My Favourite Low-Toxic Skincare Finds in Guelph

My Favourite Low-Toxic Skincare Finds in Guelph

Something you may not know about me is that I try to keep my skincare routine as low toxic as possible. So many everyday products are filled with hormone disruptors and ingredients that just aren’t good for our bodies long term and honestly, it’s not worth the risk. Luckily, Guelph has some amazing local shops that make choosing better products so much easier.


Here are a few of my go-to spots and favourite brands:

 

  • Sunday Blooms
  • The Stone Store
  • Kennedy Park  
  • New Age Health & Wellness

 

Each one carries a range of natural and low-toxic products that are safe, effective, and often Canadian made.

Tried & True Favourite Brands


Three Ships: I’m obsessed with their algae eye masks and moisturizer.

Wildcraft: Their body cream is perfect for dry skin.

Cocoon Apothecary: The milk cleanser is sooo good!

Province Apothecary: One of the OGs in natural skincare; I especially love their toner.

Routine Deodorant: I may not be a cat lady (I’ve got dogs!), but the Cat Lady scent is my absolute favourite.




Brands I Can’t Wait to Try


I’m always keeping a running list of brands I’d love to add to my routine. Right now, these are at the top of my “to try” list:



A Treat for Your Skin: All-Natural Facials

If you’re looking for a little extra pampering, book a treatment with Kristen at Woodside Holistic. She’s incredible! Kristen not only uses natural products but even creates her own plant-based skincare from ingredients grown right in her garden.


Low-Tox Tip: The Yuka App

Not ready to break up with some of your favourite products? I get it. If you’re curious about how “toxic” a product might be, check out the Yuka app. You simply scan the barcode and it gives the product a score out of 100, plus a breakdown of the ingredients. It’s a super handy way to make informed choices.


Do you have a natural, low-tox skincare line that you absolutely love but I didn’t mention? Let me know! I’m always up for new suggestions!
