Haeckels

Haeckels
This is a name that’s probably not known to many, as it’s not a heavily commercialized brand. However, what’s really unique about Heckles is that its main resource in producing amazing skincare is “fished” from the ocean! Disclaimer: no fish were harmed but Haeckles harvests seaweed by hand (under licence), from the beach which is just steps away from their shop. Seaweed is an amazing ingredient in case you weren’t aware, it’s rich with valuable vitamins, minerals and amino acids, plus it is filled with anti-bacterial, skin rebuilding and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s an all-natural protection for our skin!

Pros of Haeckels

Uses seaweed harvested by hand as the main ingredient in their skincare.
Formulated a natural hyaluronic acid using their Margate seaweed base.
Looks to nourish and protect skin from daily pollutants and further UV exposure rather than reverse signs of aging.
Designed for sensitive and dry skin.

Cons of Haeckels

There isn’t much variety but enough for what you need.
Not suitable if you’re looking for anti-ageing products.

Brand Details

Must-try products	Marine Facial Cleanser Algae Plump + B3 Eco Marine Cream Earth Marine Water + AHA 4%

Some brands do offer vegan and vegetarian skincare products, and it’s important that you understand the difference. Vegetarian beauty products don’t contain ingredients that were part of an animal but they may use ingredients made by an animal such as honey, beeswax, egg whites (albumen), milk substance and more. However, vegan beauty products don’t include anything that came from or was produced by living or killed animals. Now you’ll never have to wonder if the two are the same!
