Japanese tennis player Naomi Osaka has announced the launch of her skincare brand KINLÒ, which is 'a functional skincare brand that is formulated specifically for people with melanated skin'.
The four-time Grand Slam tennis champion commented 'Bringing KINLÒ to life was a personal and professional goal of mine. I am thrilled that my first entrepreneurial endeavour will be something meaningful to my community. Through my personal experience and learnings, I have found that Black, Brown, and other melanated skin toned communities are often an after-thought in the discussion and research surrounding sun care, including being excluded from clinical studies on skin cancer.... These points have all led me to create KINLÒ, a mission-first brand'.
