Introduce yourself.
We are an Irish company based in Mullingar, in the heart of Ireland, also known as 'The Lake County'. Human+Kind was created with the mission of making skincare simpler, kinder, and better for both people and the planet.
What inspired you to join the natural health sector?
At Human+Kind we are passionate about caring for our planet and understand the crucial role we play in preserving it. That's why we're committed to crafting affordable, high-quality skincare products with vegan and natural formulations. We wanted to create a skincare range that is not only kind to your skin but also to the planet. Our goal has always been to provide effective skincare solutions without compromising on sustainability, ensuring that every product we make is a step toward a healthier planet.
Where did you get the idea for your brand?
Human+Kind was born out of a desire to simplify beauty routines while making a positive impact. We saw a gap in the market for multi-tasking skincare products that were natural, ethical, and sustainable. Our goal was to offer high-quality, fuss-free skincare that aligns with modern values of sustainability and kindness. We want to help people take care of their skin while also caring for the planet.
What makes your brand unique?
What sets Human+Kind apart is our commitment to sustainability and conscious, clean beauty. Our packaging is made from sugarcane, a carbon neutral and renewable resource that is 100% recyclable. Our formulas are natural, vegan, and cruelty-free, ensuring that every product is as kind to the planet as it is to your skin. With a focus on high-quality, effective skincare, we create products that deliver results while staying true to our ethical values.
