In 2008, two sisters, Camille Meloto and Anna Meloto-Wilk along with her husband, Dylan Wilk, created Human Nature products which would allow them to support local crops as well as the environment. In hopes doing their share to help the Philippines out of poverty, the sisters combined their passion for the environment and cosmetics by supporting local goods, using them in their products.

Human Nature carefully sources natural raw materials from small farms in developing countries and offers fair trade eco-friendly products. The wide assortment of products range from cosmetics to men’s skincare and baby oil and children’s lotion and use all natural ingredients wherever replaceable. All products by the social business are [cruelty-free, biodegradable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skincare-makeup) and [FDA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spatial-computing-simulator) approved.
