February marks Black History Month, but the team at Pura Vida recognizes that the Black community deserves to be honored and celebrated every single day! This month is a great reminder to continue to educate ourselves and find actionable ways to support the BIPOC community. If you’re looking for a place to start, we've put together a list of some of our fav eco-friendly and clean black-owned businesses you *need* to support!
Love them all?! Us too - so we purchased some of our favorite beauty products from a couple amazing brands listed below to include in a Pura Vida x Beauty Box Giveaway, which will include our Racial Justice Awareness Bracelets and Sticker, plus $100 worth of PV goodies! *Learn how to enter at the bottom of this post!*

They create non-toxic, ethical nail polish and treatments while reminding women that self-care isn't being selfish - it's *necessary*! They are gluten free, vegan friendly and 10-Free! If you're looking for a non-toxic home spa day, you'll def want to snag from Rooted Woman polish!
