Kreyol Essence
Founded by Yve-Car Momperousse
Kreyol Essence is a Haitian-rooted clean beauty brand led by Haitian-American entrepreneur Yve-Car Momperousse, best known for its sustainably handmade Haitian Black Castor Oil, the product that earned a Shark Tank spotlight and impressed Kevin O'Leary. The filtered Haitian castor oil is prized for moisturizing, anti-bacterial and anti-viral benefits and is a staple for deeply nourishing dry, ashy or melanin-rich skin and hair, a chronic gap for Black and Caribbean consumers. The brand pairs a social-impact model, sourcing from Haiti and supporting local livelihoods, with naturally-derived haircare and skincare oils. The discovery angle is its authentic Haitian sourcing story and its role as one of the few prominent Haitian-owned brands in a Caribbean beauty space dominated by larger names. Caveats: it's an oils/haircare-and-skincare line rather than a shade-based makeup brand, so "deep skin served" is about ingredient suitability, not foundation matching; founding year and full ownership details should be confirmed.
