N2B4B (Not Too Broke For Beauty) is a wellness-driven beauty brand founded by Francelys Infante, whose story of survival and transformation is behind the product launch. Rooted in a mission to empower women to prioritize their health, dreams, and beauty rituals, N2B4B debuted this month with Glow Fuel, a premium liquid collagen supplement, available at the brand’s website.
Collagen is having its moment.
The global collagen market size was estimated at $10,376.1 million in 2024 and is projected to reach $26,213 million by 2033, according to Grand View Research. Collagen has gained attention as a protein that supports skin elasticity, joint health, and overall wellness.
After surviving a near-fatal health crisis in November 2023—three ruptured brain aneurysms—Infante redefined her priorities, dedicating her life to championing women's wellness, emotional education, and the power of intentional self-care.
"N2B4B was born from the most vulnerable chapter of my life," says Infante. "After facing a near-death experience, I realized beauty is not about perfection, it's about realizing that even when you have cracks, you're not too broken to be beautiful. Often, us women give endlessly of ourselves to spouses, children, family, friends and so on, leaving little time for us, even when we are dealing with our own struggles and imperfections. This brand is my love letter to every woman who ever felt this way to remind them they also deserve self-care and I'm honored to be a part of their rituals by sharing some of mine."
Not Too Broke For Beauty is built on the belief that luxurious self-care shouldn't come at the cost of accessibility. Reflecting this ethos, the brand's packaging draws inspiration from Kintsugi—the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold—symbolizing resilience, healing, and the beauty found in imperfection.
The product is packaged and sold in a 30-count box of single-serve 1-ounce packets. Primarily, this packaging size allows for convenient portion control, making it easier for consumers to use the product without having to measure or store large quantities. But the packets are also designed to improve the pleasant tropical mango taste by keeping each serving as fresh as possible.
“Single-serve packets are well-suited for on-the-go lifestyles, offering a practical solution for consumers who value convenience. This format can also help reduce waste by providing exactly what is needed for a single serving,” says Infante.
Grand View research echoes this sentiment, stating that the availability of convenient formats, such as powders, capsules, and enriched drinks, makes these products accessible and easy to integrate into daily life.
The collagen packs from N2B4B are produced and packaged at a contract manufacturing site using automated processes to keep everything “precise, hygienic, and consistent for a product like Glow Fuel.”
