Why Shobha Philips is On a Mission to Make "Nude" Bras Way More Inclusive

Ever found yourself super frustrated that you can't actually find a nude bra that matches your skin tone? As a woman of color, I know I've personally tried out all sorts of alternates to nude — gray, blue, purple — none of which have anything in common with the color of my skin, but do seem to hide well under a white tee.

Recently, fashion-forward designers and entrepreneurs have sought to revolutionize the definition of nude by offering more inclusive everything — from shoes to slips to bras. Shobha Philips is one such pioneer, and her company Proclaim is at the forefront of the nude revolution.

Anjelika Temple here, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Brit + Co, longtime wearer of incorrectly-colored-nude undergarments, and Proclaim's newest customer ;) Read on to learn all about Proclaim founder Shobha Philips' story and mission, and prepare to look at "nude" in a whole different light.

Anjelika Temple: To kick things off, tell us a little more about where you're from.

Shobha Philips: I am from St. Louis, born and raised. I went to school in Minnesota where I studied Marketing and International Business. I was never a fan of Midwest winters and escaped to San Francisco for 10 years. I recently made the move to LA to continue to grow the business.

AT: Have you always been interested in fashion?

SP: I have always loved fashion. I'm a very visual person and like playing with colors and patterns. I also appreciate the unique power of clothes to transform people and tell a story.

AT: Tell us more about your career path before founding Proclaim.

SP: I was in corporate positions in supply chain and market research before starting Proclaim. While I was working full time, I was researching the fashion industry and manufacturing on nights and weekends. It took almost two years of researching, reaching out to people and making connections to bring Proclaim to life. As an outsider in the industry and being a small player, it wasn't easy to find the right suppliers and production partners. Plus, with my vision of creating an ethical, transparent supply chain, the process was even more complicated.

AT: Okay, we're ready for the origin story! Tell us all about Proclaim. What is your WHY?

SP: I started Proclaim because I was tired of not being able to find a nude bra that matched my brown skin as an Indian woman. For years the fashion industry has chosen to ignore me and millions of women that don't have the skin color that is ubiquitously known as nude. It was something I was aware of for as long as I can remember. I knew I wanted to be a part of the movement to revolutionize nude, but if I was going to do this, I wanted to do it right. Beyond inclusivity, there are so many issues in the fashion industry that are long overdue for change, specifically its negative effects on people and the environment. Proclaim is ethically made, inclusively designed intimates for women of all shapes, sizes and skin tones. Our pieces are made from eco-friendly fabrics and made locally here in Los Angeles.

AT: What gave you the confidence to take the leap and disrupt the definition of "nude"?

SP: I always knew I wanted to start my own company and once I decided this was the problem I wanted to tackle, I couldn't wait to get started. I couldn't fall asleep that night, I just had so many ideas running through my head. I think that was when I knew this was really my passion. There is never a right time to start, and it definitely felt scary, but at some point, I realized you just have to take the leap. I've learned you have to get comfortable with that uneasy feeling in entrepreneurship because it comes up all the time.

AT: I've read all about how ethical production and sustainability are core to your brand. Tell us more about how on earth you turn plastic bottles into super soft bras.

SP: It was important to me that environmental impact was considered with each decision I made. I choose to use eco-friendly fabrics including Tencel, which is made from eucalyptus bark, and Recycled Polyester, which is made from recycled plastic bottles. In short, plastic water bottles labeled with the #1 on the bottom are the same chemical make-up as polyester, which is called PET, or technically known as polyethylene terephthalate. I think it's important to note that this material is BPA-free. In the recycling process, the bottles are sterilized and turned into small flakes. These flakes are then heated and pulled to form strings of yarn which are knit into our recycled polyester (rPET) fabric. Our fabric is woven and dyed in the Los Angeles area.

AT: What do you love most about making things and putting them into the world?

