ASK AN ADVISOR We want to hear from YOU!

Our recent Beauty Advisor poll was all about their customer’s skincare needs. It is no surprise that anti-aging serums top the list of products customers are looking for and asking about as they are most concerned about aging skin conditions. Our poll shows that customers are quite satisfied with the branded options for all skin types across the stores. Customers often think they know their skin, but our survey tells us that they don’t. In fact, 62% think they know their skin type until consulting with one of the beauty advisors. And of all of the categories across cosmetics, skincare is definitely the one they ask about the most with 86% voting for skincare with makeup in second and fragrance hardly at all.

Did you find that there is a product available for any skin type in your store?

Groupe Marcelle 75 Years Young!

2024 is a special year for Groupe Marcelle, Canada’s largest cosmetic manufacturer as it is celebrating its 75th anniversaire. 75 years strong, Groupe Marcelle is still a family-owned company that has been and continues to maintain a leadership position in the beauty industry.

Innovation is at the core of Groupe Marcelle’s story over the 75 years. The company’s focus has always been to provide high-quality cosmetic products to Canadians.

With roots as a local Montreal pharmacy, the company has grown into a cosmetic powerhouse with a national presence. Today, its four beloved brands – Marcelle, Watier, Annabelle, and CW Beggs and Sons – each offering a range of products, reflective of the unique needs of the Canadian beauty industry. The four brands grace the shelves of pharmacies and beauty boutiques across Canada and internationally, a true testament to Canadian success.

“ “ “ “

We source the finest ingredients globally, but we hold a special place in our hearts for Canadian treasures,” said David Cape. “This commitment to our heritage extends beyond ingredients. We believe in building strong relationships with the amazing Canadians who trust our brands, fostering a sense of community and celebrating what it means to be beautiful, inside and out.

For 75 years, Groupe Marcelle has been more than just a beauty company in Canada, we are Canadian beauty,” said David Cape, President of Groupe Marcelle. “From our humble beginnings as a Montreal pharmacy to becoming the nation’s largest cosmetic manufacturer, four generations of the Cape family have been dedicated to innovation and creating products that empower Canadians to embrace their natural beauty, with a distinctly Canadian touch.

Groupe Marcelle reflects on its 75-year journey and looks towards a future as bright and bold as Canadian beauty itself. The company remains dedicated to innovation, creating effective beauty products that empower Canadians to embrace their unique beauty. Groupe Marcelle is committed to giving back to the communities that have supported its journey, ensuring that Canadian beauty continues to shine brightly for generations to come.

With such a special celebration, we wanted to know more about the past and future of Groupe Marcelle. We took the opportunity to ask David Cape some questions about this milestone.

Congratulations on your 75th anniversary. What an incredible accomplishment for a family-owned company that had its start as a local pharmacy to what you have become today. What are you most proud of as you look back at the last 75 years.

It is difficult to choose just one thing. I’m proud that in every iteration of the company, we’ve continued to grow in new ways. We now have four iconic brands in our portfolio, Marcelle, Watier, Annabelle, and C.W. Beggs & Sons. And we see more expansion and acquisitions in our future.

I am also proud of the great team we have assembled; more than 350 talented Canadian employees call Groupe Marcelle home. Together we’ve created and marketed products that are beloved by a loyal and passionate group of customers.

Lastly, I would say that I am proud of the partnerships we have created with fantastic retailers across Canada and the world. When I think about the fact that we have 1,600 products distributed in more than 3,500 stores in Canada and abroad, that’s something we can all take pride in.

What are you most excited for as you look forward to the next 75 years?

I see so many opportunities ahead for our business that excite me. We’re focusing on innovation, both in our products and our operations, which fuels our expansion.

I’m always intrigued by looking at the new possibilities that innovation will unlock for us. We’ve recently made significant investments to upgrade Groupe Marcelle’s manufacturing facilities, particularly the filling lines and machines for liquid products like creams and mascara.

And in operations and sales, there is so much we can do to continuously make our customer experience better. I look at evolving trends in e-commerce and online retail with great excitement.

And there is no doubt in my mind that we have the talent and vision here at Groupe Marcelle to make this future a reality.

Why do you think Groupe Marcelle has been able to establish and maintain a leadership position in the Canadian beauty industry?

I would say that it comes down to our people and our values.

We’re here because we have a great base of customers who have come to trust our products in Canada and around the world. Cosmetics is a highly competitive business, and consumers have endless choices. Our customers choose Groupe Marcelle because they connect with our values — collaboration, respect, innovation, passion, integrity and quality — not just the product itself.

The same goes for our employees. Our people are the secret to our success, and we attract great people as we stick to our core values as an employer. We are fair with our people, we treat everyone with respect, we do good work, and we give back to our community.

What do you believe sets Groupe Marcelle apart from other manufacturers in this industry?

