Is anyone else really bothered by everything surrounding Hyram's skincare launch? The more I think about it the more problematic it is. 

A. It's not very selfless to play into the "white saviorism" complex when he's said before he's gone on a mission trip and how he regretted it for that reason. But in his launch video all I saw was poor POC being exploited for his own profit. 

B. There were hardly any firm promises made on how much of the brand's profits will actually go to supporting these causes. No percentages and firm numbers. correct me if I'm wrong on this but I tried to find the answers in the site's FAQ and got no answers. 

C. His undisclosed relations with The Inkey List for over a year. We don't know how long Hyram has been working with the brand because it was not disclosed (he even launched a Hyram x The Inkey List Changemakers Kit a month ago). If the brand was working with TIL at the same time as he announced Selfless back in March 2020, that means he's made tons of videos without disclosing this relationship. Which he has already done before with brands like YTTP and FAB.

D. He launched the Selfless YouTube channel over a year ago for a giveaway and said the channel was going to be a cause to change the world, but never posted about it again until recently to launch his own skincare line. Zero videos since the launch of his giveaway and YouTube channel since that giveaway. That just seems very shady to me that he couldn't even post any videos about environmental causes before this launch because he couldn't be bothered?

Am I missing anything else that's off about this launch? Let me know!

Edit: someone just pointed out the product that just dropped too. $30 for a simple hydrating retinol serum?

Hyram's Selfless Controversy

I was quite late for uploading my Elmt review ( a week late ) because I only had maybe 2 weeks to try and I felt like it wasn't enough time. Does picky actually penalize you if you apologized in the Google form for being late testing out the product 😭

Question on Uploading Reviews

My favorite mask! I love the smell and how gentle it is. It&#39;s my go to for any occasion

Maybe not hydrating enough for drier skin types

I love using this gel in the mornings as a moisturizer underneath my spf

I wish it were a bit thicker for my dry skin

The perfect gel cream. Smells calming and is a good hydrating moisturizer

It can be messy and hard to get out of clothes

A great mask no matter the skin type. A little goes a long way!

A little sticky layered under my moisturizer and I didn&#39;t notice it did anything in the short amount of time I tried it

Very interesting product that&#39;s different from others I&#39;ve tried before.
