Our Story
Turning Experience Into Change
That’s why I created Blind Beauty: a brand born from frustration, a love of skincare and the belief that beauty should be accessible to everyone.
Accessibility and inclusion are at the heart of what we do, from packaging designed with features such as tactile elements, clear text, braille and NaviLens QR codes, to making our website as accessible as possible for people using screen readers.
But Blind Beauty is more than just accessible skincare. It’s about raising awareness of blindness and sight loss, challenging stereotypes and advocating for greater inclusivity across the beauty industry. Because making beauty accessible isn't just about the products we create; it's about changing perceptions and ensuring blind and visually impaired people are considered, represented and included.
Where It All Began
Blind Beauty was founded from lived experience and a drive to create lasting change in the beauty industry.
In 2019, I lost my sight due to a neurological condition. As I navigated this new reality, I was struck by how inaccessible everyday products had suddenly become, particularly skincare. Something that had once brought me joy now felt alienating.
Skincare has always been a passion of mine, but I struggled to find products designed with blindness or visual impairment in mind. Labels I couldn’t read, websites I couldn’t navigate and packaging that relied entirely on visual information made something as simple as enjoying skincare unnecessarily difficult.
It quickly became clear that the beauty industry had left people like me behind. I wanted to challenge that and help create a more inclusive industry, where blind and visually impaired people are considered, represented and able to enjoy beauty on their own terms.
That experience became the starting point for Blind Beauty, a brand built around inclusive skincare, raising awareness of sight loss and making beauty more accessible for everyone.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help make beauty more inclusive. For blind and visually impaired people. For disabled people. For everyone.
Through our products, awareness work and advocacy, we want to challenge barriers and encourage a beauty industry that considers everyone's needs.
Because beauty should never be out of reach, and inclusion should never be an afterthought.
