There’s no need to stock multiple shampoos or deodorants when you can order a refill and use the same outer container. I was thrilled to see the mailed package and individual boxes breakdown in my compost bin, and putting the refills to use gets rid of any storage problems you may have with clunky backup products. Their products range from $10-20, which isn't much more than drugstore or supermarket prices in most cases. If being environmentally friendly and conscious of your personal impact is important to you, then by Humankind is a great fit. The product design is sleek, colorful, and muted. The deodorant has earned a place in my purse, so I can freshen up while on the go and not have to worry about using it on wet skin. For now, I like the scent, packaging, and refill option enough to work around the application times.
I did notice that the product would “ball up” during and after workouts, which may be a problem for days I’m really on-the-go. The scent is refreshing and sweet, and it lasts throughout the day.
HUMANKIND REVIEW SKIN
Instead of rolling on (like a gel deodorant) it kind of tugged at my skin without leaving any product, so I prefer to apply it after my skin has dried.
The deodorant was hard to apply when my skin was still wet.
HUMANKIND REVIEW TRIAL
I continued using it for a week after my initial trial with it and eventually opted for a liquid conditioner that was quicker to use and felt more hydrating. My hair felt clean after rinsing, but once I let it dry it was a bit stringy and it seemed like there was still product in my hair. It takes a lot of work to get the product melty enough to apply to the ends of my hair, and the grapefruit scent is pleasant but muted. Unlike the shampoo, the conditioner hasn’t wowed me. The conditioner bar was a creamy pearl color-though it was smaller than I expected. The shampoo bar was a fruity orange color and had “by Humankind” imprinted into it. The shampoo and conditioner bars came with absorbent trays to place them on in the shower, which are important to keep the products dry in between uses. There were no unnecessary packing peanuts or tissue papers, and the size of the package matched the amount within.Īside from feeling happy with the packaging materials, the items themselves were so aesthetically beautiful with muted colors and simplistic typography. The outer package was a “recycled paper parcel” that felt like cardstock paper, and it has since fully broken down in my backyard compost bin! Inside, each item I ordered was individually boxed in simple tan and white boxes (which I think were undyed). I was so impressed with the shipping materials by Humankind used. My order arrived in 100% recycled materials. The goal in supplying just refills instead of the whole product is to help you reduce how much single-use plastic you buy and throw out. In short, you never run out of deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, or any other favorites. That means that by Humankind sources responsibly and offsets the environmental impact of shipping by investing in strategic forest projects that balance the impact of its business.Īfter your first purchase, you’ll have all the containers you’ll need then you can subscribe to the products you want, and it’ll send “Kindfills” (refills) to match your usage (every eight weeks for deodorant and 12 weeks for body wash, for example). It suggests this: “Instead of asking how we can recycle more plastic, let's work together and find ways to consume less of it in the first place.” Orders ship in 100 percent recycled materials and are carbon-neutral. I’ve tried cute shampoo bars that don’t lather and so many natural deodorants that fell flat in hopes of reducing my impact.Įnter by Humankind, a sustainable beauty brand dedicated to providing essentials in just the essentials. So yes, it matters how much you consume! But it’s hard to find everyday household products that are Earth-friendly and get the job done. And less than 10 percent of plastic waste gets recycled. If you did a waste audit, I imagine you’d find that a large percentage of your waste is from single-use plastics, like straws, yogurt cups, shampoo and conditioner bottles, mascara tubes, cleaning product bottles and sprays, and more.
