Fashion with Trend

If there’s one thing Canadians can be proud of—both today on Canada Day and year-round—it’s our abundance of raw wilderness, untainted by humans. And while there are plenty of stellar Canadian beauty brands out there for you to support this Canada Day, these five companies go one step further in showing their patriotism by putting all that untapped nature to good use and sourcing ingredients from the Great White North. Because really, who needs glacier water from the Swiss Alps or algae from the dead sea when there’s so much good stuff right here in our [9.985 million km²] backyard?

 

1/5

Essential Face Mist

($28, Céla)

Founder Céline Tadrissi was inspired by the Canadian wilderness to create her skincare line, and takes pains to source ingredients—like their proprietary Céla Complex, a blend of six Canadian botanical extracts—wherever possible. Look out for snow algae (the stuff responsible for all those pretty pictures of pink snow you may have peeped on Instagram) in products like their Essential Face Mist, sourced from the Canadian Arctic.

2/5

DHE Mask

($45, Consonant Skincare)

Talk about out of this world ingredients: the clay in this detoxifying mask from Canadian brand Consonant Skincare is sourced from a 215 million year old asteroid collision site in central Quebec (now a reservoir that can be seen from space). Mineral-rich Manicouagan Clay is known to have anti-inflammatory properties, while drawing out dirt, debris and dead skin cells.

3/5

Superfood Mask + Scrub

($39, Graydon Skincare)

Founder Graydon Moffatt started this plant-based line with the intention of delivering safe, shelf-stable, high-quality products to Canadians without compromising on natural derivations. These mask-scrub capsules get their superpower from Canadian glacial clay, which puts thousands of years of mineralization to work to nourish skin.

4/5

Healing Eczema Balm

($52, Province Apothecary)

Toronto-based Province Apothecary sources their ingredients from all over the Canadian map—literally—to support local farmers and deliver powerful skincare solutions to customers without requiring ingredients shipped over from the other side of the globe. This eczema balm is made with oatmeal sourced from Saskatchewan oats to calm inflammation. Founder Julie Clark is an eczema sufferer herself, and was inspired to create the line in her search for natural solutions.

5/5

Pure Lavender Face & Eyes Cleansing Oil

($25, La Maison Lavande)

This dreamy family-owned and operated lavender farm in Sainte-Eustache, Quebec turns out a wide range of lavender-based solutions, from household cleaning products to anti-bacterial gels and more. Their skincare line harnesses the soothing power of lavender—all grown at the farm, which is also open for visits—which adds an aromatherapy element to this oil cleanser.
