Our Why
The Start of Hark & Zander
Hark & Zander was created from a place of frustration and curiosity.
Anyone with sensitive skin knows how difficult it is to find the right products, and having sensitive skin herself, Kirsty knew exactly that! She was spending big on the “best” products on the market, they were fine but used too many synthetics for her liking.
This led Kirsty - a nurse - to explore the world of all natural skincare products and when she couldn’t find a sustainable solution her knowledge and curiosity kicked in and she began to explore other methods. Wonderful and unusual methods.
After years of in-depth research into the health properties of all different types of natural ingredients Kirsty discovered something that would revolutionise the way cosmetics could be made and against controversy she believed people like her needed to know what she had found.
