Make room in your makeup bag. A whole host of beauty brands have either recently made their Canadian debut or are poised to start popping up on shelves in the coming months. From powerful anti-aging products to organic complexion perfecters to colourful cosmetics, we have the inside information on five new brands ready and waiting to shake up your beauty routine.
Éclos skincare
Care to take a bite out of an Uttwiler Spätlauber? One a day is purported to keep the wrinkles away. This rare Swiss apple (referred to as a “super apple” by some) is the main player in a new line of anti-aging skin care products containing plant stem cells taken from the uncommon fruit. Believed to possess extraordinary skin saving properties, the apple-centric line is now available in Canada, having launched in September. Nine products, ranging from a cleanser and eye cream to a serum, mask and moisturizer, also contain vitamins and antioxidants that work together to help minimize fine lines and wrinkles. The Éclos line is also dedicated to creating products without any parabens, sulphates or synthetic fragrances or dyes, all of which have the potential to irritate sensitive skin. Shop the products exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart.
One Love Organics
Launched in Canada in June, One Love Organics is the first waterless skin care line in the United States, and is now available north of the border. The line (for face, body and hair) is made in small, artisanal batches and contains only the purest ingredients. The whole line is multi-functional (think a balm that removes makeup, grooms eyebrows and moisturizes dry skin), handmade and hand filled. Suzanne LeRoux, the line’s founder, tells us the products contain only pure, active ingredients to make them as effective as possible. “We were determined to create an easy yet effective line of multi-tasking products that directly benefited the skin,” she explains. “We knew we wanted it to be waterless, since topically-applied water does not benefit the skin and requires preservatives, which we also wanted to avoid.”
One Love Organics is available at Blossom Lounge in Unionville, SavSie Lash Lounge & Boutique in Alberta and Pretty Beauty and Books in Toronto, as well as via their website, oneloveorganics.com.