SP: I love making something tangible that people can feel good about and feel good in. Hearing from customers that they've found their new favorite bra is probably the best feeling.

Favorite Quote: Question everything.

Trivia About You: I have a twin sister.

Go-To Karaoke Song: Say My Name

Favorite Trend: Conscious consumerism

Late Night Snack: Popcorn

Currently Reading: The news

AT: What does your support system look like? How does your community help you thrive?

SP: I've met so many other female founders in the fashion industry and they have been my support system through all of the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. Knowing women who are going through the same things who I can bounce ideas off of, get advice from, or just vent is everything. I would not be where I am today without the tribe of women I have met along the way.

AT: On that note, who are some other badass fashion babes our readers should know about?

SP: There are not many visible women of color in the ethical fashion space. Dominique Drakeford and Aditi Mayer are two women who have amazing style and are using their platforms to bring awareness to things like ecological equity and social justice in the fashion industry – issues that affect women of color.

AT: Back to bras! I love that your line is totally wireless. What made you make that decision? Have you found that women are starting to ditch traditional underwire? (I know I have!)

SP: I am all for wire free bras. I think in the last few years women have really questioned and rejected the ubiquitous underwire, padded bra that we've all been told we need to wear to be desirable or attractive. Women are embracing styles that highlight their natural shape and above all are comfortable.

AT: When someone wears a Proclaim bra for the first time, how do you want them to feel?

SP: Seen. For many women, it is their first nude bra that actually matches their skin tone or comes in their size (our sizing goes from S-3X). I also want women to feel good about wearing a bra that is ethically made.

AT: What's coming up next for Proclaim?

SP: More inclusive nudes! There are so many wardrobe staples that need to be made in everyone's skin tone.

6 Ways To Be A More Conscious Consumer In The New Year

Deciding to become a more conscious consumer is one of the bestNew Year’s resolutions you can make this year. Being thoughtful about your purchasing power is an especially wise move because every action we take, no matter how big or small, impacts people and the planet. Have you been rethinking your relationship with material things, but not sure how to initiate the breakup? We’ve listed six ideas to help pave your path to helping mitigate climate change, empower communities around the world, and truly give back to society.

Buy Only What You Need

It sometimes feels as though there’s no bigger dopamine hit than a shopping spree. That instant gratification you receive when you buy something new and shiny is oh so rewarding. However, it can be counterintuitive if you want to downsize your carbon footprint and reduce the amount of greenhouse gas, specifically carbon dioxide, generated from your activities. The next time your favorite denim brand emails you about their big sale, ask yourself. “Do I really need another pair of jeans?”. Your answer may surprise you and your wallet.

If It’s Broke, Fix It

Vacuums conk out, buttons fall off clothing, and shoes scuff. Stuff happens. Instead of immediately replacing your less than perfect items, try upcycling them. Today, it’s so easy to get caught up in always wanting the latest, greatest 2.0 version of something. Fight that urge and do the world’s landfills a favor by breathing a second (or third) life into the earthly possessions you already own. You may also surprise yourself and discover that you’re handier than you think!

Research Where Things Come From

So often as consumers, our material wants and desires are driven by appearance, price, and accessibility, which can cloud our judgment about making ethical decisions. As a truly conscious consumer, consider the social, environmental, and health impacts of purchasing something before you drop some cash on it.

Visit the websites of brands you find yourself gravitating toward, and read the “About Us” section to learn about the brand’s mission and how their products are made, who makes them and where they come from.
Question claims made by companies that aren’t transparent with their explanations. For instance, if they say they use “sustainable practices,” but don’t offer examples of how they do that, reach out to their team and ask for more information. Being a conscious consumer is about being brave and standing up for what you believe in.
Super low prices can be a red flag of unethical business practices. Unleashing your inner Sherlock Holmes is essential to using your purchasing power for good, but be prepared to ditch your shopping cart if your findings don’t align with your values.

