No spoilers please, but had anyone had their August box yet? Last month I received it on July 1st but I've not even had a dispatch email yet.

I'd love a body lotion and perfume! Top of the list would be a face moisturiser though. I quite like bar soap so wouldn't mind that too much. Don't want hair products really and definitely not another tea Smile

I’d love an eye cream or maybe the under eye patches, plus the salicylic exfoliating powder looks really interesting. Completely agree on the collabs, such a lovely benefit.

Ha! I have all 3 of those 😍Just no more tea. I want to feel pampered!

Cyclingmummy1 · 11/08/2023 18:00

I'd like an exfoliating bar and, like pp, really look forward to the collabs.

Now you’ve all convinced me I need to try one of the exfoliating bars! My pet hate with bar soap is not knowing what to do with the wet bar… I guess I need to get a fancy soap tray 😂

Yes, get a fancy soap tray. Make sure it has holes in so the soap doesn't become a soggy mess. The Haeckels soap is fab. It was one of their first products and a real bestseller. I also like the one they do now with coffee grinds in

Coffee grinds are as divisive as seaweed tea - didn't liberty include a coffee scrub in one of the earlier beauty drops which really split the crowd?

Ha yes they did but I think everyone hated it because it's so messy! No mess with the Haeckels/Ozone soap.

I actually really like the espresso hand wash & oat milk body lotion Haeckels did with Watchhouse coffee too. But maybe I'm biased as Ozone and Watchhouse are two of my favourite places to have coffee (I live within walking distance) so I'm clearly the Hackels target audience 😝. (Well, apart from for the seaweed tea!😂 )

Lotsofpots · 13/08/2023 18:10

Wow this candle is incredible. Wonderful throw, and the most amazing scent.
I normally refuse to spend silly money on candles, preferring mid level brands (Pott, beauty pie etc) but this has made me want all of the Haeckles range.

Saurus72 · 13/08/2023 18:49

I bought the recent limited edition soap with Pangaia and it’s very lovely - not drying at all and the smoky scent is unusual but I like it. It was an expensive- £30 I think, but I’m cutting slices off and so I think it’s the equinox 3-4 normal size soaps. Has anyone tried the seaweed one from the subscription box yet? I have to say the smell doesn’t entice me, does it get better in use?

dullandgrey · 13/08/2023 19:18

@Lotsofpots I agree, I love the candle also. It does have really good throw. It made my room smell nice just by sitting in its unopened box. I'm very impressed! I usually love Diptyque candles, mainly due to the scents, however the throw and longevity is disappointing for the price I think.

Cyclingmummy1 · 13/08/2023 19:39

@Lotsofpots I ummed and aahed last night whether to light the candle but in the end went for a Molton Brown. I finished the White Company's grapefruit last week. That was gorgeous. I love a candle!

Just had an email with the contents of their previous boxes :

Box 001: Oat Milk Moisturising Lotion, Spiraglow EGF Serum and an eco marine cream sample.
Box 002: Japanese Seaweed Soap Block, Reef Complex Skin Oil and a marine night cream sample.
Box 003: Cocktail waste hand soap, Botany Parfum and a sample of the Algae Hydrating Clay Mask.
Box 004: Harvest Candle, Seaweed Tea and an Algae Plump sample.

rougechaotic · 15/08/2023 12:14

@Housewife2010 agh I'm sooo disappointed to have missed out on Box 003 - it's the one that made me sign up and I so desperately want some of the fragrance!

I'm super-excited about the new box after Haeckels saying we're going to the Maldives this time. That means the collaboration item will probably be something from their Indian Ocean Collection that they did with Patina in the Maldives. Can't wait!! (and it won't be seaweed tea, hurray!)

Cyclingmummy1 · 15/08/2023 18:30

Ooh, where did you read/see that @HundredMilesAnHour ? This should be a good one.

I've not had the email yet @HundredMilesAnHour

This is what the email says @Cyclingmummy1:

innovation subscription.
When we launched our subscription service back in May, we never expected it to sell so well. We now have a community of thousands receiving our monthly box from Margate, delivering innovation and surprise month in and month out.

Box 005 is now available to buy for new subscribers; for those of you who are already subscribed, your subscription will be renewed this coming week.

Every month, you'll receive a product that is from our secret archive of collaborations, explorations or future scoping of projects. With this, you'll receive a main line product and a sample.

So what can you expect? Here's a tease:

Box 001: Oat Milk Moisturising Lotion, Spiraglow EGF Serum and an eco marine cream sample.
Box 002: Japanese Seaweed Soap Block, Reef Complex Skin Oil and a marine night cream sample.
Box 003: Cocktail waste hand soap, Botany Parfum and a sample of the Algae Hydrating Clay Mask.
Box 004: Harvest Candle, Seaweed Tea and an Algae Plump sample.

This month, we're going a little further afield, from Margate to the Maldives, in fact. We can't wait to share more with you, and thank you to all who have joined us on this journey so far.

Cyclingmummy1 · 15/08/2023 21:21

Thanks @HundredMilesAnHour I think I might be opted out of emails 🙄 I've opted in now.

I've finished the seaweed tea this morning and was wondering what might be in next week's box.

The algae serum is great so I'd like some more skin care, and something from the Indian Ocean range sounds like body or bath which is always welcome.

Really really excited! Nice surprise to get the email, I’m predicting hair care and maybe some incense.
