Graydon
Specializing in innovative formulas that help revitalize the skin (aka: bring back that youthful glow), this skincare line focuses on effective plant-based ingredients. The Detox + Renew Serum uses antioxidant-rich raspberry seed oil sourced from the Fraser Valley that helps diminish blemishes and also has SPF for added sun protection. The Face Food Mineral Mist, a scent-free toner, is rich in minerals like zinc (which helps decrease inflammation) and copper (which helps promote collagen growth).
The Face Food Mineral Mist, $32, Graydon.

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 is about to change all that. The line’s MO is to strictly use food-grade ingredients and relying 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.

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. The line includes specialty products like brow serum to help strengthen and stimulate growth. For anyone getting hitched this year, the Wedding Kit is a complete skincare regime. It even includes the forward-thinking Hangover Remedy with peppermint and ginger for post-bachelorette.
Full brow serum, $36, Province Apothecary.

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, Sahajan.

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 with growers and naturopaths, Mikayla created her first three face and body oils last summer. Now she’s launching another one: the Ingenious Oil, which combines the benefits of hydration, anti-inflammation and anti-aging in one mighty little bottle. She considers squalene oil to be a super ingredient for oilier skin types, it’s fast-absorbing and actually tells your glands to cool it with the grease already.
The Ingenious Oil, $68, Poetic Blend.
