6 Standout Grooming Brands in Canada, From Shaving to Skincare
If you’re anything like us, your morning routine is an autopilot affair. There’s no shame in consistency, of course, but if you’re buying products for daily use, you’d better make them count. With a wealth of Canadian-made products — from shaving sets to night serums — shopping local is a breeze. Check out a few of our favourite grooming and skincare companies in Canada to keep your morning routine top-notch (and tariff-proof).
MANJULA Essentials
Learn More
Simple, versatile, and all-natural: at MANJULA Essentials, each product embodies these three tenets. After struggling with eczema at a young age, founder Karishma Pranjivan embraced oil-based skincare: “I became extremely conscious of my skin and its erratic fluctuations,” she writes. “I started to pay closer attention to what my body needed.” This interest sparked the flame that later became MANJULA Essentials. Today, the label synthesizes Ayurvedic principles — a holistic medicine system with roots in ancient India — and contemporary Canadian chemistry, creating a wide range of dewy treatments for the hair, face, and body.
Collage

At Collage, age isn’t an adversary. Instead, the BC-based skincare brand is proudly “pro-aging” — here, it’s all about embracing your skin’s evolution. Sustainably sourced and ethically made, Collage’s signature formulas supply plenty of moisture and protection. Key botanicals include green tea, aloe vera, and willow bark.
SSSOAPS

Simple as it is, soap is a key style choice. A signature bar of soap in the shower forms the base layer of your grooming routine — and SSSOAPS handles this step with care. At a boutique studio in Toronto, SSSOAPS fashions everything by hand. Its products (soaps, obviously, alongside other aromatics and fragrances) weave synthetic and natural ingredients together, maximizing function.
Skinfix
Learn More
If you’re especially prone to cosmetic calamities — whether that’s breakouts, eczema, discolouration, or redness — Skinfix is the gold standard of sensitive skincare. Proudly made in Canada, Skinfix collaborates with dermatologists to create world-class products. Creams, cleansers, and serums are clinically tested before hitting the shelves; dermatologists review each ingredient to confirm efficacy. Shop the online store (where you can filter by skin concern), or find the blue bottles at Sephora.
Henri et Victoria
Learn More
Traditional to the core, Henri et Victoria offers an elevated take on self-care. Based in Gatineau, Quebec, the label boasts an array of shaving sets, from razors (safety or straight) to pre-shave oil, beard balm, aftershave, and wax. Taking a customized, traditional approach to daily shaving, Henri et Victoria doubles down on slow-living.
REDAVID

At REDAVID, salon-quality style comes courtesy of fair trade ingredients. Shampoos and conditioners are loaded with scalp-friendly vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that leave your locks shining and silky.
