Most of you may know Pharrell Williams for his skilful songwriting, some of you for his fashion… but how about celebrating him for his enviable complexion? Alongside his many talents, the American creative is constantly questioned about his successful skin care regime. So back in 2020, when he debuted his very own skin care line under the name Humanrace, it brought music to our ears.
Intrigued? Us too, that’s why we’ve uncovered everything you need to know about the brand – and its passion for preserving skin health.
WHAT IS HUMANRACE SKIN CARE
On a mission to revolutionise the concept of wellbeing through thoughtfully crafted and innovative products that become daily routines, Humanrace believes that nothing is more important to humanity than self care. Brainchild of songwriter, singer, fashion designer and skin care enthusiast Pharrell Williams and his personal dermatologist Dr Elena Jones, the brand puts forward the idea that taking better care of ourselves can teach us to take better care of each other. Made up of award-winning complexion and body care products, the beauty line is rooted in the duo’s 25-year skin care journey. Formulated with high standards of efficacy to deliver results, Humanrace makes achieving a happy, hydrated complexion easy and efficient for all – with the signature Three-Minute Facial leading the way.
THE HISTORY OF HUMANRACE SKIN CARE
Humanrace’s initial inception happen back in 2016, not with skin care but with a pair of Pharrell Williams’ trainers. While labelling his limited-edition footwear range ‘Humanrace’ at ComplexCon, he was asked endless questions about his self care and skin care secrets. Sparking the idea to create his own beauty line out of his own wellbeing experiences, Pharrell joined forces with his personal dermatologist, Dr Elena Jones, to dream up an easy and effective routine that improves your skin and wellness, and the planet. Launching with just three products, Humanrace skin care debuted its line in 2020.
HUMANRACE’S PHILOSOPHY
Born on the belief that a skin care routine is only as effective as your commitment to it, Humanrace creates a focused collection without any unnecessary steps. Allowing you to get the maximum benefits from the time you invest in your skin, its formulas boost balance, confidence and stability. What’s more, looking beyond our daily skin care routines, Humanrace’s solutions symbolise good habits that benefit the mind, body and soul too. Understanding that the things we surround ourselves with have a powerful impact on navigating our life, the brand’s products adopt these same values. By this we mean they’re made to be functional, of good quality and to bring joy to your regime. With that in mind, Humanrace’s collection is considered a necessity… as well as a luxury.
WHAT’S THE SIGNATURE HUMANRACE ROUTINE
Aptly named The Three-Minute Facial, Humanrace’s signature renowned routine is designed to take (you guessed it) three minutes. Dreamt up with simple steps and effective ingredients, it consists of the ultimate triple threat, to boost a healthy and hydrated complexion.
