Similar dissatisfaction has been witnessed in the multicultural hair care and makeup spaces. This is a dynamic that can be resolved by offering true efficacy to consumers, resulting in market opportunities for brands.

Addae is a cosmetic chemist, clinical researcher and chemical biology Ph.D. student at the University of California, Los Angeles.

When Addae was a clinical researcher and formulator in the medical-grade skin care space, she immediately saw how underserved and under-considered Black consumers are in the R&D process, and sought to build Sula Labs—a research-forward product development and testing laboratory that develops and tests products for Black-owned brands and dark-skinned consumers, with customers in retailers including Sephora, Credo Beauty and Ulta Beauty.

Addae's dermatologic research is published in the Journal of Drugs and Dermatology, and she is a Future Laboratory Future Innovators awardee. She is ultimately driven by her innate passion for using chemistry and clinical research as a means of change for the health of skin of color.
