Fat Buddha Store Blog // All the News

  We continue to expand our grooming selection at Fat Buddha Store with our latest brand Haeckels . We are always trying to source eco friendly brands and Haeckels not only offer a great range of skin and self care products but they use all natural ingredients and are based locally within the UK.   Haeckels are driven by trying to solve the waste problem – be that through their use of waste natural resources in their products, or presenting packaging solutions to our community that are fully recyclable or compostable.      They use seaweed as the base for all of their 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, they harvest it by hand from the beach just steps away from their shop. What drives Haeckels forward is doing things differently and...

Björk and Berries began as a small local project in northern Sweden with the desire to preserve the magic of its nature, beauty, scents and healing properties. They took to the woods to hand-pick leaves and berries to capture the essence of the Swedish flora in their first natural perfume and with that, set the foundation for what Björk and Berries is today. Björk , the Swedish word for Birch, also known as the life-giving tree is our signature ingredient and a symbol of the unique nature where they also find other potent ingredients like sea buckthorn and blueberries.   In developing their products, they use the best nature has to offer and through the latest technology, transform it into luxurious formulas where texture, scent and performance are of equal importance. All Björk and Berries products are made in Sweden according to their ecoluxury criteria – kind to skin, nature and people.   Björk and Berries is owned by CEO Isabelle Lewenhaupt and her family.
