Mankind

Mankind, an online retailer for men's grooming and beauty

Mankind is a British online shop specialising in men's grooming, toiletries and beauty products. Its catalogue is organised around the routines it serves rather than a single product line: shaving, hair, skin, body, fragrance and dental care, plus a section of offers and an outlet. The site is operated by THG Beauty Limited under the domain mankind.co.uk.

Shaving and beard care

The shaving section is divided into tools and beard care. Among the tools, the catalogue lists razors and blades, beard brushes and combs, and shaving gift sets. Beard care covers shaving cream, shaving soap, shaving oil, aftershave balm, products for ingrown hairs and rashes, pre-shave, beard shampoo and beard conditioner. Brands highlighted in this area include Bulldog Skincare for Men, Jack Black, Clinique for Men, Murdock London and Wahl.

Hair, skin and body ranges

Haircare is split between electrical tools and products. The tools group includes hair clippers, brushes and combs, and electrical hair tools, while the product side covers shampoo, conditioner, hair treatments, dry shampoo, anti-dandruff, coloured hair and haircare gifts. Styling is treated separately, with hair wax, gel, paste, sprays and pomade; Hanz De Fuko, American Crew, Redken Brews, Mancave and Men-U appear as featured brands.

In skincare, the shop organises products by concern (dry skin, oily skin, anti-ageing, acne, suncare and SPF) and by type: face masks, moisturisers, toners, skin supplements, facial scrubs, night treatments, face wash, eye care and lip care. Aesop, ESPA, Bulldog Skincare for Men, Barber Pro and CeraVe are listed as top brands in this category. The body section adds bath and shower items, body washes, bath soaks, shower gels, body scrubs, body moisturisers, deodorants, hand wash, hands and feet products and bodycare gifts, alongside suncare, supplements, self tan, hair removal, nose trimmers, tweezers, body groomers, manicure and pedicure tools and wash bags.

Fragrance and dental care

The fragrance area is arranged around a top ten, fragrances for him and for her, aftershave, eau de toilette, eau de parfum, cologne and home fragrance, with brands such as Carolina Herrera, Chloé, Calvin Klein, Jean Paul Gaultier, Marc Jacobs, Moschino and Versace named in the brand directory. Dental care is a smaller section covering toothpaste, teeth whitening, toothbrushes and mouth wash, with Marvis Toothpaste and Oral-B among the brands listed.
