Hi there! We're umanos. We believe the little things have a way of shaping the big things. That's why we create responsibly made products that bring together cleaner ingredients, premium performance, thoughtful design, and a positive impact beyond the bottle.
How it started...
Founder, traveler, wellness enthusiast, and lover of adventure. After working in seven countries across four continents in business and philanthropy, I had an idea.
One evening while traveling, I was catching up with my husband when my love for "do-good" products got us talking about something that had been bothering me: why was it still so hard to find personal care that was elevated, sustainable, and approachable?
Too often it felt like a tradeoff. Products were either full of questionable ingredients, packaged in way too much plastic, didn't work great, or just... weren't all that exciting.
I wanted everyday essentials that could keep up. So when I couldn’t find them, I created them.
We take safety and efficacy very seriously. We base all of our product decisions on, “is this safe for our body and does it work?” Our salon-quality hair care and performance-driven body care products are non-toxic, effective, cruelty-free, and made without SLS, SLES, DEA, PEGs, parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances or dyes, silicones, or more than 1300 other suspect ingredients found in most other products.
For us, sustainability is not just about the goop in the bottle or the packaging, it's about all aspects of our business. From where we make our products, to the ingredients we source, to the partners we work, to how we give back. We chase sustainability from every angle. It is a pursuit we know will never end. We learn and improve every day because it's good for the people and places we love, it's good for business, and it's necessary for sticking around for a good long time.
Our mission since day one has been to help people live happy, healthy lives. So with every purchase you make, we give back 1% toward helping end the global water crisis and getting clean water to people without. #WashItForward
