Summary
The beauty industry loves to profit from Black women—but too often ignores our unique skincare, haircare, and wellness needs. Spelman College is changing that through its Cosmetic Science programs, creating space for Black women to lead in beauty, science, and innovation—not just consume it.
Students study cosmetic chemistry, skincare science, and product formulation while unpacking how beauty standards impact Black communities. From the lab to corporate leadership, Spelman is building the next generation of Black women shaping the future of beauty from the inside out.
This episode features the Director of Spelman College's Cosmetic Science Program, Dr. Leyte Winfield, Ph.D. She is a distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Spelman College.
