By HumanKind email gallery from real brands
1. Clean hair + clean ingredients —
Objective
This email aims to persuade recipients to switch from liquid shampoo bottles to solid shampoo and conditioner bars by highlighting environmental benefits and cost savings. It positions By HumanKind as a sustainable, minimalist brand that helps users reduce plastic waste while caring for their hair.
Why this works
The email opens with a relatable, data-backed stat about plastic waste, 11 shampoo bottles per year, which immediately creates urgency and positions the product as a practical, planet-friendly solution rather than just another beauty item.
How to implement
By visually labeling each bar’s function directly on the product image, 'Cleansing + nourishing SHAMPOO BAR' and 'Moisturizing + smoothing CONDITIONER BAR', the email removes confusion and educates the customer without requiring extra clicks or reading.
Pro Tip
Add a small countdown timer or limited-time offer badge near the CTA to create urgency, since the current design lacks any time-sensitive incentive that could nudge hesitant shoppers to act immediately. • Include a customer testimonial or star rating near the product grid to build social proof, the current email relies solely on stats and claims, which may not be enough to convert skeptical first-time buyers.
2. The freshest rinse –
Objective
This email aims to convert subscribers into first-time buyers of By HumanKind’s alcohol-free mouthwash tablets by highlighting their gentle, natural formula and offering a risk-free way to try multiple flavors. It also encourages subscription for long-term retention through a free container and discount.
Why this works
The email brilliantly reframes mouthwash as a soothing, non-irritating experience by leading with 'minus the burn', a clever emotional hook that immediately addresses a universal pain point of traditional formulas and positions the product as a gentle upgrade.
How to implement
By showcasing the assorted flavor mix with a clear visual and naming each flavor, the email reduces decision fatigue and invites experimentation, making the first purchase feel less like a commitment and more like a fun, low-risk sampling experience.
Pro Tip
Add a small visual icon or badge next to the 'SHOP MOUTHWASH →' CTA in the second section to indicate it’s a subscription offer, this would reduce friction by signaling the benefit upfront without requiring the reader to scroll back up. • Include a micro-testimonial or social proof near the flavor mix section, such as '92% of first-time buyers choose the Assorted Mix', to leverage social validation and nudge hesitant customers toward the recommended starter option.
3. Natural deodorant that actually works.
Objective
This email aims to convert readers into subscribers by showcasing the brand’s refillable deodorant system as both effective and eco-conscious, while incentivizing sign-up with a free container and ongoing discounts to build long-term customer value.
Why this works
The email brilliantly frames sustainability as a personal win by tying the refillable container to long-term savings and planetary care, making eco-consciousness feel practical and rewarding rather than sacrificial.
How to implement
By leading with a bold, benefit-driven headline, 'One container, refill forever', the campaign instantly communicates product innovation and eliminates buyer hesitation around disposable waste and recurring costs.
Pro Tip
Add a visual indicator or small icon next to the 'Free container' offer to make the incentive more scannable and emotionally compelling, for example, a gift box or plant icon to reinforce the eco-gift angle. • Reposition the second CTA 'SHOP ALL →' directly beneath the testimonial to capitalize on emotional momentum, rather than placing it after the brand mission statement, which dilutes the conversion urgency.
4. Happy Valentines Day <3
Objective
This Valentine’s Day email aims to drive product engagement by playfully connecting By HumanKind’s eco-friendly personal care items to romantic gestures, encouraging recipients to shop for themselves or loved ones while reinforcing the brand’s sustainable values.
Why this works
The email brilliantly ties product features to Valentine’s Day emotions, like calling toothpaste ‘mint to be’, making functional items feel romantic and emotionally resonant without forcing the theme.
How to implement
Each product section uses cheeky, conversational copy like ‘Be our sham-boo?’ to lower the barrier to engagement, turning routine purchases into playful, shareable moments that align with the brand’s lighthearted tone.
Pro Tip
Add a visual countdown or limited-time Valentine’s offer badge near the CTAs to create urgency, since the current design lacks time-sensitive motivation despite the holiday context. • Include a small testimonial or user-generated photo near the ‘Happy Valentine’s Day!’ section to build social proof and humanize the brand’s ‘kind to your body and planet’ claim.
