About Beautélanin Skincare

Rooted in Haitian Heritage. Restored by NoirActive™ Science.

Beautélanin Skincare was born from a radical love for Black skin, its depth, its memory, its brilliance. We are a melanin-centered skincare brand that doesn't just acknowledge heritage, we are built from it.

Founded by a Haitian American esthetician and certified formulator, Beautélanin merges ancestral botanical wisdom with modern, barrier-safe formulation. Every product, every ritual, and every treatment is crafted to respect the biology of melanin, not erase it.

Our approach is culturally informed, trauma-aware, and biologically intentional.

We formulate for the skin that has been overlooked, under-researched, and gaslit. We formulate for the skin that carries lineage, not just oil and pigment. And we do so with reverence, precision, and unapologetic pride.

What Makes Us Different

  • We don’t use bleaching agents or tyrosinase suppressants.

  • We don’t make you chase "brightness." We restore your baseline.

  • We do not use Black skin for marketing. We center it in formulation.

Our proprietary skin science system, NoirActive™, powers every Beautélanin product. This system uses plant-based peptides, fermented actives, and barrier-safe botanicals, including Haitian and Caribbean medicinal plants with centuries of proven healing benefits to rebuild what colonized beauty tried to break.

our core value, mission, and vision

MISSION

To restore the skin and the story of melanin-rich people everywhere.
We protect, repair, and revere our skin through culturally rooted, scientifically precise skincare. Every ritual, every formula, every protocol is built to honor biology, history, and the inherited strength of our melanin without bleaching, erasure, or shortcuts that cost us our health.

We don’t just treat skin; we defend its memory.
We don’t just sell products; we rewrite the industry’s script.

Before we pour anything into a jar or perform any treatment, we stand on this:

VISION

To see melanin celebrated, not corrected in the lab, on the shelf, in the spa, and in the mirror. We will lead the global shift toward melanin-centered skin health by setting the highest standard of safety, efficacy, and cultural respect. Beautélanin will stand as the most trusted name in melanin-rich skin restoration, across generations, across borders, across every spectrum of gender and shade.

Our vision is a world where the industry no longer treats our skin as an afterthought, because we have made it the blueprint.

VALUES

1. Science Without Erasure
We design every formula and protocol using melanin-safe research and testing, powered by our proprietary systems MélanoMatrix-D™ and NoirScience™.

2. Heritage in Every Drop
Our work is infused with Caribbean lineage, the remedies, rituals, and wisdom passed down through hands that cared for skin long before the word “spa” existed.

3. Repair Over Rebrand
We don’t chase trends or “rebrand” whitening formulas as “brightening.” We heal, restore, and protect without compromise.

4. Truth Over Tokenism
We reject the performative diversity of mainstream skincare. We are built for us, by us, with measurable results and cultural respect at the core.

5. Beauty as Legacy
We believe skin care is an act of ancestral preservation, a ritual that safeguards not only the face we wear today, but the future we hand down.

Our Promise

We welcome everyone, anyone who wants to practice skincare in reverence, who is not running after beauty trends, and who gives reverence to their skin regardless of the amount of melanin being produced. You don't have to be Black to believe in Black skin science. You just have to believe that skincare should heal, not harm.

We formulate our own products with carefully selected ingredients in our private lab. Our products are tested with intention, not jargon. We do not hide behind pseudoscience phrases like "clinically tested" or "dermatologist approved" to gain your trust. Trust must be earned.

We invite you to try our sacred skin treatments and experience them for yourself. Use discernment. Do your own research. Read the educational materials we provide, not to convince you, but to empower you to reach your own conclusion.

Because it's time we stop being gaslit by an industry that has overlooked us for far too long.

Reviews are not objective. But we will always be transparent. If you are looking for instant, dramatic results, our products may not be for you. We do not believe in fast skincare because that is the language of the colonizer, not the rhythm of our ancestors.

Our ancestors endured years of violation and survival. Their histories are written into our melanin, encoded in the resilience of our skin. To heal, to restore, to revere—this takes more than 10 minutes, more than a jar, more than a month.

