Haskill Lately: Clean Beauty, Better Standards & Mother’s Day Picks

There’s a lot happening at Haskill Creek right now—in the best way. From a new brand launch we’re genuinely excited about, to a deeper look at what “better” actually means in the products we carry, to the return of something you’ve been asking for all winter… this week is about coming back to the why behind what we do.

And with Mother’s Day around the corner, it’s also the perfect time to stop in for gifts that feel thoughtful, and that you know she’ll love.

We’re kicking things off with a closer look at Ursa Major, a brand that’s been doing clean beauty the right way from the beginning. In our latest feature, we asked the founders to talk about what it really means to create skincare that’s both clean and effective, without overcomplicating your routine or relying on fear-based marketing. Their philosophy is simple: fewer, better products that actually work.

This conversation comes at the perfect time, because we’re introducing their newest launch: the Sunny Start Eye Serum. It’s a lightweight, energizing formula designed to depuff, brighten, smooth fine lines, and deliver instant hydration. It’s one of those products that fits seamlessly into real life and makes you look more awake without adding another step.

To celebrate the launch (this weekend!), we’re offering a Gift With Purchase while supplies last, making it an ideal time to try the line.

If you’re starting to think about Mother’s Day, this is exactly the kind of gifting we believe in. Not overdone, not impersonal, just really good products she’ll actually use. Think skincare that simplifies her routine, body care and rituals that encourage slowing down, wellness essentials that support energy and sleep, and elevated everyday items she wouldn’t necessarily buy for herself. We’ve curated the store with this in mind, so you can walk in and find something meaningful without overthinking it. We’re also happy to put together curated gift boxes for Mother’s Day, or any occasion. All you have to do is ask!

Every year we revisit our product lines and really evaluate our curations, and this Spring we’ve been thinking a lot about what “better” really means. Ingredients are only part of the story—how a brand operates behind the scenes matters too. That’s where B Corp certification comes in. Certified B Corps meet rigorous standards around environmental impact, ethical sourcing, transparency, and community wellbeing. It’s not just about what’s in the product—it’s about how the entire business is run. Carrying B Corp brands is one way we stay aligned with our values and support companies working toward a more responsible, regenerative future. If you’re curious, we break this down further in our latest blog post.

And finally, we’re back from our “Spring Break” and the wellness bar is officially back open. Whether you’re running errands, heading to a workout, or just need something quick and nourishing, you can stop in for grab-and-go meals, smoothies, functional drinks, and simple, high-quality fuel for your day. It’s also an easy add-on if you’re coming in to shop—grab a smoothie while you browse or bring your mom in for something refreshing while you pick out her gift.

If there’s a theme to this week, it’s this: less noise, more intention. Skincare that works without over-complication, brands that stand for something beyond marketing, gifts that feel good to give and receive, and everyday rituals that support real life. As always, everything we bring into the store is filtered through that lens.

If you haven’t stopped in recently, this is a good week to do it! We hope to see you in the store soon.
