Nature’s Comforting Touch: Discover the Soothing power Of Cica in Baby’s Delicate Skin
Cuddling your little one – pure bliss, right? But for many moms, that joy can be overshadowed by a wave of worry when she sees tiny red patches, dry and flaky skin, or rashes on their baby’s delicate skin.

But take a deep breath, mama! These skin imperfections are often just milestones in your baby’s skin development journey. Their skin barrier (think of it as their protective shield against the world) is still developing. This makes it more susceptible to reactions to temperature changes, humidity, friction from clothing, and even their movements.

This sensitivity can lead to dryness and irritation, causing discomfort for your little one. But don’t fret. There are simple steps you can take to help soothe and protect their budding skin barrier.

Transforming Skin Oh-Nos to Happy Coos: Your Baby’s Everyday Skincare Routine

Creating a nurturing skincare routine is simpler than you might think. Here are some of the first steps you can take to support and strengthen your baby’s underdeveloped skin barrier.
1. Hydration is Key. Breastmilk or formula is key to keeping your baby well-hydrated, which plumps up the skin and prevents dryness.
2. Dress for Comfort. Opt for soft, loose-fitting clothes that allow the skin to breathe and prevent irritation from rough fabrics.
3. Limit Baths. Frequent baths can strip away natural oils. So when dryness or irritation strikes, skip a bath and shift to gentle cleansing.
4. Ditch the Harsh Chemicals: Look for baby-specific products free of parabens, phthalates, silicones, and other harmful ingredients that can disrupt your baby’s delicate skin barrier. Remember, a quick label check is your best friend!
5. Embrace Natural Solutions. Look for products specifically formulated for babies crafted with safe and natural ingredients that support a healthy skin barrier.
A-B-Cica to Healthy Baby Skin: Gentle Solutions for Soothing Comfort

If you’re searching for ways to nurture your baby’s delicate skin and promote a healthy skin barrier, the answer might lie in nature’s embrace. Meet Centella Asiatica, or Cica for short! This wonder plant boasts a 3,000-year history in folk medicine. Nicknamed “Tiger Grass” (legend has it tigers use it to heal their wounds!), Cica has long been valued in traditional Asian medicine for its ability to soothe irritated skin and promote wound healing. Even today, this natural powerhouse continues to impress, trending in adult skincare for its calming and soothing properties.

Cica isn’t just a fad, though! Human Nature recognizes its potential to comfort and protect even the most delicate skin—minus the harmful chemicals.

Here’s where Cica truly shines for your baby’s skin:

Alleviates Dryness: It helps draw and retain moisture in your baby’s skin, combating dryness and keeping it feeling soft and supple.

Boosts Hydration: Cica helps strengthen the skin barrier, preventing precious moisture from escaping and keeping your baby’s skin hydrated throughout the day.

Calms and Comforts: Known for its soothing properties, Cica calms irritation and repairs rough, dry, red patches. By addressing these concerns, Cica can help you keep your baby calm and comfy.

Now you can harness the power of nature to nurture your baby’s delicate skin with Human Nature’s Natural Cica Baby Wash & Lotion:

Step 1: Cleanse Gently with Natural Cica Baby Wash

Our gentle wash effectively cleanses your baby’s delicate skin without stripping natural oils. Cica soothes and protects from dryness, while natural cleansers gently remove dirt and impurities.This leaves your baby’s skin feeling clean, refreshed, and safe – free from harmful chemicals.

Based on a consumer panel test, 9 out of 10 agreed that the Natural Cica Baby Wash made skin feel moisturized, soft, and smooth and 10 out for 10 reported no irritation/adverse reaction and no skin dryness!

Step 2: Hydrate Deeply with Natural Cica Baby Lotion

Our lotion, infused with Cica, deeply hydrates your baby’s tender skin. Cica strengthens the skin barrier and locks in moisture, protecting against dryness. Plus, a nourishing blend of Sunflower oil, Avocado oil and Aloe Vera leaves your little one’s skin feeling soft and smooth – all while being gentle and free from harmful chemicals.

Embrace worry-free cuddles and support your baby’s developing skin with this gentle routine, powered by nature’s soothing Cica. When baby’s at ease, Mommy’s at peace!

