We all love to be beside the seaside and Haeckels of Margate take this one step further. They create products that are manufactured from the natural resources that our glorious coast has to offer, mainly seaweed.

Haeckels of Margate is the brainchild of Dom Bridges, film maker, volunteer beach warden and proud resident of Margate.  He began making soaps and beard oils in his kitchen in 2012 with his wife Jo for himself and friends. Using seaweed he had foraged along the Kent coast.  He was, and still is disillusioned with the cosmetic and skin care corporations; their production values and ethics. They just don’t sit well with him. So, he gained one of only two government licenses to harvest seaweed from the English coast. Dom is very proud of this achievement and takes that responsibility very seriously. Haeckels of Margate are very active in marine preservation, organising beach cleans and taking part in marine conservation surveys.
