Humanrace Debuts New Suncare Line

Pharrell Williams’ skincare line adds sun protection to their list of products. 

Pharrell Williams company Humanrace is expanding their interests. Having an established skincare line and clothing line, the brand now looks into the world of suncare. The Ozone Face Protection Daily Moisturizer and Ozone Body Protection Cream are the new suncare products.

Applying a daily SPF is essential to protecting your body from the sun. This is why the new Ozone Face Protection Daily Moisturizer and Ozone Body Protection Cream are SPF 30. Additionally, the two products are broad spectrum and have mineral-based formulations. Humanrace aims to make products that are high quality and put the needs of the consumer first. For their new line, Humanrace developed each product through the lens of their high skincare standards, and ensured that quality and user-experience came first. 

“Our Earth’s Ozone layer naturally protects us from harmful UV radiation from the sun, but we still need to protect ourselves daily from the UV rays that get through. We believe there is room under the sun for everyone, and we all need to be wearing sunscreen daily,” said Williams.

Working to hydrate and protect the skin, the Ozone Face Protection Daily Moisturizer uses non-nano zinc oxide and the signature Snow Mushroom Extract. The moisturizer provides Blue Light Protection as well, which protects skin from the damaging effects of starting at a screens. The Ozone Body Protection Cream uses the same Snow Mushroom Extract and non-nano zinc oxide. It’s a water-resistant formula and has Squalane that helps to moisturize and protect the body. 

The collection is developed in consultation with Williams’ own Dermatologist, Dr. Elena Jones MD. Not only is the brand working towards making sun protection easy, its working to address the misconceptions of sunscreen use for people of color. “The biggest misconception is that deeper skin tones don’t need sunscreen, but not matter what color your skin is, all skin tones need a daily sunscreen, rain or shine. I have patients everyday asking what they should be doing to care for their skin, the easiest thing to do is start wearing sunscreen daily,” said Dr. Jones. 

Having the Humanrace Suncare line mineral-based is an important factor for the brand, as mineral-based sunscreens protect the environment. Dr. Jones ensures users that they will get the same protection with a mineral-based product as you do with a chemical based product. Both products protect skin from UVA and UVB rays due to their SPF of 30. Humanrace has also achieved a PA ++++ rating for both formulations, which ensures ‘extremely high UVA protection.’ 

Both products stay true to Humanrace’s ethos of design and innovation. The new line continues the brand’s commitments to accessible and responsible product. Both products feature custom packaging and introduce a new vibrant orange colorway. Made with over 50% post-consumer recycled landfill plastic, both products are refillable and reduce the need for single-use plastic. Both formulations are consistent with the Humanrace standards, and are EU compliant, vegan, cruelty-free and fragrance-free. 

The Humanrace Suncare line is the final step to the Humanrace face and body routines. The new products launch in the US and EU on July 14, 2022. Plans to expand to other countries are in the works, and are expected to happen in the near future. Humanrace Suncare will be available on the Humanrace website and at select retail partners.
