My Story

From Frustrated Skin to Handcrafted Glow ✨

Hey, I’m Yessenia — founder of Melanin Kissed.

This all started from my own struggles with finding skincare that actually worked for my skin. I was tired of overpriced, underwhelming products that didn’t feel personal or intentional. So I started creating my own.

What began as small-batch body butters for myself and my family quickly turned into something much bigger — a brand built on self-care, luxury, and real results. Every jar is whipped by hand, with love and purpose behind every ingredient.

Melanin Kissed isn’t just skincare — it’s a glow-up experience. One that celebrates softness, radiance, and feeling good in your skin.

Thank you for being here. I created this for you.

With love,
Yessenia Allen