Educate Yourself On Ingredients

You don’t need to earn a degree in chemistry, but knowing what chemicals and compounds to proactively avoid when shopping for many consumer goods will only help you and your loved ones in the long run. Phthalates, parabens, oxybenzone, DEA, formaldehyde, fragrance, toluene, triclosan, SLS, PEGs and BHAs are some ingredients in makeup and skincare that give many people and organizations cause for concern. Glyphosate in pesticides and perfluorinated compounds in plastic packaging are also ingredients that make many people wary. The Think Dirtyapp and The Environmental Working Group website are wonderful tools to help you better understand and decode all these hard to pronounce words and more.

Consumer industries for everything from beauty products to cleaning supplies and home goods have been incorporating terms like “green,” “clean,” and “non-toxic” jargon into their marketing pitches for a while now. While this can be incredibly helpful, a truly conscious consumer goes the extra mile to ensure they’re not being duped by the power of greenwashing, a deceptive marketing practice of making an organization’s items appear to be people and planet friendly.

Seek Out Certifications And Labels

For any consumer goods’ company to prosper in today’s economy, being associated with ethical and sustainable certifications and labels are table stakes at this point. While the list of labels is constantly growing, here are some of the top ones to keep an eye out for:

B Corp: This certification ensures that a business is committed to using their profits to create good in the world. These companies are held at high standards and continually assessed to make sure they’re valuing their employees and the planet as much as the profits.
Fair Trade: Fair Trade certified brands and businesses that follow the 10 Principles of Fair Trade created by the World Fair Trade Organization also put people and the planet first. They help create solutions to issues including the overuse of natural resources, women’s empowerment, refugee livelihoods, human rights, inequality, and sustainable farming. Fair trade also champions the dignity of workers, farmers, artisans, and communities around the world.
USDA Organic Certified: When you buy food with this label, you can rest assured it has been made without pesticides and toxic fertilizers.
Leaping Bunny Certified: Products that carry the Leaping Bunny seal of approval have demonstrated to regulators that they don’t engage in animal testing, nor to they purchase ingredients from other companies that do.

Share Your Knowledge

Kudos to you for taking the extra time and energy to be a global ally. Your awareness of how your consumption impacts society is a choice you made. Be your own hype woman

around friends and family, especially with ones who might not be as “in the know,” and share some ideas and examples of ways they, too, can adopt a more conscious consumer mindset. Remember, the goal is not to seek perfection with every purchase and action you make, but to strive to make better choices when you can so they add up to a lot in the long run.

17 Drugstore Skincare Finds That Are Totally On-Trend For 2025 (& Really Work!)

As a skincare lover, the skincare industry’s growth continues to amaze me – in 2024, it was valued at $115.65 billion, and is only expected to expand to $122.11 billion in 2025. Even if you’re not looking at the numbers, it’s likely you’ve noticed a boom in the presence of skincare expertise and products buzzing on social media. As time goes on, people are learning more and more about what it takes to take care of their skin, and naturally, certain trends in the skincare realm transform.

While slugging and glass skin routines took center stage in 2024, an entirely new slew of skincare trends are on the rise for 2025. Since I’m a firm believer that you don’t have to shell out a fortune to take care of yourself – especially your skin – I’ve tracked down the best (affordable!) drugstore productsfor every 2025 skincare trend, should you choose to give ‘em a try this year.

Scroll on for 2025’s top skincare trends, plus the 17 best drugstore products you can use to achieve them.

Shiny Diamond / PEXELS

1. Upcycled ingredients

Alec Batis, CEO and co-founder of Sweet Chemistry, confirmed to Popsugarthat upcycled ingredients will be “gaining significant traction” in 2025.

Upcycled ingredients favor the health of the environment since they repurpose elements that might otherwise be considered as waste. Univar Solutions notes that olive oil, coconut, and coffee are a few of the most popular upcycled ingredients for producing skincare formulas like scrubs, oils, and cleansers.

