Socially conscious Spanish personal care brand HAAN has  launched in Ireland in partnership with Irish beauty and spa distribution company, Bluesky Products Ltd. Sustainability  and effectiveness meet style for HAAN’s range of refillable  hand, body and tooth care, with 20% of all profits going  towards eradicating global water poverty. 

Launched in 2018, HAAN is part of a new generation of brands that go beyond simply selling  products – they want to build a better future for people and the planet. Founders Eric  Armengou and Hugo Rovira’s vision was to ‘turn care around’ by creating an industry disrupting and socially-conscious brand that can help alleviate the global water crisis. In the past four years since their launch, HAAN has built a strong product range that is sold in leading retailers across  Europe and Asia, while also funding the construction of 17 water wells in developing  countries.

Natural Personal Care with Probiotic Formulas  

HAAN’s range of personal care products include their leading Pockets Hand Sanitizer, Hand  Soap, Hand Cream, Body Wash, Body Lotion, Deodorant and Toothpaste. Packaged in sleek  refillable and recyclable bottles, HAAN sticks to its conscious brand ethos with natural ingredients, prebiotic formulas and fresh clean scents. All HAAN products are cruelty free. 

Refill, Reuse, Reduce 

HAAN estimates that people can save up to 89% of plastic by refilling their personal care  products and have created an innovative refillable packaging system for all their products,  without compromising on style or efficacy. This results in less plastic use, less water and  energy used in manufacturing, less CO2 emissions from production and a lesser end cost to  consumers. (Please refer to additional information below, for an example of the savings involved  using a HAAN Hand Cream refill).  

Water is Life 

Speaking on HAAN’s dedication to help fight the global water crisis and the knock on effect  creating clean water in developing communities can have through the opportunities it creates,  Eric Armengou said: 

“The water crisis is an unknown cause but with huge global repercussions. It is difficult  to understand how there are still so many people without access to water or food.  Sometimes, this is caused by a country’s poor resource management. In other times,  because the surface water has been contaminated. Bringing safe water to developing  communities turns problems into opportunities. Access to clean water improves health,  increases school enrolments and fosters economic prosperity. For us, water is life and  every single HAAN sanitiser is giving 134 litres of safe water to developing countries. “
