Founder Marc Elrick has a mission: to cure the misinformation spread on social media that was normalized during the pandemic. With SO many people playing chemist in their bathrooms by mixing and layering different formulas and ingredients, he sought to fill a gap in the skincare market. His answer? Fuss-free formulas uniquely formulated with a breakthrough Tri-Ceramide Complex that’s dedicated to repairing your skin’s barrier.
Now a growing one-stop shop to “boost your skin barrier — not break it,” BYOMA uses recyclable, neon-colored bottles and tubes to bring life back to your skin and fun to your bathroom cabinet. Can we get a hallelujah?

If expensive shampoos aren’t getting you closer to your #hairgoals, it’s time to consider your hair porosity and the amount of product your hair can absorb. DW, Next Of Us does all the hard work by curating products with different porosity levels for type 3A to 4C textures to enjoy. And since the brains behind the business understand how much product your hair needs (and wants!), their nourishing line totally comes thruuu!
Exclusively sold at Walmart, their collection includes shampoos, conditioners, styling gels, and more – each formulated without sulfates, dyes, or parabens. Oh, and shoutout to that packaging – its designs showcase different curl patterns to help you instantly recognize the product best suited for your hair type.