Ocean Month 2023: Embrace ‘Human Nature’ and Prioritize Our Oceans

Our unique blue planet is 70% water, and more than 95% of life on Earth is aquatic. Astoundingly, our oceans are responsible for absorbing 90% of global warming’s heat and 30% of CO2 emissions, while providing over half the oxygen we breathe. However, despite our dependence on the oceans, their health is declining due to increasing plastic waste, a crisis impacting the globe.

With an acute awareness of its environmental footprint, the social enterprise Human Nature is ramping up its commitment to sustainability. They aim to embed the care of our oceans into the ‘human nature’ of every Filipino.

The Battle of Our Age: Convenience Versus the Environment

Our reliance on single-use plastics is a pressing issue in the Philippines. Within a take-make-dispose economy, Filipinos utilize approximately 212 million sachets, shopping bags, and plastic bottles daily. This spotlights the tight spot consumers find themselves in, choosing between convenience and the environment.

Who is currently taking the lead?

An interview in June 2023 revealed a disheartening truth. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) conceded that the Philippines is losing the war against single-use plastics. DENR Undersecretary Jonas Leones reported that the country generates 61,000 metric tonnes of solid waste per day, 12% of which is plastic. This is equivalent to 7,090 metric tonnes, roughly the size of 63 blue whales. According to Our World in Data, the Philippines contributes over a third of the ocean’s plastic pollution.

Embedding Ocean Care into ‘Human Nature’

Like today’s youth, Human Nature understands the necessity of ocean conservation. Consequently, they continually develop strategies to be part of the solution. Moreover, they create initiatives that loyal customers can also participate in and contribute to.

With the support of its customers, Human Nature has successfully kept about 37 tonnes of plastic bottles (over one-third the size of a blue whale) out of the ocean. This translates to over 1.2 million pieces of 200ml and 2.7 million pieces of 50ml bottles saved as of May 2023.

You can join Human Nature’s mission to decrease plastic waste through these initiatives:

REFUSE THE BOTTLE

Human Nature encourages its consumers to switch to solid and go plastic bottle-free! What started with shampoo bars in 2019 has now expanded to solid format variants for its personal care, home care, and beauty categories.

Both of Human Nature’s bar and powder products are natural, effective, and free from harmful chemicals. It is also a bang for the buck as shoppers can save money while being allies for the ocean. In fact, one 35g shampoo bar is equal to a 250ml bottle of liquid shampoo while the 70g bar option amounts to around 500ml of its liquid counterpart–extending one’s savings to up to P224.94. Check out the brand’s wide range of plastic bottle-free products here.

REDUCE THE BOTTLE

Customers can also opt to upsize to 1-liter or even 1-gallon bottles of their favorite Human Nature shampoos, body washes, sanitizers, hand soaps, liquid detergents, and more. By doing so, they can save up to P199 and lessen plastic usage by up to 71%.For Human Nature products that offer upsized versions, visit this link.

REFILL THE BOTTLE

Staying true to their core advocacy on sustainability, Human Nature’s Co-founder and President Anna Meloto-Wilk championed the signature drive for Mainstream Refilling–a petition to create safe, sustainable, and accessible refilling stations. Human Nature’s home care refilling stations are available at its flagship store in Commonwealth Ave., SM The Block, SM Megamall, SM North Edsa, Festival Mall, Glorietta, Ayala Malls Feliz, and Trinoma.

RECYCLE THE BOTTLE

Human Nature began its recycling initiatives in as early as 2010 and has been actively looking to partner with groups who can reuse or repurpose plastic materials. In 2022 and as part of its Balik-Bote Recycling Program, the brand partnered with Plastic Flamingo (PLAF) to transform its bottles into eco-lumber to be used as construction material for shelters, street furniture, and other architectural solutions.

To participate, simply drop off clean empty plastic bottles at select Metro Manila Stores.

No water, no life. No blue, no green.

Without a doubt, the oceans serve as a life source for humans and there’s no better time than now to step up, raise awareness, and take part in ocean preservation. As veteran oceanographer Sylvia Earle once said, “With every drop of water you drink, every breath you take, you’re connected to the sea. No matter where on Earth you live.”

There’s no better time than the present to get involved, increase awareness, and take tangible steps toward ocean preservation. For a deep blue tomorrow, we must act today.

