Haeckels exists as an amplifier of the natural world and as a community problem solver. We are driven by trying to solve the waste problem – be that through our use of waste natural resources in our products, or presenting packaging solutions to our community that are fully recyclable or compostable. We use seaweed as the base for all of our products. That seaweed is picked by hand in Margate, UK. Why seaweed? Seaweed hydrates; it’s rich with valuable vitamins, minerals and amino acids; it’s anti-bacterial, skin rebuilding and anti-inflammatory; it’s all-natural, and all around us. Under licence, we harvest it by hand from the beach just steps away from our shop. What drives us forward is doing things differently and always evolving. What started in Margate is now sold the world over. We’re afraid to stand still. Everything we do has to have a reason to exist whilst honouring our ocean first philosophy. Nothing is too big or too small. We can’t wait to take you on our journey with us.
