In celebration of Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day, I am excited to share with you The Glow Girl Edit for Female Owned Businesses. This comprehensive list covers some of the best female-founded companies with products in fashion, beauty, wellness and lifestyle. I’ve had the pleasure of covering or working with many of these brands over the past year and think you will enjoy perusing this list to check out some of the latest and greatest out there. The updated edit below is an aggregated list that includes many of my original faves from the articles, “Female Co-Owned Small Business Edit” and “Black Businesses to Support" in addition to many new brands I’ve discovered in the past 6 months. These female-owned companies are all killing it in their sectors-I can’t wait to see what’s next for them. We all know how much work goes into running a thriving business and to move the needle, you need to be super savvy and offer a product or service that really stands out from the crowd.
I personally love all the businesses on this list and have arranged special discounts for you with several of these indie brands. Be sure to check out The Glow Girl deals page to see the exclusive discounts all in one place for easy shopping.
