A seemingly insignificant idea, born from a chance encounter, can evolve into a transformative journey of innovation and purpose. It was a chance encounter between Kim van Haaster and Hein van Haaster that sparked the idea of harnessing the regenerative properties of tulips for, of all things, skincare.
The story of Bloom Effects begins with Kim van Haaster and her new husband Hein van Haaster, who worked in the family Tulip Bulb company. And so came the idea of harnessing the tulip’s regenerative powers for skincare.
Fuelled by Kim’s knowledge (she has years of experience working for big beauty and skincare brands) and passion for crafting her skincare line to aid her own skincare issues and Hein’s family expertise in tulip cultivation, they embarked on a mission to unlock the potential of these flowers.
Bloom Effects emerged in 2019, captivating beauty enthusiasts with its promise of petal-soft skin and youthful radiance. By harnessing tulip stem cells, Bloom Effects developed a skincare range known for promoting cellular growth, boosting collagen, and hydrating the skin.
Partnering with Van Haaster Farm, Bloom Effects leverages a century of farming excellence, ensuring access to fields of blossoms and unparalleled natural resources. The brand’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its environmentally friendly processes, circular farming practices, and the upcycling of tulip bulbs.
Kim researched the potential of the flower its petals after a chance comment to her husband. Why do tulips droop she asked. They don’t he replied it’s the second part of their life, it is what they are ‘built’ to do. And so Kim began to research the powerful ingredients within this flower and how it could be utilized in skincare.
