Latinx Clean Beauty Brand Ceremonia Surpasses $100k in Revenue in First 100 Days

NEW YORK, May 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Ceremonia, the clean hair care brand rooted in Latinx heritage, launched in October 2020 with a clear mission: to cater to the diversity of the Latinx community and in turn, cultivate inclusivity for the often-overlooked demographics in the beauty space. Six months later, the company has outperformed revenue projections by more than 50% and set new standards for sell-through rates for early stage beauty brands.
Born out of CEO and Founder Babba C. Rivera’s desire to empower the next generation to embrace a new natural through clean yet effective products, last summer Rivera became one of 58 Latina women to raise $1 million through venture capital funding—a feat that’s even more impressive as Latinx women only earn an average of 54 cents on the dollar of white men, and Latina founders only receive a mere 0.4% of venture capital funding.

The wide padded satin piece by Prada, in a shade the brand calls Fiery Red, sat not astride Gorman’s head but on top, encircling her braided updo. It heightened the presence of the petite 22-year-old poet behind the large podium with the presidential seal, drawing the viewer’s eyes from her sunny yellow coat up to her face as she recited her work.

The accessory has morphed from a preppy status symbol to an empowering exclamation point, its purpose less controlling now than crowning.
