Bea’s Bayou is a skincare line with steady growth since its launch in 2020. The brand recently hit another milestone by winning the 2022 Aveeno x Essence skin health accelerator pitch.
Aveeno x Essence StartUp Pitch Competition
Skincare brand Aveeno cooperated with Essence to create an accelerator pitch competition. With the idea to promote diversity, the competition was created for Black women entrepreneurs. Aveeno and Essence were looking for an innovative brand, technology, or product that would address the needs of Black people when it comes to skincare and haircare.
This competition was a great opportunity for beauty entrepreneurs as not only did it have a grand prize of $100 000, but it also included the opportunity for mentorship with the Aveeno business leaders and experts.

The competition attracted all kinds of beauty entrepreneurs, making it engaging. Arielle Brown represented her brand Bea’s Bayou. She managed to amaze everyone with her inspiring personal story and deep understanding of the skin’s needs.
After she experienced scalp flare-ups due to Seborrheic dermatitis, Arielle was determined to restore health to her scalp. This is how she found the miracle formula and decided to start her own brand.
The Mission Behind Bea’s Bayou

Arielle’s vision for the brand was always to make sure it was herbal, inclusive, and repairing. She still adheres to these principles today. Her painful experience with scalp issues made it her mission to help people who are suffering from similar issues. Much thought went into creating Bea’s Bayou products.
When she first started out Arielle dived into the research about herbs and probiotics that can calm and nourish irritated skin. Good Biome Scalp Solution was born as the result of endless research and trials. The product’s value quickly became apparent when the customer reviews were overwhelmingly positive. Arielle shared that her idea was always to create a product that would help people with inflammation-prone skin with natural, inclusive, and innovative products.
Good Biome Scalp Solution managed to tick off all these goals and help people of all ages and backgrounds. Soon the entire line was there offering people even more options.
