(SPOT.ph) It’s easy to support brands that have a cause—like Human Nature. Founded in 2008, the beauty- and personal-care brand employs Gawad Kalinga residents and sources raw materials from local farmers with one goal in mind: to transform the quality of life of those who belong in the poorest sectors.
It’s also good to know that Human Nature doesn’t test their products on animals—and they don’t need to, because all their ingredients are 100% natural. In fact, they were awarded by PETA for being cruelty-free. Apart from that, the homegrown brand has produced a couple of cult-favorite products that have secured a permanent spot on a lot of beauty enthusiasts’ skincare routines. Through the years, Human Nature has expanded their product line—apart from skincare and makeup goodies, they now also have haircare, baby care, oral care, and home care products, to name a few. Plus, pretty much everything is wallet-friendly—it’s rare to see something over P400! If you want to pick up a few items from the local brand but don’t know which ones to check out, then you’re in the right place.
