KLUR is a wellness-focused skincare brand specializing in artisan and handcrafted formulas. The Black-owned business was founded by Lesley Thornton who had a vision to "cultivate a brand that reflected the values of clean, ethical, and inclusive beauty."
Thorton's background as an esthetician lead her to create a variety of personalized skincare treatments for her clients and inspired the KLUR line -- a product range that is minimalistic and centered around consumers' overall skin health.
KLUR's product line consists of seven key formulas including Immersion -- a green tea-infused hydrating serum that gives dull and dry skin a much needed moisture boost -- the brand's anti-pollution Symmetry serum, its Stellar Restoration Multivitamin + Retinol Corrective Complex and the Brilliant Light Vitamin C repair serum. KLUR also offers the exfoliating Skin Soil powder, the Gentle Matter Dandelion & Olive Daily Moisture Cleanser and a multipurpose botanical oil blend named Elements of Comfort.
