Community Highlights: Meet Kennon Wright of Blanc and Noire Skincare, LLC.

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kennon Wright.

Hi Kennon, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My name is Ken and I am a Memphis native.

Since I was a child, I have suffered from dry skin and it was noticeably the first thing everyone noticed; it was so bad, even my peers would gift me moisturizers for the holidays because they thought it was the most suitable thing. Winter and fall were always the worst because the cold weather and loss of humidity, but despite my friends attempt to make things better, the normal solutions like lotion and creams (mostly water based) did not help and others were too greasy and chemically concentrated to provide the moisture I needed.

Upon scrolling through Instagram one day, I came across a DIY video of a young lady making body butters and skincare products, and I was immediately mesmerized by the look, consistency, and ability a natural based skin care product could potentially be the solution to all my dry skin worries. Looking through her site as well as others, I started to notice there weren’t too many body butters or skincare products for men, yet alone ran by one, and instantly a light went off in my head.

Why not create my own?

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
While creating a body and skin care brand has not been a smooth road. It has been more rewarding than anything. I studied making body butters for almost a year before I launched any product, and right before I found a recipe that worked, I almost gave up because the process was so tedious.

Initially during my testing phase, my peers were not keen of the idea of trying out my products, so I had to learn how to create and build relationships. There are a lot of brands that do things that are aesthetically pleasing to create a want and revenue, but it was important for me to stand behind my decision to create a brand that could met expectations in both quality and aesthetics’s to stand out.

Overall, figuring out what people need vs. want is a continuous journey because everyone’s skin type is different, and requires different formulas to create the best product.
