impacts caused by toxic beauty products targeted toward textured hair consumers.

Our Mission

The cosmetics industry has historically overlooked the health concerns of textured hair consumers, specifically Black women leading to disproportionate negative health impacts from toxic ingredients in everyday beauty products.

From ingredients that jeopardize health to beauty standards affecting mental health, we refuse to continue that standard. We are committed to revolutionizing the industry by providing clean formulations that prioritize the health and well-being of our community.

Sienna Naturals Rooted in Care Fund partners with organizations focused on women's health and well-being to drive systemic change, creating lasting impact that prioritizes the health and empowerment of everyone.

Together we can

  • Advocate for safer beauty standards
  • Increase access to clean cosmetics
  • Reduce health disparities related to exposure to toxic beauty products
  • Enhance overall well-being and empowerment
  • Transform of the cosmetics industry towards cleaner, safer, and more equitable practices.
