About Harbour & Hearth

Our story — honest skincare, made local

From weekend market stall to small studio in Roath: simple, tested, and sustainably packaged skincare made for everyday use.

Our story

Harbour & Hearth was born from two simple frustrations: vague ingredient lists and over-hyped miracle claims. What started in 2018 as a weekend stall at Cardiff Market has become a small studio in Roath where we craft modest, effective skincare that people trust.

We believe skincare should be honest: full ingredient lists, realistic benefits, and small-batch production that lets us control quality. Our founder Maya brings lab training and a methodical approach to formulation; Tom brings community, market know-how, and a talent for turning craft into a local business people love.

WHO WE SERVE

  • Everyday gentle cleansing: People who want a basic, effective bar for daily wash.
  • Sensitive skin options: Unscented and oat formulas for babies or sensitive users.
  • Gifts & travel: Travel trios and gift packs for visitors and seasonal shoppers.
  • Small wholesale: Local cafés, boutiques and zero-waste shops looking for low-waste, local products.