Skincare is not performance. It is a return.

It is ritual. It is rebellion. It is restoration.

Simplicity

If it doesn’t serve your skin’s vitality, it doesn’t belong. We formulate with intention, not clutter, only what your melanin truly needs.

Single Source

We partner with trusted farms where every ingredient is traceable, ethically grown, and harvested with profit-sharing for local workers. No dilution. No shortcuts.

Guaranteed

If our product doesn’t feel transformative, we’ll make it right. You’ll get a full refund and a tailored referral to alternatives we trust.

Artisanal

Every formula is crafted in small batches, hand-blended with mortar and pestle, preserving the spirit, potency, and purpose of each plant.

Our Story

From Haiti to Your Hands

Beautélanin is rooted in generations of Haitian healing, not borrowed inspiration.

Our ingredients aren’t trends, they’re inheritances.
Passed down through grandmothers, gardens, and rituals too old for textbooks.

From the scallions we plant for protection…
To the moringa we press for strength…
To the teas we steep in ceremony and stillness,
everything we offer was once a whisper from the land.

This is how we bring Haiti to your hands. With reverence, not repackaging.

Our Founder’s Journey

A Heritage Rediscovered

Judith Pluviose, Esq.

Melanin-Centered Skin Specialist | Founder of Beautélanin Skincare
Certified Formulator. Legal Advocate. Esthetician. Truth Teller.

Judith S. Pluviose, Esq. is an attorney, licensed esthetician, educator, and founder of Beautélanin Skincare™, a melanin-safe skincare brand dedicated to the science, artistry, and cultural reverence of Black and brown skin.

With a professional foundation in law, advocacy, and community leadership, Judith brings a unique voice to the beauty industry, challenging Eurocentric skincare standards and creating education that celebrates and protects melanin-rich skin. Through her proprietary MélanoMatrix-D™ diagnostic framework and NoirScience™ philosophy, she trains estheticians and wellness professionals to deliver treatments rooted in science, safety, and ancestral heritage.

Judith’s work spans professional skincare education, custom treatment protocols, curriculum development, and public speaking. Her mission is to empower clients and professionals alike to honor the stratum corneum, protect the skin’s memory, and dismantle harmful industry myths about pigmentation.

When she’s not in the treatment room or classroom, Judith is writing books, developing advanced training modules, and speaking on skin health equity, cultural inclusivity, and the intersection of beauty and identity. She continues to serve her community as a legal advocate, drawing on decades of experience in negotiation, litigation, and client advocacy.

Specialties: melanin-safe skincare, professional esthetics training, proprietary diagnostic tools, barrier-repair treatments, pigmentation protocols, skin health education, cultural inclusivity in beauty, legal advocacy.

Rooted in her Haitian ancestry and armed with scientific precision, Judith dares to answer a question the industry never dared to ask: What does it mean to care for Black skin, not with fear, but with reverence?

Her proprietary science system, NoirActive™, is her rebellion against ingredient erasure, barrier trauma, and the marketing that commodifies melanin while refusing to understand it. It is not a trend. It is a return to what was sacred before colonized skincare told us we were a complication.

She is the author of The Skin They Forgot to Teach, and a rising voice in the movement to decolonize esthetics education and dismantle skin pseudoscience from the inside out. Through essays, rituals, and refusals, Judith is redefining what skincare means for people who have always been misdiagnosed, misunderstood, and missing from the curriculum.

She doesn’t just formulate. She testifies.
She doesn’t just question. She builds.
She doesn’t just speak truth. She makes it tangible in product, in science, in skin.

I’m not chasing validation.
I’m creating the science they refused to teach.
— Judith Pluviose, Esq.

Judith lives in New York with her two sons, her husband, and a garden altar rooted in stillness, memory, and return.

Still Becoming... (sacred space)

This space holds what we’re building, not what we had to borrow. Until our full council is revealed, we offer sacred words, ancestral reminders, and declarations of return. Because even when the world couldn’t see us, we were still becoming.
