MelanBrand Skin, the dermatologist-approved skincare brand co-founded by mother-son duo Patrice Chappelle and Bron Echols, has officially launched MelanVelvet, believed to be the first ultra-soft disposable facial towels created specifically for kids, pre-teens, and teens with sensitive, growing skin.
While the skincare industry has rapidly expanded for adults, products intentionally designed for children’s daily skincare routines remain limited – especially when it comes to the tools used on delicate skin.
New Self-Help Book “Blame It on the Feel of Pain” About Detangling From Past Pain
Get ready for a transformational journey toward inner peace as indie author Max W. Miller’s new self-help release, Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, inspires readers in a witty, down-to-earth book. Truth and compassion are foretold, using poetic frames called ‘The Wises,’ and the help of opinionated little emojis bringing laughter and thought-provoking conclusions throughout.
The author encourages her readers, whom she also calls partners, to stop wrestling with the hard knocks of the past. She expresses how voluntarily walking back into time precedes trauma healing. Confronting lingering pains is a step toward strength and hope for the future. ‘Blame It’ delves into the author’s life experiences, bringing to life the importance of using Full Circle Moments to find resolutions.
Throughout Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, the reader grows to understand through a unique interpretation that what we are destined to become grows out of the years we’ve already traveled. Further, our future hinges on how we address the pains of the past. Other expressions focus on how desires in the present are carved out of having a clear vision that old, lingering strongholds must be defeated. A history of suffering is a prerequisite for becoming fed up enough to demand enjoyment now!

Traditional bath towels, even when freshly washed, can harbor bacteria, retain moisture, and create friction that disrupts the skin barrier. For children with sensitive or eczema-prone skin, that friction can contribute to irritation, dryness, and breakouts.
MelanVelvet was created to address this overlooked gap.
Designed to be strong when wet and gentle when dry, MelanVelvet helps reduce tugging, minimize irritation, and support a healthier skin barrier. The single-use design promotes improved hygiene by providing a clean towel with every wash – helping families eliminate cross-contamination from shared towels.
MelanVelvet is now available for presale at MelanBrandSkin.com
Orders will begin shipping in March 2026.
“As a mother of a child with sensitive skin, I saw firsthand how even something as simple as a towel could impact his skin,” said Patrice Chappelle, Co-Founder of MelanBrand Skin. “We formulate cleansers carefully – but the tools we use matter just as much. MelanVelvet makes daily skincare safer, cleaner, and gentler for growing skin.”
The Benefits of MelanVelvet
MelanVelvet is more than a disposable towel. It is a skin-first innovation designed to:
• Reduce friction that can compromise delicate skin barriers
• Minimize bacteria exposure through hygienic single-use design
• Support eczema-prone and sensitive skin
• Encourage early, healthy skincare habits
• Provide extra-large coverage without harsh texture
• Offer eco-conscious materials without sacrificing softness
Crafted from biodegradable bamboo fiber, plant fiber, viscose, and cotton, MelanVelvet is FSC-certified, cruelty-free, dermatologist-approved, and compostable where facilities exist – delivering both performance and environmental responsibility.
A Category-Defining Innovation
MelanBrand Skin has built its reputation by centering melanated youth in the skincare conversation – creating dermatologist-approved products specifically for children and teens ages 7-21.
With the introduction of MelanVelvet, the brand continues redefining what intentional skincare looks like for families. In an industry where adult solutions are often adapted for children, MelanVelvet represents a shift toward designing tools specifically for growing skin – not as an afterthought, but as a priority.
“Healthy habits start early,” Chappelle added. “When we give kids tools made for them, we empower confidence, comfort, and long-term skin health.”
