Sḵwálwen Botanicals – Changing the Face of Skincare
From hydration sprays to glacial clay products, here's an all-Canadian roundup of skin-care products that will soothe and invigorate
When you’re feeling sweaty or overheated, this versatile full-body spray from Rocky Mountain Soap Company will give you an instant refresh. The uplifting scent of peppermint essential oil soothes and cools, while the aromatherapy blend of tea tree, rosemary and French lavender helps with rejuvenation. You can also use this spray to deodorize shoes, socks, linens and your yoga mat.Available online, $18
Glacial clay. Ooooo! Even the sound of this key ingredient gives us the chills! This refreshing, four-product Canadian skin-care brand uses sustainably harvested glacial clay and mineral water from Northern B.C. in their entire line. Although their Glacial Clay Mask is the fan favourite (and perfect for getting that radiant glow), Nena’s moisturizer and toner also include ingredients like aloe vera, which is known to have natural properties that soothe and hydrate the skin. Available online, from $7.50
The uplifting and invigorating scents of peppermint and spearmint will leave your body tingling with freshness from head to toe. This unisex product’s main use is as a body wash formulated to give your senses a wake-up call, but it can also be used as a shave cream or shampoo, the latter being best for those with an oily scalp. Available online, $16.95
Subscribers to our Simply Beautiful subscription box were treated to a full-sized Botanical Face Mist from Huna Skin earlier this year. The formulation is made of natural ingredients like like rose water, aloe vera and watermelon extract. One powerful and refreshing spritz is all you need to cool down! For an extra-brisk spritz, chill in the refrigerator before using. Available online, $56
Scentual’s sulphate-free shampoo is scented with rosemary and mint essential oils that mingle for a bright and refreshing experience. In addition, organic argan and coconut oil helps keep hair looking and feeling healthy and hydrated without stripping away natural moisture. This refreshing product is well-suited for dry, sensitive or dandruff prone scalps.Available online, $16.50
