Énamour

The curated product line for her, him and baby is derived from all-natural homegrown ingredients and bottled in small batches just outside Montreal. The Starter Kit, $47, Énamour.

Province Apothecary

Founder, holistic health practitioner and aromatherapist Julie Clark developed this skincare line after struggling with eczema (her eczema balm is the bomb) and allergies.

Poetic Blend

Founder Mikayla Tran was searching for a fix for her oily skin when she discovered the benefits of using oil. She set out to make her own product, and after two years spent consulting, Tran launched her own line of face oils including the cult fave: The Timeless Oil. Blended to promote hydration and boost cellular regeneration, the anti-oxidant rich formula can be added to your go-to beauty products to boost their efficiency or used on its own as a daily moisturizer. The Timeless Oil, $68, Poetic Blend.

Waxon

Waxon Waxbar founder Lexi Miles wanted to ensure that her clients were reaping the maximum hair removal benefits offered at the spa when they got home. And so.. an house branded line of take-away products (available online too) was born. Focused on cleansing, healing and exfoliating, the all-natural sugar scrubs, loofa soaps and hydrating oils, help to soothe and care for freshly waxed (or shaven skin) both immediately as well as during the regrowth phase. P.S. She only uses all-natural wax for in spa treatments too! Citrus Twist Loofa Scrub, $11, Waxon.

Bite

Natural-based lipsticks tend to be repeat offenders when it comes to producing a collection of sheer, naturally-toned (read: barely there) hues, but Bite’s latest Amuse Bouche palette of 34 vibrant shades changes all that. The line’s MO is to strictly use food-grade ingredients and rely on edible oils like grape seed, olive, avocado and pomegranate to deliver a smooth, hydrating formula. Bite lipstick in ‘pickled ginger’, $30, Sephora.

Consonant

With 100% natural ingredients (using organic as much as possible), Consonant’s fuss-free approach to skincare is to work with the body’s natural chemistry. Case in point: their Dealkalizing Deodorant is formulated to balance the pH level of skin, inhibiting the growth of odour-causing bacteria. The fizzing Bath Bombs are also ideal for anyone looking for a natural alternative to bubble bath. Dealkalizing Deodorant, $12, Consonant Skincare.

Sahajan

Sahajan is an organic five-product line based around the principles of Ayurvedic medicine. The line includes a face cream, eye cream, serum, hair oil and body oil. Founder Lisa Mattam uses coconuts in all of the products — the very first batch was actually made using coconut oil from the plantation her father grew up on. Mattam was chosen to be a part of Sephora’s Accelerate, a program designed to help support and build female-founded beauty start-ups. Protective Face Serum, $70, Protective Face Serum, $70, Sahajan.
