About Flamingo

With well-designed products and honest conversations at its core, Flamingo launched in 2018 with a suite of products for body hair. Since then, we have expanded our assortment to be the first brand that offers products for every routine: razors, wax strips for face and body, shave gel, body lotion, mons mist, ingrown spot treatment, and tweezers. In February 2019, Flamingo launched at Target stores nationwide, immediately jumping to the top of the bestseller list for razors, wax strips, and shave gel. Our products and campaigns have been covered by outlets like Vogue, Vanity Fair, Elle, and InStyle, and we’ve won major beauty accolades like Allure’s Best in Beauty, Self’s Healthy Beauty Awards, and Women’s Health Beauty Awards. In 2023, we launched our first brand podcast, Unruly, which explores the quiet ways women’s bodies are regulated every day.
