Alice Lin Glover and Marie Kouadio Amouzame, the Melanin Muvas of skincare, have created a powerful duo for Women of Color in the skincare space since establishing this melanin-focused company in 2018. Eadem’s Cloud Cushion Airy Brightening Moisturizer lives up to the hyper that’s been surrounding the product as it has followed up to the initial debut with Milk Marvel, a dark spot serum featuring amber algae, Vitamin C, and niacinamide. With the abundance of ceramides, peptides, and snow mushroom, Cloud Cushion will serve as your barrier savior with its melano-compatible technology and fortifying 4-chain amino acid peptides. Deep hydration, quick absorption, and plush nourishment make this moisturizer a holy grail for sure. The sumptuous and pillowy texture leaves no residue and the sleek packaging design leaves a lasting impression.