To learn more about how you can support Human Nature and its remarkable ocean-friendly initiatives, visit their website here. The ocean is in our hands, and together, we can ensure its longevity for future generations. Let’s make it human nature to put our oceans first!

Shopping for daily care essentials but feeling the effects of inflation? Human Nature’s got your back!

This new year means another opportunity for us to make wais choices—may they be for our health and wellbeing, our homes, or the planet. This is a must-have skill for Filipino consumers especially nowadays when the effects of inflation are just too real not to feel.

Enjoy up to Php 130 off when you purchase your favorite daily essentials at Human Nature

Feeling it yet? According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, domestic inflation soared to 8.1 percent last December, marking the country’s highest inflation in 14 years. What does this mean for us consumers? The Department of Trade and Industry says that we can expect prices of daily necessities to increase early this year.

NGL, we have already been seeing prices of goods skyrocket even before Christmas. This is a challenge that’s been prompting many of us to be wais and tighten our belts. Don’t you agree? However, as a result, most of our consumer choices involve sacrificing quality for affordability.

But don’t fret! We can always start somewhere. Brands and consumers alike can take steps to support one another as we try to stay afloat.

Rising up together amid rising costs

To help ease the burden of the rising costs of goods, local brand Human Nature does its part by rolling back prices of our 33 favorite daily skin, hair, and home care essentials by as much as 20 percent effective on January 13, 2022. (Yes, you read it right!).

Wanna be wais as you take care of your household? Buy more while saving more by purchasing our hand soaps, liquid detergent, baby care, and hair care products and enjoy up to Php 130 price slash

—insta-FORDA-ble! Pamper yourself too by copping our face care must-haves like cleanser, mist, and moisturizer and enjoy as much as Php 45 off.

Want to experience the #SunflowerPower on your skin? You can now also enjoy the 25 miracles of Human Nature’s cult-classic Sunflower Beauty Oil products starting at Php 184.75 only! Scrub your stress away with our discounted body scrubs and reveal your skin’s glorious glow with our power potions–our natural lotions!

As they say, “hindi kailangan mahal magmahal.” You can still make consumer choices with care and without compromise. At Human Nature, we are committed to keeping our household staples af-FORDA-ble for Filipinos while still maintaining our promise of world-class quality, genuinely natural products free from harmful chemicals.

Supporting local brands helps raise up our local economy—and what’s even better is that when you buy from Human Nature, you also support living wages to hundreds of workers and uplift farmers through local sourcing at fair trade prices. This is not just wais for the pocket but also wais for the health and the heart because you get to raise others up as you buy natural, healthier products for yourself at lower prices.

Skin care or skin scare: Your daily cosmetic and personal care products may be hiding health risks

How many red flags did you ignore only to find yourself hurting more?

Discerning whether the products you use are nourishing or noxious is the first step to real skin care

Ouch! But we get you, sis! It’s easy to get carried away by the great promises and ignore the warning signs until it’s too late. But remember: you deserve better! Small compromises may lead to bigger ones and will keep you stuck in the toxicity. Avoiding risks to guard your peace is always worth it.

Almost everything can carry red flags, not just relationships. Some are even hiding behind our favorite and most-used beauty and skincare products (uh-oh)!

Natural or NOT-ural?

REAL TALK: It’s easy to fall for highly raved-about skincare products when you see great reviews with buzzwords like “natural,” “holy grail,” and “sustainable.” It’s understandable—we only want the best for our skin and take cues from others’ experiences. However, these products—no matter how appealing—may still contain toxic chemicals that build up into real and serious risks for your body, your family, and even the environment.

To help Filipinos combat disinformation and make wise choices as consumers, Human Nature, the pioneer brand of effective, safe, and affordable genuinely natural products, encourages the habit of doing the 3Rs—READ the label, REPLACE unsafe products with Philippines’ genuinely natural ones, and RAISE AWARENESS—one step at a time.

To keep or to skip?

Human Nature encourages Filipino consumers to make it a habit to read product labels

Looking for the right skincare products is pretty much like looking for your right match (free from red flags, of course!). To help you find your “The One”, here are the top most common harmful ingredients to keep an eye out for in product labels, and their natural counterparts.

Red Flag #1: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS/SLES)

Don’t you just love it when your face wash, soap, or shampoo creates a foamy lather? While it sounds fun, what’s sad is that these suds are usually caused by SLS. This harsh chemical may strip your skin and hair of essential moisture, cause irritation, and make them dry.

