Human Nature aims to change the conversation about many things. We aim to show that the Philippines is world class and that Philippine-made beauty products can be every bit the equal of Korean or French beauty products. We aim to change the beauty conversation from just beauty on the outside to true beauty, which is honest, kind and caring. We aim to change the conversation from just what the latest trendy ingredient is to making sure that our customers know what is safe and unsafe for them in the beauty world. And more… we have a lot to talk about! And we do all this with integrity, while prioritizing Philippine ingredients and while trying to honor God in everything we do (e.g. we pay the living wage and close on Sundays).
