We started brownkind with one unwavering belief: you need to understand your skin and treat it the way it’s meant to be treated. Not with generic leftovers. Not with mass-marketed formulas. But with skincare that is carefully studied, thoughtfully formulated, and deeply respectful of what your skin truly needs.
That’s why we’re proud to share that our Dark Spot Corrector has been named the Best Serum for Dark Spots by the Who What Wear 100 Beauty Awards.
This honor holds deep significance for us – not simply because it celebrates the product, but because it affirms what we’ve believed from the beginning: that melanin-rich skin is worthy of dedicated attention, scientific rigor, and its own standard of care.
We didn’t set out to create just another skincare line. As two doctors of color with over 50 years of combined experience in dermatology and pathology, we’ve seen firsthand how melanin-rich skin is often misunderstood, misrepresented, or overlooked within the skincare industry. We built brownkind to offer something different – something better.
Brownkind is rooted in science and designed with intention. Every formula, including our Dark Spot Corrector, is made to reflect how melanin-rich skin truly behaves – how it ages, heals, and responds to treatment.
To that end, we developed our Even Tone Defender™ blend – featuring Indian Gooseberry, Rainbow Algae, and Cacao Extract – selected for their proven efficacy. Together, they work to help restore clarity and balance, without compromising the natural structure or tone of your skin.
This award is not just a milestone for our team, but a reflection of a broader shift in the skincare conversation. One that finally recognizes skincare that honors people who have long been excluded.
Our belief is simple. You should never have to compromise when it comes to your skin. Not when it comes to quality. Not when it comes to safety. And certainly not when it comes to dignity.
We are sincerely grateful to Who What Wear for this recognition, and endlessly thankful to our community – those of you who trust brownkind, who share our values, and who believe that better is not just possible, but necessary.
We remain committed to raising the bar. Because your skin deserves nothing less.
With gratitude,
Dr. Gauri Desai & Dr. Abhijit Desai