✅Natural counterparts: Gentler, non-stripping surfactants like sodium cocoyl isethionate (coconut-oil-derived) and decyl glucoside (coconut-derived). Try products like Nourishing Facial Wash and Strengthening Shampoo.

Red Flag #2: Parabens

Preserving a toxic, long-term relationship is not worth it if it puts you at serious risk. Just like how parabens prolong the shelf life of common skincare and cosmetic products, but may cause irritation and allergic reactions. They are also known as endocrine disruptors and may weaken the immune system.

✅ Natural counterparts: Plant-derived preservatives like rosemary essential oil, gluconolactone (from corn), and glyceryl caprylate (coco, palm, and glycerin derived). Try our Cooling Body Cleanser and Feminine Wash Bar.

Red Flag #3: Mineral oil

Another red flag is mineral oil, which is used in lotions, moisturizers, and makeup removers. While it’s known to lock in moisture to heal dry or irritated skin, it can also clog pores, suffocate the skin, and damage the skin barrier.

✅ Natural counterparts: Cocoa butter, virgin coconut oil, sunflower oil, avocado oil, passion fruit oil, and castor oil. Consider products like Sunflower Beauty Oil, Natural Healthy Lotion, and Marine Caviar HydroMiracle Moisturizer.

Red Flag #4: Silicone

Usually found in conditioners and hair styling products, silicone is also a no-no in skin and hair care. While it can make your hair look silky and healthy, this harmful ingredient coats skin and hair like plastic, which may lead to clogged pores as well as speed up skin aging.

✅ Natural counterparts: Cocoa butter, virgin coconut oil, sunflower oil, avocado oil, passion fruit oil, castor oil. Opt for silicone-free creams like Radiant Grace Night Cream, Moisturizing Conditioner, and Hair Revival Coco Mask.

Red Flag #5: Lake dyes/FD&C colors

A product looks natural but has striking colors? It most likely contains an added synthetic dye! Lake dyes in personal care products may contain contaminants which may be neurotoxic, possibly carcinogenic, and may cause skin irritations.

✅Natural counterparts: Mineral oxide pigments. Opt for natural and nourishing makeup like Blush & Bloom Color Cream and Made to Bloom.

Choosing beauty without risk

Filipino scientists uphold the highest and strictest standards at Human Nature’s Natural Care Labs

Ever since we started in 2008, we have been conscientiously committed to ensuring that no harmful chemicals slip into our formulations. From research to formulation and production to distribution, Human Nature upholds the strictest standards for naturalness, human safety, and environmental responsibility. Since we use natural ingredients, our microbial safety standard is also set 100 times higher than the local industry’s. Likewise, our products aren’t only natural but also cruelty-free and environmental-friendly

Why risk it when you can choose beauty, safety, and health at the same time? Start choosing products that promise you more than just beauty! All it takes is for you to read the label, replace unsafe products with natural alternatives, and raise awareness.

Tara, let’s #SwitchToNatural and be #MoreThanJustBeautiful

#GlowWithGoodness: All the Ways Human Nature’s Newest Face Bars Will Work Wonders for Your Skin
Say it with me: great skin starts with clean skin.

Without proper cleansing, your face would be left with traces of dirt, oil and makeup, leading to dull skin, clogged pores, and breakouts. Worse, it makes it harder for your skin to absorb whatever product you’ll be putting on next, whether that’s skincare or makeup. You know that feeling when your moisturizer just… sits on top of your face and your makeup just simply refuses to blend? Ugh! But don’t worry, we might have just what you need.

A fresh take on face cleansing

The practicality of bar soaps meets the functionality of face cleansers.
Introducing Human Nature’s Sunflower and Balancing Face Bars

Don’t let dead skin cells dull your glow. Get rid of gunk and reveal your radiance with Human Nature’s latest skincare innovation: vitamin-rich Sunflower Face Bar (₱179.75) and Balancing Face Bar (₱179.75) packed with skin-loving goodness that will surely make every wash feel like a treat.

Specially formulated to care as it cleans,they come with a myriad of benefits your skin (and the planet) will definitely thank you for:
1. It’s formulated to fit your skin type
Not all bars are created equal, and thankfully so. Skincare isn’t one-size-fits-all, so it’s important to know what type of cleanser your skin needs.

