LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, PROUDLY, Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade’s baby care brand for babies with melanated skin, announced expansion into retail with an exclusive Target partnership. Starting this month, the PROUDLY baby body and bum care line will be available at Target stores nationwide and online at Target.com. Target will carry the full line of high-quality, affordable PROUDLY products, each priced at less than $20.
“Inspired by our daughter Kaavia, we set out to create baby care products formulated specially for babies with melanated skin,” stated Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade. “Through our partnership with Target, PROUDLY products will now be widely available to more communities, parents and caretakers. We are so grateful to be partnering with Target who is aligned with our mission to embrace and celebrate babies of color.”
PROUDLY is expanding their baby care product offerings and availability with a full line of toiletries, diapers and wipes, all thoughtfully co-designed with dermatologist Dr. Naana Boakye who studied and selected gentle, cleaner ingredients to nourish melanated skin. She focused on keeping out ingredients that strip melanated skin of its natural moisture or could trigger common skin concerns for sensitive melanated skin like eczema and acne.
