Our Mission
After treating thousands of clients across the melanin spectrum, I’ve learned that skin must be understood scientifically and emotionally. As a queer woman of color living with a skin condition and pigmentation disorder, I know what it feels like to be unseen, and I’ve transformed that pain into purpose. I’m building the company I wish existed when I began: one where consumers feel safe in their skin and professionals are equipped to confidently serve communities of color. Youth Dealer is a science-centered, trauma-informed beauty brand for the full melanin spectrum.
Where clinical expertise meets cultural power. It’s where expertise, culture, and community unite through innovation.
