I'm AJ Addae, I'm 21, and I'm the founder of a cosmetic R&D laboratory called sula labs. As a former clinical R&D scientist, my background is in cosmetic formulation and dermatologic research science, with a recent first-author publication in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology.

sula labs is an R&D laboratory and creative space that develops skin, body, and personal care products for startup businesses with skin of color in mind. Since our launch in September, we've accomplished/worked with:

6 indie beauty brands' product development
1 tech company, now investor backed
1 consumer in-use study
1 in-vitro study for dark skin types

All are projects that center skin of color or darker skin types.

Black Futures' Month is a forward-looking, visionary spin on celebrations on Blackness in February. Therefore, it’s a great time for dreaming, envisioning, re-imagining, and most importantly, investing in the Black community — everything it is, was, and can be. As a Black-owned company, we take this very seriously.

What sula labs sees in our future:

A paid lab intern.
Affording larger equipment and testing costs.
A designated inventory space.
More lab studies.
Community and mentorship.
...and more!

We believe in a future of collective Black joy, health, and big dreams - consider donating, sharing, and spreading through your networks to help get us to our goal!
