In a video he posted it said that they would give 1% of their profits to environmental causes. I think it’s pretty tacky that he named it “Selfless” when they’re donating such a small amount. he’s making millions of dollars a year off YouTube ads and affiliate links, he could absolutely afford to give 100% of profits to charity, only then would a name as dramatic as “SELFLESS” be appropriate.

1% of PROFITS means nothing. If it were at least 1% of sales... profits can be manipulated in so many ways accounting-wise, so that the amount that goes to charity can be incredibly small. That's just ridiculous. Some random vegan cream cheese factory in Switzerland donates more & you only find it in the footnotes of their products. No big deal. It's true, the longer you think about it, the bigger the controversy gets.

I said that in different topic about him - he's a self-called skincare specialist, he has no training and when I saw people using Nizoral on face because they saw Hyrams video I was shocked - there are better treatments for Malassezia than Nizoral, also majority of people who think they have fungal acne - they usually have other skin problems, not Malassezia. That's why I'm not a fan of him. I haven't seen launch video, but I'll check it. In general, many brands are bit sharing such information - even huge brands aka clients at the agency I work for, sometimes it's hard for us to get information on recycling and other stuff and it's sad since customers nowadays are well informed about everything.

Honestly I don't know him. I know he's kinda famous on YT/IG. if people are excited about his launch good for them but I think it's a cash grab like most of the recent colabs/launches..

Someone posted this article on Reddit which talks about The Inkey List.

According to this article, TIL is like fast fashion, which is far away from being sustainable. I don’t think I can support them or this brand as it seems phony

yeah theyre definitely bad for the environment because they can't sustainably source their ingredients since they're at such low costs. and they don't have 100% recycled packaging.

he should have launch a brand without being so dramatic about the environment and about being “selfless”
I would have support it 100% if he would have not made all those claims. he wants to be so different but he is not doing it right
