Yandy Smith-Harris launched YELLE Skincare to create affordable options for dark skin with clean ingredients after her personal battles with depression that showed on her skin.
The company tackles issues such as hyperpigmentation and sensitivity to harsher ingredients specifically for melanin-rich skin.
YELLE's holistic approach has helped the brand stand out in a crowded market by combining ingestible supplements with topical products.
Skincare is not just about what you put on your skin, but also what you put into your body, says Yandy Harris-Smith.
The products and supplements work collectively to tackle skin issues and promote full-body wellness for its customers.
YELLE provides well-tailored solutions for darker skin tones while promoting self-love and confidence.
To be a successful entrepreneur, believe in yourself and your vision, stay confident in your ideas, and seek advice from those in your industry.
Networking with people who can help guide entrepreneurs and not being afraid to ask questions is vital for success.
Yandy also highlights the importance of influencer marketing and partnerships in growing her brand.
YELLE's goal is to increase access to the products that serve more people and enter more retail spaces while simultaneously expanding its digital presence.
