1. About the brand
Everyday Humans: Normalize vegan sunscreens as everyone’s daily skincare, from HK to the world

WHAT:
Everyday Humans is a cruelty-free, vegan, social and eco-conscious sunscreen brand founded in 2018.
WHY:
Charlotte Pienarr, founder of Everyday Humans, wants to reshape the boring and narrow definition of sunscreen products.
Her personal experience also made her realise the importance of UV protection as a daily habit, hence through the brand she wishes to inspire everyone to make sunscreen a daily skincare routine.
HOW:
The brand started with a few hero products of SPF 30 sunscreen serum.
Products are PETA certified, antioxidant-infused (no use of oxybenzone, octinoxate, PABA), a 1% for the Planet member, plastic neutral and climate neutral.
They stress their sunscreen can be applied as body cream while being able to function as a sunscreen.
They also work with organizations to ensure minimal waste during production, and purchase carbon credits to remove them from the atmosphere.
WHAT’S GOING ON NOW:
They recently launched their first skincare product, and entered 700-plus Target stores.
Currently, they are carried by Ulta Beauty, Free People, J.C. Penney, Urban Outfitters and Sephora in eight Asian countries.
