Eco Hand Balm is formulated to provide long lasting moisturisation to your hands. Our kelp extract is a powerful antioxidant, soothing and calming the skin in combination with aloe vera extracts. Natural oils, including broccoli seed oil and shea oil, deliver long lasting moisturisation which softens the hands and can help stimulate the production of skin ceramides.

Eco Hand Balm comes in new vivomer packaging. Vivomer is an entirely vegan and compostable material made with a little help from friendly microbes. Grown by nature, our packaging performs like plastic but without the detrimental effects at its end of life, remaining benign to the environment as it’s consumed again by the same microbes that created it. Vivomer will degrade organically like tree branches, given its origins are also natural. We have had this certified in all conditions.

Haeckels

Haeckels is a natural skincare and wild fragrance company based in Margate. Haeckels was founded in 2012 by volunteer beach warden and coastal enthusiast Dom Bridges. Disillusioned by the production ethos of many larger skincare companies, Dom wanted to create simple handcrafted products that showcased the surrounding coasts natural ingredients in the hope that the products themselves would then promote Margate’s heritage of healthy coastal living.

When Haeckels was just starting out Dom would collect seaweed and local botanicals along the Margate coast and bring them to bring back to his family kitchen to experiment. Dom’s wife Jo soon said it was time to get a proper lab and turn a passion into a business as every saucepan in the kitchen was starting to smell like a skincare product. Taking his wife’s advice he acquired the lab on Cliff Terrace in 2013 where more product formulas were developed to complete the range. The company has now grown; taking on members of staff whilst still playing an active part in the local community by organising beach cleans and taking part in marine conservation surveys.

Haeckels use seaweed as the base for all of their products for its hydrating properties – 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. The seaweed in Haeckels products is picked by hand in from the beach in Margate, UK.

Haeckels is driven by trying to solve the waste problem – be that through the use of natural resources in products, or presenting packaging solutions that are fully recyclable or compostable. As Haeckels develops over the coming years the heart of the company will always remain the same as it concentrates on craft first in the hope that the products themselves will remind and educate customers of the natural wealth of Margate’s coastline.
