The Woman Behind the Ritual
A Designer Who BuildsWorlds From Heritage.
Born in Rome to a Haitian mother and Italian father, Stella Jean became the first Black Italian designer to reach international acclaim — worn by Beyoncé and Rihanna, celebrated at Milan Fashion Week, chosen to design Haiti's Paris Olympics uniforms.
When Essence Magazine asked about her go-to beauty products, she named Kreyòl Essence Haitian Black Castor Oil.
"Kreyòl Essence 100% natural Haitian black castor oil, pure organic moringa oil."— Stella Jean, as told to Essence Magazine

Haiti Impact

Every Heritage System purchase = direct wages for 3 Haitian producers. One of the first brands clinically tested for textured hair & POC.
