Bog Myrtle
A sweet and resinous scent, warm and clove-like.
Abundant in the Scottish Highlands, bog myrtle is a versatile plant steeped in folklore. Also known as ‘sweet gale’, it is said to ward off mischievous faeries and was also a common ingredient in traditional cooking.
Juniper
A fresh and balsamic scent, evoking pine and sea spray.
Juniper commonly grows on chalk downland and coastal heaths. It has a long history within folklore, being used for the ritual purification of temples and placed outside homes to ward off evil spirits and cast off witchcraft.
Lemon Balm
Fresh lemon-scented leaves, a herby, citrusy scent to boost your mood.
In historic English herbalism, lemon balm is ruled by the planet Jupiter in Cancer and was said to expel “melancholy vapours” from the heart and arteries.
Wild Fennel
A sweet, resinous scent with notes of basil and anise.
Fennel has a sweet and earthy aroma, often confused with liquorice. Used as a protective charm from the 10th century onwards, in the language of flowers, fennel is symbolic of force and strength.
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.
