Women have been dominating in their respective fields for years, but are gaining momentum right now. From fashion to home décor, these women-owned brands are making their mark. Check out some of these companies below!
Forvr Mood
If you’re familiar with YouTube, you definitely know about this brand. Founded by beauty creator Jackie Aina, it’s fitting that her business debut is dedicated to home lifestyle. Forvr Mood is currently selling four candle scents, as well as silk pillowcases and scarves. With candles retailing for $35, the gift set makes a great way to try each scent for $125. Once the website opened, products immediately sold out. But don’t worry, restocks are slated for the end of September.
Ollie
Ollie focuses on 100% pure essential oils. Some of the popular oils include their Himalayan Lavender Oil and Peppermint Oil. The Singapore-based company notes where each product is sourced from, making for a point of transparency. Also, the oils can be used on the body but patch-testing is suggested. If oils aren’t your thing don’t worry. Ollie also sells yoga mat sanitizer spray and hand sanitizer spray, great for our current climate. Ollie’s products range from $7-$17, with bundle deals as low as $34.

Plus Hari’s company is unisex, as she also provides men’s backpacks and briefcases.
Taylor’d Tips
With the closure of nail salons, press-on nails completely took over. Taylor’d Tips provides reusable, custom press-on nails. Some of the popular styles include pastel shades and tortoiseshell. What’s great about this company is that it sells sizing kits for only $5. These kits feature different nail shapes and lengths to help before you commit to a full set.
