Our Approval Process

At BLK + GRN, we’re an ecosystem that supports Black artisans and empowers Black people to live healthier, more conscious lives.

Our artisans are thoughtfully selected by experts who understand what truly defines high-quality, non-toxic, and sustainable products. We’ve seen how harmful ingredients and practices have impacted our community, and we’re committed to offering alternatives that promote wellness, sustainability, and intentional living.

Within this ecosystem, our marketplace connects you to a curated range of products—from personal care to lifestyle essentials—while fostering education, community, and conscious consumption.

STEP 1

Discover

We love finding small Black artisan brands that are high quality and really meeting a unique need. We have hundreds of artisans that we have discovered, but we are not interested in carrying every product possible; we curate our selection to include only the best of the best of Black-owned brands.

STEP 2

Alignment

We only partner with Artisans that have built their brands on the values at the heart of BLK + GRN — health, wellness, and community cultivation. We go deeper with the Artisan, asking questions about sourcing, packaging, personality, and community responsibility.

STEP 3

Quality Assurance

We wouldn’t bring anything that’s toxic into our home, or yours. We check each personal care product ingredient against our Toxic Twenty List- which was developed utilizing the latest research - and we ensure that nothing scores above a 5 for toxicity. For any clothes or jewelry, we have a non-toxic style standard. We want to be absolutely sure we’re offering you the cleanest plant-based products on the market.

STEP 4

Test

Sustainability comes first, then performance. We partner with experts—from aestheticians to designers—to try our products and share honest feedback on quality, effectiveness, and experience, so you can shop with confidence.
