Haeckels is a natural fragrance and skin care company based in Margate (UK) and founded in 2012 by volunteer beach warden and coastal enthusiast Dom Bridges. Dom acquired the Lab on Cliff Terrace in 2013 where, using and distilling only locally grown botanicals like seaweed, first product formulas were developed. The business has since gone global with an emphasis on innovative, natural skin care and sustainability. Haeckels offers a range of Margate-based skin, hair and body products available through premium retailers. Haeckels also opened a day spa in Margate where they offer Thalassotherapy spa treatments.
