It feels like there are more beauty brands than there are stars in the sky. But, with Pride month on the calendar, it’s time to discover even more beauty brands, owned by some of the coolest, most inspiring queer founders. While there’s no shortage of Pride-themed beauty drops this month, few things are better than shopping actual Queer-owned brands to directly show your support for the LGBTQ+ community.

Each of these brands has a unique take on what beauty can be and who it should be for. Spoiler alert: It’s everyone! One brand, Non Gender Specific, even has plantable packaging so you can grow your own wildflowers. (Honestly, I can’t imagine anything cuter than that.) And the creativity, care, and innovation certainly doesn’t stop there. With sustainability, activism, and clean beauty at the forefront, you can’t make a wrong choice with these brands.
