For a few years now, Humanrace has served customers with solutions to prepare, repair and protect their skin, and now, the brand founded by Pharrell Williams is expanding into performance care with two new launches: the Smoothing Body Scrub and the Recovery Body Lotion.
The softening, brightening Smoothing Body Scrub is formulated to gently polish skin with a high-performance blend of physical and chemical exfoliants, including rice particles, and prepare the body for hydration. Complementary to the body scrub, the Recovery Body Lotion is fueled by recovery-focused ingredients like warming ginger root, frankincense, and magnesium.
With the Smoothing Body Scrub and Recovery Body Lotion, Humanrace is evolving from premium skincare to a multi-category performance ecosystem designed to support the body through movement, recovery and daily renewal.
