“羽” (Hane) means "feather" in Japanese and is a symbolism of the brand's desire to promote living lightly, with a carefree and healthy attitude.
Here, at Hane-Skincare you can find specially curated and handmade skincare product by Hane's founder, Yu Jun. Started in 2018 as "The Soap Castle", Hane has now evolved to encompass more than just artisan soaps, with a wider range of clay masks, salves and raw ingredients in stock. Our products are cruelty-free, made with ingredients sustainably sourced and created with the intention to embrace nature and aesthetic. All products are made without artificial colourants, fragrances and preservatives.
We also have Hane-Uka, with "Uka" meaning to emerge or metamorphose. Here, we bring to you unique creations such as artworks, jewellery and pottery collected or created by our founder. Most items are made with the intention of it being limited and not-mass-produced. This idea came about through the urge to create and artists are welcomed to contact us to list your products on our page. Creativity and recklessness are encouraged. =)
Shoppers should also drop by regularly or subscribe to our newsletter to keep themselves updated for new exciting items.
Yu Jun Leow
Founder
Hane was founded by Yu Jun who started off with "The Soap Castle" back in 2017. She was then a young 22 year old law school undergraduate who wanted to learn a new craft during her holidays. She spent a good amount of time learning about what makes a good soap and more importantly, the benefits of using one. This sparked off her journey into the world of natural and handmade skincare products which spurred her to continue creating and educating.
Now, she hopes that Hane will be a platform that expresses her desire to promote the spirit of living lightly, freely and creatively through sharing her little ideas. Frankly, Hane has become a giant living symbol in her heart where she hopes to lift just a little weight off someone's shoulder and make someone's day a little better, one creation at a time.