If you’re after that next level natural glow, your best bet is our fan-favorite 96.26% Natural Sunflower Face Bar.

Made with nutrient-rich moringa and infused with our bestselling Sunflower Beauty Oil (more on that later!) that helps brighten and moisturize, this hydration powerhouse is perfect for those who have normal and dry skin types looking for that extra moisture boost.

Need something more mattifying? Don’t worry, our Balancing Face Bar is made just for you. (And yes, to answer the question on your mind, it’s the bar-version of our well-loved Balancing Facial Wash!)

Made for combination to oily skin, 95.76% Natural Balancing Face Bar is formulated to keep your face fresh and free from shine as it helps balance skin oils and lifts away impurities by exfoliating your skin gently. Enjoy non-drying cleansing and keep excess oil in check for up to 4 hours!

Both bars are pH-balanced within the recommended level of 4.5 to 5.5, so you don’t have to worry about it messing up your skin barrier and acid mantle.

2. It’s packed with vitamins… and more

Bar soaps often get a bad rap for being overly drying to the skin, but with miracle moisturizer Sunflower Beauty Oil as our Sunflower Face Bar‘s main ingredient, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Rich in Vitamins A, C, and D, Sunflower Beauty Oil helps nourish, hydrate, and brighten skin to keep it glowing and healthy-looking. It also helps increase skin barrier strength to decrease skin dryness, darkening, and irritations. And it doesn’t stop there!

Our Sunflower Face Bar also has cocoa butter that replenishes skin’s moisture, antioxidant Vitamin E that helps protect against free radicals, and of course, as mentioned earlier, nutrient-rich moringa that not only helps stimulate skin collagen but also deeply conditions the skin to help you stay fresh and glowing with every wash.

Meanwhile, our Balancing Face Bar boasts of its oil-controlling and purifying properties, with zinc lactate that helps reduce skin sebum levels, aloe vera that helps soothe skin, glycerin that ensures non-drying cleansing, and coconut butter which is rich in lauric acid that has natural antibacterial properties. Truly, it’s an oily girl’s dream come true!

3. It targets clogged pores

Made with loofah and bamboo scrubs, the Balancing Face Bar gently exfoliates skin to help remove dead skin and unclog pores, while the Sunflower Face Bar contains the well-known pore purifier kaolin clay to remove excess oil and impurities. The result? Clean pores and clear skin!

4. It’s genuinely natural and absolutely free from harmful chemicals

While many regular bar soaps contain harmful chemicals such as SLS/SLES, PEGs, and parabens that are linked to skin irritation, allergic reactions, and hormone imbalance, our face bars are at least 95% natural, made with no harmful chemicals, vegan, and cruelty-free–never testing on animals and never including animal ingredients.

5. And we ditched the plastic bottle!

Not only are these bars good for your skin, they’re easy on the environment, too!

The amount of plastic in the ocean is expected to double in the next 15 years. If we don’t do anything about it, there will be more plastic than fish in the sea by 2050.* Our planet needs all the help we can get, which is why our face bars are especially made to reduce plastic by 98.9%**. And good news!

There’s No Stopping You This Summer with Human Nature’s Essentials for the Season
In a tropical country like the Philippines, summer, or the hot dry season from March to May is widely anticipated by Filipino families and good friends. Since the Coronavirus outbreak, vacationing at the beach, visiting cooler provinces, and making time for outdoor hobbies are slowly becoming enjoyable again. And with more vaccinated individuals and more activities open to the public today, this year’s summer is looking a lot brighter than last year.

Hot summer days call for essentials that cool, moisturize, and protect. And because You Can’t Stop Summer, we’ll be seeing ourselves more in the great outdoors — the warmth of the sun kissing (and tanning!) our skin, reuniting with friends we missed so much, and making more wonderful memories! While being under the warmth of the sun sounds like a lot of fun, it can also dehydrate our skin and hair! We must also make sure we nourish and care for ourselves with only nature’s best! That’s why we’re completing your summer shopping list with cooling, moisturizing, and protective bath and body favorites for all your warm weather adventures!

We have cooling essentials that play to the warmer days by serving as a cool breeze that instantly perks up any mood.
