Hey there,
Thanks so much for taking the time to share how you feel—it’s completely understandable. If Milk is the tone that reflects your own skin, it makes sense that you’d want that option in a Smart Doll girl.
At the same time, we also hear from folks with darker skin tones who feel similarly underrepresented—especially considering the wide variety of lighter tones already available across the market. That’s why we’ve chosen to focus our limited resources on areas where representation is still lacking, while aligning in spirit with makers who already do a great job offering pale skin tones—like Volks, Azone, Angel Philia, and Obitsu.
When we suggest other brands, it’s not about deflecting—it’s about recognizing that we’re part of a broader ecosystem. While we can’t offer every option ourselves, we hope that together with other makers, people can find something that truly resonates.
It’s not about valuing one tone over another—it’s about helping to bring more balance to the landscape. And we’re grateful to everyone who shares their thoughts and hopes with us—like you just did.
While we may not be able to offer every tone all the time, we remain committed to making this space more inclusive.
