Beauty brand Haeckels is entering a new era with a new name, Dulcie, that puts distance between the 19th-century scientist, Ernst Haeckel, it was originally named after. The new name is a reference to founder Dom Bridges' daughter, Dulcie. "This new name brings a sense of responsibility not just to my daughter and the planet, but to everyone entering beauty," said Bridges.

Many skincare and beauty brands embrace a crisp, clean aesthetic in their packaging, favoring minimal lines and clinical precision. By contrast, Dulcie rejects this norm with a distinctly hand-drawn look that feels refreshingly authentic and especially meaningful in an age defined by AI.

Beyond aesthetics, Dulcie's packaging is significant for its use of Vivomer, a bio-based, 100% home-compostable material developed by Shellworks.
