What inspired you to create a bath and body company and the name Ulf Hednar? How was it born?
Almost every product on the shelves has some sort of chemical in it. Brody’s skin is super sensitive to pretty much anything it touches. So we decided to take this issue into our own hands and create a solution. A limited ingredient, all natural product that was affordable and accessible to everyone.
The name Ulfhednar came about because we wanted something that would draw people in and something that they would remember. Ulfhednar itself means Warrior Wolf and in Nordic history the Ulfhednar warriors were the first line of defense against attackers and when attacking another village. We compare this to our skin as it is our first line of defense against everything that comes at us. Also it’s a name that nobody can seem to pronounce, so it draws them in so we can talk to them about our product!
During these interesting times, what keeps you inspired?
The times are stressful for everyone out there. Many people are worried about whether they are going to be able to pay rent, feed their families, pay their bills. A lot of people are falling into depressive states because of this and personal care/hygiene is one of the first things to slip when this happens. We can help with that. We can help you take care of your body. We can provide you with the means for a little self love.We love helping people, even if its just by putting a smile on their face as they sink into a nice warm bath with one of our bath bombs. And all of our product is affordable.
What is your personal favourite product from your line? and what product do you recommend for first time clients?
Ren’s favourite product is the crystal bath bomb. They love the lemon coconut scent and how there is a surprise crystal in the bath bomb itself. Brody’s favourite product is the charcoal face peel as it leaves his face feeling super soft and smooth while getting rid of those pesky black heads. For first time users we tend to recommend our Signature Body spread as it is very nourishing for the skin, soothes irritated skin and isn’t greasy either.
Tell us one random fact about Ulf Hednar Bath & Body.
Ren does all the photography for the company as they also run their own photography business on the side, and Brody is a huge nerd which is where the star wars themed soaps came from.
