The KLUR skincare brand - clean beauty approach

Lesley Thornton, a licensed esthetician, beauty pro, and the founder of KLUR — a Los Angeles–based, Black-owned, independent skincare brand with a cheerful, no-fuss approach to clean beauty. After a decade as a makeup artist and esthetician, Lesley launched KLUR in 2019 to fill gaps she saw in the industry: thoughtful, effective skincare that works for all skin tones and types.

Quick facts about Lesley Thornton and KLUR

• Roots: Raised in Compton, California, Lesley started in beauty as a makeup artist and became a licensed esthetician in 2010. That hands-on experience shaped her no-nonsense approach to product design.

• Brand philosophy: KLUR is built on sustainability, inclusivity, and performance — botanical-forward formulas designed to be gentle, effective, and welcoming to everyone, especially Black consumers who’ve historically been underserved.

• Business model: Fully independent, self-funded, and women-run, KLUR grew deliberately. Lesley began by selling directly to customers before expanding into select retailers like Credo Beauty.

• Formulation & sustainability: Made in Los Angeles with locally sourced, eco-minded ingredients, KLUR emphasizes clean, minimalist formulations that deliver results without the clutter.

• Recognition: KLUR’s pared-back aesthetic and potent, plant-forward products have earned attention across beauty outlets and a loyal fanbase.

Simple, effective, and thoughtfully made — KLUR reflects Lesley’s long experience in beauty and her commitment to creating inclusive skincare that doesn’t compromise on ethics or results.
