The Melanated Skin Registry is a curated platform recognizing licensed estheticians, educators, and aesthetic professionals committed to thoughtful, pigment-aware care for melanin-rich skin.

Created to address the lack of centralized visibility within aesthetic care, the Registry serves as a professional resource for individuals seeking practitioners experienced in treating melanated skin with education, restraint, and long-term skin health in mind.

MSR exists to elevate professionals who prioritize integrity, informed treatment approaches, and inclusive care within the aesthetics industry.

Melanated skin has historically been underserved, overlooked, and frequently mistreated within the aesthetics industry due to gaps in education, representation, and practitioner visibility.

The Registry was created to help bridge that gap by highlighting professionals committed to informed, respectful, and thoughtful care for melanated skin.

MSR believes visibility should follow integrity, education, and patient-centered care — not simply marketing budgets or social media presence.

The Registry offers professionals the opportunity to be part of a growing platform centered around education, visibility, and elevated care for melanated skin.

Benefits of inclusion may include:

• Increased professional visibility

• Spotlight opportunities

• Editorial features

• Social media exposure

• Connection to individuals actively seeking pigment-aware care

• Alignment with a thoughtful, curated platform

The Registry values quality, professionalism, and meaningful representation over volume.

MSR is not a ranking system, certification body, or guarantee of treatment outcomes.

Registry inclusion does not imply perfection, endorsement of every service offered, or guaranteed results.

The platform exists to increase visibility for professionals who demonstrate thoughtful approaches to melanated skin care and align with the overall values and mission of the Registry.

Individuals are encouraged to independently research practitioners, schedule consultations, and make informed decisions regarding their care.

MSR encourages professionalism, continued education, ethical treatment practices, and respectful representation throughout the platform.

Professionals featured within the Registry are expected to value:

• Inclusive care

The Registry seeks to foster a culture of integrity, professionalism, and elevated care within the aesthetics industry.

Choosing a skincare professional is personal, and thoughtful care matters — especially when treating melanated skin.

MSR was created to help individuals discover professionals who approach care with education, intention, and respect for the unique needs of melanin-rich skin.

The Registry encourages individuals to:

• Research providers thoroughly

• Ask questions during consultations

• Seek practitioners who prioritize education and long-term skin health

Thoughtful treatment begins with informed decision-making.
