Aboriginal-Owned Beauty Brands To Support On Home Soil

Today and always - by Samantha McMeekin

Aboriginal-Owned Beauty Brands To Support On Home Soil

In the days following George Floyd’s death, the worldwide response has been significant. 

And in Australia, it’s been a haunting reminder of the injustice Australia's own Indigenous population has experienced.

Self-educating, reading, listening and donating are the first steps you can take to becoming actively anti-racist; as activist Rachel Cargyle points out, “‘It’s not enough to say, “Oh, I know it’s happening and I hope it gets better,”’ she explained to InStyle. ‘It’s saying, “I see you and I feel you and I understand, and I’m going to hold myself accountable.”‘

Beauty brands across the globe have already taken action, with Glossier pledging $1 million across organisations fighting racial injustice and grants for Black-owned beauty businesses. 

And where we spend our money within the beauty industry can help too. Here are some of the local Aboriginal-owned and operated beauty brands to support, not just today, but forevermore.

Bush Medijina

Bush Medijina operates from Groote Eylandt, and is governed by an all-female board, 80 per cent of which are Indigenous. More than just a brand, Bush Medijina is a program born from the desire of Warningakalina elders, in response to poor health, low school attendance and low employment in the community. The program helps to strengthen values, knowledge, culture, and community wellbeing. Bush Medijina’s lip balms, soaps, balms, body butters and hair care can all be purchased via the website.

Husband and father Michael is a Bundjalung man, and the brand’s name means ‘frog’ in the dialect of the Bundjalung Nation.
