Humanrace is a line of three completely refillable products that people — of any skin type or color, age or gender — can use alone or in combination with other skin care products. . This is the second category of Humanrace products, following the Humanrace x Adidas sneaker collection. “We are all pluralists,” Williams said. “I think it’s natural for an artist or anyone to choose different mediums or areas to express themselves, turning something they care about into a business. Why you Not Want to apply your artistic lens to some new product, process, experience or design? ”
Williams brought together industry-leading experts and even invited a New York-based dermatologist and his friend, Elena Jones, MD, to help bring the line to life. “We looked at everything from the color, texture and feel of the product on your skin to how the bottle felt in your hand,” he says.
The result is a three-step process for beautiful, youthful skin that’s right for your skin type. “My fourteen-year-old son, Moses, stole him from me; he enjoyed it,” said GP. “It’s the perfect microcosm — skin care that both moms and sons are excited to use.”

All three formulas are fragrance-free, gentle but have a powerful skin-balancing effect and are gender-neutral – a hit for Williams, whose epic style is famous (hot pink cardigan, heaps of hoops). Chanel pearl necklaces, vintage cat-eye sunglasses, giant felt hats) stay away from the binary gender rule. It also includes: “Our packaging has Braille on it,” he said. “How can you be ‘Humanrace’ without braille?”
Humanrace is as clean as possible — in its formula, as well as its mark on the planet. “We want to do things better than right,” Williams said. “Let’s use PCR more [postconsumer recycled plastic] than we made of virgin plastic. Let’s make sure we can refill it. Let’s make sure we go beyond what Europe allows.” Humanrace follows European Union guidelines for the exclusion of ingredients deemed unsafe (1,300 ingredients banned in beauty and personal care products in the EU, out of 11 in total. banned ingredients in the United States), it’s also fragrance-free and vegan, and it contains no essential or mineral oils, nuts, seeds, or plastic particles.
The outer packaging – a beautiful “heart chakra green”, GP notes – contains containers made with more than 50% post-consumer recycled plastic. And the containers are heat sealed, instead of plastic lids, a process that saves about 1,200 single-use plastic caps per hour in the manufacturing process.
“If we’re going to be in this space, we have to make it better than what we’ve found,” Williams said. “And we have to be friendly with other brands, brands that are doing well that we can learn from. We’ll be competing — like we’re running a race, a human race — but we’re not looking to our left and right to beat anyone. We are trying to move forward. And we are pushing things forward.”
