The category Europe has been waiting for.

We combine genuine cultural intelligence, DACH retail and distribution relationships, and a deep understanding of the Black beauty community to give brands the access and advocacy they have historically been denied in European markets.

Where we focus.

Textured Hair

Care, styling and treatment for coils, curls and waves, a category DACH shelves have barely begun to serve.

Melanin-Rich Skincare

Formulations and evidence built for deeper skin tones, positioned for buyers who expect proof.

Inclusive Cosmetics

Shade ranges and colour cosmetics designed for the full spectrum of European consumers.

Afrocentric Wellness

Heritage botanicals, rituals and wellbeing brands with a story European consumers are ready to hear.

How we help.

African Beauty is our first priority, and the heart of the House of Keren ecosystem.

  1. Regulatory groundwork

    EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009, CPNP notification, an EU Responsible Person and German-language labelling, all in place before the first buyer meeting.

  2. Retail positioning

    Pricing, packaging and margin structures that work on DACH shelves, and a story buyers can sell.

  3. Market intelligence

    Consumer, competitor and category insight on the Black and Afro-diaspora community across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

  4. Cultural translation

    Brand narrative, founder story and community adapted for DACH audiences, without losing what makes the brand yours.
