Canadian Family-Friendly Personal Care Brands To Stock Up On

Want to shop Canadian, but not sure where to start? We've rounded up some of our favourite personal care products, many of which the whole family can use. (We've also rounded up 15 great Canadian kids' clothing brands.)

“When you shop locally, you’re not just purchasing a product—you’re investing in the people and places around you and directly contributing to the health and vibrancy of your community,” says Tara Miller, owner of Health Hut, a Toronto-based body care brand and retailer. “If people can do their best to make thoughtful choices as often as possible and within their means, it can have a big, lasting impact,” she says.

Here are a few of the Canadian products we’re buying for our families right now. 

Health Hut Hand Soap & Body Wash in Basil, Peppermint, Blood Orange

We like that this liquid soap does double duty. Its bright scent is a welcome pick-me-up in the shower and also works great next to a sink for frequent handwashing. It contains therapeutic-grade essential oils that are safe for kiddos (and all ingredients are listed online, in case anybody in the family has sensitivities).

Three Ships Eye Hero Bio-Retinol Smoothing Eye Cream

Tired parents who are tired of the bags under their eyes should try this Canadian brand’s new eye cream that hydrates, smooths and firms. (Their Brighter Days Red Algae + Avocado Biodegradable Eye Masks also work wonders at depuffing and brightening and, in our experience, can be comfortably worn in the car during morning school drop-off.)

Attitude Toothpaste with Fluoride

In addition to an entire line of kids’ skincare, sun care and bath products, this Québec-based brand even has oral care products, just for little ones. (They also make adult skincare and hair care products and a full range of cleaners for your home—they can be a one-stop shop!)

Skinfix Eczema+ Dermatitis Relief Balm for Face + Body

They’re in the business of fixing skin issues and have a range of innovative solutions for everything from acne to chapped complexions. This steroid-free balm effectively relieves redness and itching caused by eczema. 

Omy Laboratoires Repair Hand Cream

With all the hand washing and sanitizing parents do, it’s important to have a hard-working moisturizer at the ready. This brand is based in Québec and B Corp-certified.

TIP: They’ve just launched NorthFinder, a bilingual platform designed to help shoppers find the best Canadian beauty brands!

Everist The Shampoo Concentrate

This clever, award-winning company has removed all the water from their shampoo formulas, resulting in thick creams that are packed into eco-friendly aluminum tubes. You simply squeeze a dollop into your hand in the shower, add water to activate, and then suds as usual. 

Saje Goddess Natural Deodorant Spray

This mineral salt-based deodorant is easy to spritz on, leaves no residue on your clothes and works hard all day. Plus, the scent is amazing. It’s a bestseller for a reason. 

Ghlee Lip Balm Original 

Influencers have raved about this fragrance-free balm that soothes dry lips with a blend of mango seed butter, vitamin E and ghee. (Yes, like the clarified butter you’ve got in your kitchen!) You could use this on the kids—or save it for yourself. 

Natracare Ultra Regular Period Pads

Since launching the world’s first organic tampon in 1989, Natracare has been at the forefront of sustainable period care. As a certified B Corporation, the brand offers a full range of eco-friendly products, including organic tampons, pads, wipes, and maternity care essentials.
