Pharrell Williams: Humanrace
Pharell Williams launched Humanrace with the mission of empowering people to prioritize their wellbeing. Williams’ products constitute a blend of natural ingredients including charcoal powder and pomegranate enzymes to name a couple— each sourced sustainably along the production process. One of our favorites is this gentle Rice Powder Cleanser, formulated to purify and balance skin.

Jonathan Van Ness: JVN
We all know that Jonathan Van Ness is a true hair connoisseur, and if you haven’t seen his luscious locks, we suggest you head on over to his Instagram page where you’ll find countless tutorials on how he uses his JVN products. One of his favorites— and ours too— is the Complete Pre-Wash Scalp & Hair Treatment Oil, a lightweight oil that you can massage into your scalp to rejuvenate follicles before you wash your hair. Best part about it? It can be used for all hair types, from straight to coily, and even color-treated hair.

Rihanna: Fenty Beauty
When Fenty Beauty came onto the scene, beauty lovers were thrilled to see an inclusive beauty line made for people of all shades and backgrounds.

Its key ingredients include jojoba esters, beeswax, and cornstarch.

Tracee Ellis Ross: Pattern Beauty
In 2018, Tracee Ellis Ross delivered a brand that fit the needs of every person out there with textured hair. From coily to curly, low porosity to high porosity, and even heat damaged to transitioning. Ross essentially developed a hair care line for a rich variety of patterns, and created a curl guide to help people learn more about their hair. If you’re wondering, my personal favorite (and first ever Pattern product that I’ve owned) is the Leave in Conditioner.

Gomez’s Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in the shade True Mauve beautifully enhances your cheeks, and might we add, is a perfect color for the upcoming spring season.

Alicia Keys: Keys SoulCare
If one were to describe Alicia Keys’ essence, we’re almost positive the words calm, peaceful, and refreshing would come up multiple times. So it comes as no surprise that her skincare line emulates just that; it’s a collection of products that inspire soul-nurturing rituals. If you’re in desperate need of reaching a meditative state, try Keys’ Mind-Clearing Body Polish, made with glycolic and lactic acids.

Gwyneth Paltrow: Goop

Don’t worry, it’s not as complex as it sounds. Once a week, simply apply the presoaked pad to your face, neck, and chest before bed, and leave it on overnight.

If the fountain of youth were to be personified, it would be Jennifer Lopez. Her secret ingredient? The beautiful Lopez claims that olive oil has remained her elixir of choice, having slathered it on her skin and hair for as long as she can remember.

11
