6 Skincare Brands Formulated With Homegrown Canadian Ingredients

If there’s one thing Canadians can be proud of—both today on Canada Day and year-round—it’s our abundance of raw wilderness, untainted by humans. And while there are plenty of stellar Canadian beauty brands out there for you to support this Canada Day, these five companies go one step further in showing their patriotism by putting all that untapped nature to good use and sourcing ingredients from the Great White North. Because really, who needs glacier water from the Swiss Alps or algae from the dead sea when there’s so much good stuff right here in our [9.985 million km²] backyard?

($28, Céla)

Look out for snow algae (the stuff responsible for all those pretty pictures of pink snow you may have peeped on Instagram) in products like their Essential Face Mist, sourced from the Canadian Arctic.