In conjunction with this first 2025 skincare trend, I predict that eco-friendly skincare products will continue to rise, which not only includes 100% vegan and animal cruelty-free formulas (shout out e.l.f.), but also products with recycled packaging (Lush is my go-to) or ones with “refillable” features, like the ones below.

Amazon

Vegan and cruelty-free: e.l.f. Holy Hydration! Face Cream

This lightweight $13 face cream hydrated with evening niacinamide, nourishing hyaluronic acid, and boosting peptides. It even provides an extra layer of protection against harmful UV rays with SPF 30.

Ulta

Vegan and cruelty-free: Pacifica Vegan Collagen Overnight Recovery Cream

This $12 face cream is fully vegan and cruelty-free. It's packed with moisturizing ingredients and even antioxidants that work against free radicals that cause pore blockages and breakouts.

Amazon

Refillable: Aveeno Calm + Restore Nourishing Oat Facial Cleanser Refill Pouch

This $15 refill pouch of Aveeno cleanser takes it real easy on the skin with a milky gel texture and a gentle formula that's suitable for all skin types.

Kaboompics / PEXELS

2. Peptides on peptides

Peptides have grown to be a total holy grail ingredient when it comes to skincare. They can encourage collagen production, strengthen and protect the skin barrier, and even out skin tone, in addition to other benefits.

While tons of luxury skincare brands like Caudalie and Drunk Elephant have embraced peptides in their products, the trend has trickled down to plenty of drugstore mainstays, too. Cetaphil and CeraVe offer some truly affordable formulas that provide the same benefits as the ones you’d pay $50+ for.

If you’re looking for stronger, healthier skin in 2025, these products are the way to go.

Amazon

For improved firmness, texture, and tone: Cetaphil Healthy Renew Anti Aging Face Serum

This gentle peptide formula does all the things a higher-end product would – for only $15!

Amazon

For a stronger skin barrier: CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream

Made with three essential ceramides and peptides, this $16 night cream helps renew and strengthen your skin's barrier overnight.

Amazon

For anti-aging: Good Molecules Super Peptide Serum

This $12 serum is packed with several different kinds of peptides to help target fine lines and wrinkles. If anti-aging products are your jam, you've got to try this.

Cottonbro Studio / PEXELS

3. All things anti-wrinkle

Howard Sobel, MD, told Popsugarthat preventative Botox treatments are in "tremendous demand,” especially among Gen Z-ers. These treatments typically have to do with all things anti-wrinkle.

Though there’s no drugstore solution for injectables like Botox, there’s no shortage of affordable formulas geared toward preventing wrinkles before they drive deep. Most notably, products with retinols can help your skin generate more collagen and elastin, providing a stronger structure against wrinkles and fine lines.

Check out the best drugstore formulas below.

Amazon

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Face Moisturizer Cream

This $22 bottle filled with potent retinol and hyaluronic acid helps hydrate the skin and target wrinkles for a more youthful appearance.

Amazon

Differin Acne Treatment Gel + Retinoid Treatment

This popular $19 (pack of two) pick employs retinol to encourage a faster cell turnover rate, which can help prevent new acne from forming and even out texture like fine lines and wrinkles.

Amazon

Eucerin Pro-Retinol Night Cream

For just $13, this retinol-infused night cream helps hydrate your skin and reduces the look of fine lines while you sleep.

Kaboompics / PEXELS

4. Mineral sunscreen > chemical sunscreen

Also known as physical sunscreen, mineral sunscreen will eclipse chemical sunscreen formulas in popularity this year. Bobbi Brown, renowned makeup artist and founder of both Bobbi Brown Cosmetics and Jones Road Beauty, recently told Harper’s Bazaarthat it’s “going to be big in 2025.”

While chemical sunscreen formulas tend to soak into the skin to block harmful UV rays, mineral sunscreen formulas include physical components that sit on top of the skin to prevent UV damage. This element can be especially beneficial for people with sensitive skin!

