Humanrace: Humidifying Body Cream
The brainchild of singer Pharrell Williams and skincare innovator Rachel Muscat, Humanrace is an all-gender, vegan beauty brand with a mission to ‘empower all people in their pursuit of wellbeing’. Working with dermatologist Dr Elena Jones, the goal was to create products that were as natural as possible and that could be used in everybody’s daily routine.
Its latest product, the Humidifying Body Cream, adheres to exactly that. Tapping into the growing bodycare trend, the cream infuses a blend of bakuchiol (a natural alternative to retinol) and plant peptides to protect the skin barriers, and snow mushroom extract to lock in the skin’s moisture.
As co-founder Muscat tells LS:N Global: ‘Our snow mushroom extract formula contains adaptogens which help to balance and adapt to the users’ unique skin type.’
