Welcome to season two, episode two, and we are with Ben D'alton of The Happy Turtle Zero Waste Store. A former barber and already an owner of a successful skincare brand  Shoreline Skincare , we talk to Ben about his new shop nestled in the heart of Heysham Village near Morecambe. The Happy Turtle has been popular from the very first day Ben opened the doors..

We are a family run business based in the Beautiful Morecambe Bay area, Heysham to be exact. 

For a while we have been trying to make our own small changes in the way we use household items and reduce waste - in particular single use plastics. Our ethos is to make it easier for residents in the local area to do the same. We know it's not for everyone, but we believe collectively we can make a difference to the impact we have on our home town and planet.

We produce our own range of skincare, haircare and toiletry items as well as offering refillable options for household cleaning, laundry products, bath and body products, basic (plastic free) food and drink items and plastic packaging free seasonal veg boxes.

You can collect your order from our shop in Heysham or arrange delivery to Heysham, Morecambe, Carnforth & Lancaster.

Simply use the order form and we will be in touch. 

​

If you have any questions, please use the contact form and we'll ring you as soon as we can. 

​

Hope to meet you soon,