Not all mineral sunscreens are made the same, though. It’s common for formulas to leave a white cast after application, as well as have ingredients that aren’t necessarily kind to the environment. Look for sunscreens with SPF 30 or more, zinc oxide in the formula, plus labels indicating that they’re “reef-safe.” As far as the white cast goes, these drugstore mineral sunscreens also leave your skin protected from the sun’s rays without a noticeable trace.

Amazon

Neutrogena Clear Breakout-Free Liquid Sunscreen

This $15 tube is non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores that lead to pesky breakouts.

Amazon

CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion

CeraVe's sunscreens are so good. This $16 lotion adds an extra dose of skincare with hyaluronic acid and ceramides, in addition to the SPF 30.

Amazon

Hawaiian Tropic Weightless Hydration Sunscreen

This $21 pick sits on the skin so lightly, but still provides beneficial sun protection with SPF 30.

Olha Ruskykh / PEXELS

5. Décolletage care

The décolletage area – AKA your neck and chest where the skin is thinner and typically harder to treat with skincare products – will shift into the limelight when it comes to 2025 skincare trends.

The décolletage area can be especially sensitive to sun damage, pigmentation, and dryness, and skincare fiends of all kinds will be attuned to caring for it in 2025. You don’t necessarily need décolletage-specific products to help lift, smooth, and firm the skin there.

Products with hyaluronic acid, peptides, and chemical exfoliants like AHAs that you typically use on your face will also keep the area bright, tight, and healthy. Check out these drugstore finds that’ll treat your neck and chest right.

Amazon

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, Multi-Depth Hydration Serum

This tiny (but mighty) $10 bottle packs a punch for your skin by hydrating, plumping, and smoothing out unwanted texture and wrinkles.

Amazon

COSRX AHA + BHA Treatment Toner

Chemical exfoliants like AHA and BHA help refresh your skin by dissolving dead skin cells, giving newer, fresher skin the opportunity to soak in all the benefits from the rest of your skincare routine. This $19 toner formula works well for your face and décolletage area.

Amazon

6. Passive patches

I predict that the abundance of pimple patch peel videos on everyone’s Instagram discover pages won’t be going anywhere in 2025. Not only are pimple patches super satisfying by nature (that peel though!), they’ve become the ultimate skincare accessory, thanks to brands like Starface. Plus, breakouts are always going to be a skin concern, no matter who you are (or your skin type).

Pimple patches aren’t the only patches on the skincare market, though. Patch brands like Frownies have engineered their products to smooth and lift everything from forehead wrinkles to smile lines. Beloved brand Hero Cosmetics even just launched a new big patch for body breakouts.

Any kind of skincare patch allows you to passively treat your personal skin concerns, which plays into the 2025 trend Harper’s Bazaar calls “the simplification of self-care.”

So, don’t be afraid to rock a patch or two! These drugstore finds will give you the perfect peel.

Amazon

Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Original

Ah, a classic. These $20 hydrocolloid patches effectively draw out impurities from whiteheads and help protect active breakouts from the elements (dirt, dust, germs, and grime) by providing an impenetrable barrier.

Amazon

Starface Hydrocolloid Pimple Patches

These stylish $11 patches do the same exact thing, though you'll feel uber-cool wearing 'em since they're star-shaped.

Amazon

Hero Cosmetics Mighty Body Patch

If you tend to break out on your bod, these $15 XL-sized patches immediately come to the rescue.

14 Amazing TV Shows FINALLY Returning In February 2025

I'm pouring the champagne (or sparkling grape juice) and whipping up some mini donuts because Valentine's season means it's time to cozy up with the true love of my life: these new TV shows. January got us in the romantic mood with series like Hallmark's first ever dating series Small Town Setup, but these February TV shows celebrate all kinds of relationships, milestones, and adventures...and they're even getting me in the mood for spring!
