What unites the Scottish Highlands, the Appalachians and a biscuit factory? This Scottish brand.
Aster & Bay is the idea of Erin Hammond. She graduated in Architectural Conservation from the University of Edinburgh. During her architectural history classes she became interested in traditional artisanal conservation methods. And, at this point, her life took a turn: she moved to live in Atlanta, where she began researching botany, natural folklore and alchemy. When she returned to Scotland she decided to launch Aster & Bay . In this brand she would pour everything she knew about the indigenous plants of both countries.
Now, Aster & Bay is the project of Erin and Glen, her partner. The brand is what they want it to be, minimalist, British and artisanal in its dedication and care.
This brand is a celebration of the presence of plants in everyday care. It is a natural brand in which all ingredients come from sustainable and responsible sources. Each product is made as it was done in classic pharmacies, by hand and with great care. The containers are made of recycled glass and its founder does everything possible to leave the smallest carbon footprint possible. Hence they use all the British ingredients possible; for example: they develop products with local herbs from the Highlands and salt from the coast of Great Britain. All products are vegan (with the exception of the Green Mask) and are not tested on animals.
We already have the Highlands and the American mountains. Where is the cookie factory? Aster&Bay products are made in an old cookie factory. Something that is born there has to be in Laconicum.
*Aster & Bay is sold exclusively, in Spain, at Laconicum.