5. The American Lawn —
Objective
This email aims to educate readers on the environmental downsides of the traditional American lawn while positioning By HumanKind as a thoughtful, eco-conscious brand that encourages sustainable yard alternatives. It subtly reinforces brand values without a hard product sell.
Why this works
The email masterfully reframes a mundane topic, lawns, into a compelling environmental story, using historical context and hard data to build credibility while aligning with the brand’s mission of mindful consumption.
How to implement
Instead of pushing products, it offers practical, nature-based alternatives like clover lawns and native gardens, which positions the brand as a trusted advisor rather than a sales-driven marketer, a powerful trust-building tactic.
Pro Tip
Add a visual or icon next to each sustainable yard alternative (garden, native species, clover) to increase scannability and emotional resonance, the current text-only bullets underperform visually for a topic rich with imagery potential. • Include a micro-CTA beneath each alternative, such as 'Get our guide to starting a clover lawn' or 'Shop native plant seeds,' to turn passive education into active engagement without breaking the email’s tone.
6. What makes the perfect deodorant?
Objective
This email aims to convert readers frustrated with finding sustainable deodorant by positioning By HumanKind’s product as the ideal solution that meets environmental, health, and performance standards, while encouraging immediate purchase through clear benefits and bundled savings.
Why this works
The email brilliantly reframes customer frustration as a shared problem, then immediately positions the product as the thoughtful, science-backed solution, turning pain points into persuasive proof points that build trust before the first click.
How to implement
By highlighting specific, measurable performance claims, like being 40% better at killing odor-causing bacteria, the brand elevates its natural deodorant beyond ‘just eco-friendly’ into a superior functional product, appealing to both conscious and results-driven buyers.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle countdown timer or limited-availability note near the bundle offer to create urgency, since the current CTA lacks temporal pressure that could boost conversion for hesitant shoppers. • Include a mini testimonial or user rating snippet near the product grid to validate the performance claims, social proof would strengthen credibility for first-time buyers skeptical of natural deodorant efficacy.
7. The ultimate biodegradable loofah –
Objective
This email aims to drive immediate purchases of By HumanKind’s biodegradable sea sponge and promote their sustainable hair care set by highlighting eco-friendly benefits and offering a time-sensitive discount. It also encourages repeat engagement through refill reminders and brand values.
Why this works
The email masterfully ties product utility to emotional relief, positioning the sea sponge as a post-day detox tool that washes away not just grime but the stress of modern life, making sustainability feel personally rewarding.
How to implement
By anchoring the hair care discount to a seasonal code (‘FALL15’) and a hard deadline (9/26), the campaign creates urgency without being pushy, subtly aligning eco-conscious shopping with seasonal ritual and smart consumer behavior.
Pro Tip
Add a small countdown timer next to the 15% off offer to visually reinforce urgency and increase conversion pressure without disrupting the clean layout. • Include a micro-testimonial or user rating beneath the sea sponge CTA to build social proof, for example, ‘Rated 4.9/5 by 2K+ eco-conscious bathers’, to reduce perceived risk for first-time buyers.
8. Rethink fresh breath.
Objective
To reposition fresh breath as a sustainable, minimalist ritual by introducing dissolvable mouthwash tablets that eliminate plastic waste and harmful chemicals, encouraging users to upgrade their oral care routine with a simple, eco-conscious alternative.
Why this works
The email brilliantly reframes a mundane daily habit, mouthwash, into a conscious lifestyle choice by anchoring it to sustainability, minimalism, and body-safe ingredients, making the product feel essential rather than optional.
How to implement
By visually showcasing the dissolving tablets in water with vibrant colors, the email transforms a functional product into an aesthetic, almost ritualistic experience that appeals to sensory-driven consumers seeking mindful routines.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle countdown timer or limited-availability tag near the CTA to create urgency, since the current design lacks temporal pressure that could nudge hesitant buyers toward immediate purchase. • Include a micro-testimonial or user rating near the flavor descriptions to build social proof, currently, the product’s benefits are stated but not validated by real user experiences, which could boost trust and conversion.
