Monave

Monave is a Baltimore-based beauty brand specializing in handcrafted mineral makeup and skin care. Its products are made for a wide range of people, styles, skin tones, and life stages, with an emphasis on natural, plant-based and mineral ingredients. The cosmetics are gluten-free, cruelty-free, and free from carmine, phthalates, synthetic dyes, and parabens; the company also highlights its use of child-labor-free mica. A limited number of products contain humanely produced beeswax, so customers can consult Monave’s vegan product information when choosing items.

The collection includes mineral foundations and powders, blushes, concealers, eye and brow products, contour and highlighters, lip colors, samplers, and gift or starter sets. Monave also offers facial and body cleansers and facial toners, along with pigments and supplies for people making their own cosmetics. For beauty businesses, the brand provides wholesale and white-label products, bulk cosmetics, packaging and labeling options, product photos, education, and consulting. Tutorials, books, and DIY resources help customers learn about makeup and cosmetic crafting.
