Hau Cosmetics was founded in 2018 by Leander Sacher. His goal was to create a brand that combines effective products with clean formulations, sustainability and design. However, the foundation for the idea was laid long before.
The basis for the idea of Hau Cosmetics lies in Leander’s childhood. His mother often told him about her travels to the indigenous peoples of North America. “The way the people there interact and the deep connection they feel to each other and to nature deeply impressed me”, he says.
As he grew older, his father took him to the laboratory and showed him how cosmetic products are created and what is important for it. This is how his passion for high-quality cosmetics was born. In founding Hau Cosmetics, he then wanted to combine these components: the inspiration from his mother’s stories, his father’s scientific know-how and his intention to develop high-quality cosmetics without questionable ingredients.
The brand’s name also traces back to indigenous peoples: “Hau” is a greeting in the Lakota language. It was included in the brand name to symbolize that the products are aimed at everyone and welcome everyone.
“The concept of our brand is based on the fundamental principle that a Hau Cosmetics product should be entirely good for its users, the society and the environment. We pursue these principles at all possible levels.”
We love the idea behind this brand and are utterly happy to count Hau Cosmetics to our #SQINfamily!
