About Us

At Humanrace, we design essential tools for living that support good habits and benefit the mind, body and spirit. We believe that the way our products make you feel when you use them, wear them, or see them in your home is just as important as their function and quality.

Our Ethics

At Humanrace, creating products for a better life means constantly working to improve our methods of making them. We are dedicated to the pursuit of higher quality and greater sustainability in all that we do, challenging industry standards and practices at every stage of our production process.

Ingredient Standards

We craft our clean skincare formulas to the highest standards of quality and transparency, using only the most effective natural and clinical ingredients. Our formulations are vegan, fragrance-free, and cruelty-free, made without the 1,300 skincare ingredients deemed unsafe by the European Union. Our products exclude parabens, essential oils, mineral oils, and silicones, and are made without rocks, nuts, seeds or plastic particles to lower the risk of micro tears. All of our skincare is dermatologist-tested and safe for all skin types.

Sustainability and Packaging

Learn More

We began by crafting our bottles from over 51% post-consumer recycled landfill plastic and getting rid of excess packaging elements. Our FSC-certified recyclable cartons are printed with non-toxic vegetable dyes. Our bottles are designed to be refillable, and we partnered with our manufacturer to adopt a foil-sealing process that eliminates the use of over 1,200 single-use plastic caps per hour during production.

Sustainability & Packaging

We take a holistic approach to creating more sustainable products and packaging. This means reducing waste wherever possible, implementing thoughtful design interventions.

Refills & Subscription

By refilling your products instead of replacing them, you are helping us contribute to a significant reduction in single-use plastics and packaging waste.
