The Humidifying Cream is probably associate beauty director Sarah Kinonen’s favorite among the line.

The subtle dewy finish is just an added bonus.”

But back to Williams.

(In Ni’Kita Wilson’s words: “It all checks out!")

Held in your hand, each product has the satisfying heft of a finely crafted thing.

Williams loves the Earth.

He loves women to the point of religious fanaticism.

“How can a woman be a minority when everybody comes from a woman?”

But, to be clear, he loves you no matter your chromosomes.

Williams' respect for other people is boundless.

He thanks you for your consideration.

He hopes you will purchase Humanrace.