As a Canadian company, our brands and our products are reflective of the diversity of our country and climate to meet the unique needs of Canadians. Our products are locally made and derived from powerful Canadian ingredients including Labrador Tea, Boreal Spruce, Algae, and Edelweiss Flower to deliver innovative, effective, and highquality products to consumers worldwide.

Our winters are a good example — you don’t need the same formula or ingredients when you live in a yearlong warm climate. Winter is harsh on our skin; we know it, we live it, so we can formulate accordingly. That’s just an example of how we can leverage our distinctiveness as a Canadian brand.

Simply put, we’re creating innovative products right here in Canada and we have great partnerships with local suppliers.

How different is the company today under your leadership? What, if anything has changed in your 30 years with the organization?

I believe each generation of the Cape family has brought a unique vision and set of skills that has helped the company grow. It is certainly different today, compared to when my grandfather first established it as a single pharmacy. But the core values have always been the same.

For a long time, Groupe Marcelle was just the brand Marcelle. My grandfather first acquired the distribution and production rights for Marcelle in Canada.

In 1999, we made the strategic move to acquire Annabelle, and that experience equipped us for the acquisition of Watier and the creation of CW Beggs and Sons in 2016. All these acquisitions took place during my tenure as president. It’s safe to say that growth has been one of the hallmarks of the past 30 years.

We’ve also observed a dramatic shift in our customers’ behaviour and values. E-commerce, social media, and online retail are all innovations that have taken place in the past 30 years, that our customers now view as commonplace or even expected. We pride ourselves on being close to our consumers, listening to them, and really understanding what they need and want.

What is the longest-standing product across the portfolio? When was it developed and why do you think it continues to be relevant?

Moisture Essential Cream stands as one of Marcelle’s pioneering products, introduced shortly after the brand’s inception. While the formula has undergone minor enhancements in the past two years to incorporate additional hydrating agents, its essence remains largely unchanged.

Marcelle’s unwavering commitment to safe, gentle, and hypoallergenic skincare, along with a focus on simple yet effective formulations, has been a cornerstone of the brand since its establishment 150 years ago. The Moisture Essential Cream exemplifies these principles, offering soothing and hydrating benefits for even the most sensitive skin.

This enduring popularity can be attributed to Marcelle’s consistent adherence to its core values and the cream’s ability to deliver on its promise of providing essential moisture without irritation. If you could make a dream come true for the business, what would that be and why?

My hope is we are not only known as a premier Canadian brand in Canada, but a beacon of Canadian success globally. We’re increasing our marketing efforts and retailer activations across Canada and the globe.

For me personally, I just want Groupe Marcelle to be known for its dedication to its customers, its craft, and its people. I want our brand to be remembered for its commitment to quality, for going above and beyond for customers, and of course, for being a great place to work.

If that’s the legacy of this business, that is a dream come true for me.

Will the legacy of the family-owned business continue when you eventually retire? Are your children interested and invested in Groupe Marcelle?

I am the third generation of my family to own this business, and yes, the legacy will continue for a fourth generation. I have the great privilege of working alongside two of my sons, Harry and Theo.

Seeing Harry and Theo choose to be a part of Groupe Marcelle has been an incredible experience. They have both sought out opportunities to learn this business by working with different departments and teams — from sales, to education, to brand management, to e-commerce. They both possess such a great appreciation for the products, and a deep passion for the industry.

What direction do you think they will take with the company?

Harry and Theo both have an impressive ability to understand our customers and look for ways we can serve them better. For example, they were among the earliest champions of e-commerce and online retail in our business. Today, those are core elements of how we serve our customers. I have no doubt they will continue to innovate and advance this company in ways that I have not even thought of yet.

The most important thing is, I have great confidence that they will continue to uphold Groupe Marcelle’s values — and our family’s values — no matter what path they take with the business.

My Earth My Body

By Frank Turco

Founded in 2006 by Melissa Harvey, Zorah was created by the properties of argan oil. Melissa was on her international development internship in Morocco in 2003 where she discovered it.

The fundamental brand pillars of Zorah evoke the core values that define its identity and shape its position within the industry. These brand pillars include a focus on the environment, fair trade, recycling and no animal cruelty. Zorah’s products are most used by consumers aged 35-54 (median 40 years old) and purchased by females (68.4%) and males (31.6%).

THE BENEFITS OF ARGAN OIL

Argan oil is full of benefits beyond the skin. Although not all of these are scientifically proven to work, there are cases where conditions have significantly improved.

At its core, argan oil contains essential nutrients. It offers antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties. It may boost heart health and help with diabetes. It has been known to reduce signs of skin aging and may also treat some skin conditions like inflammation due to infections. It may promote wound healing and may moisturize the skin and hair.

ORGANIC & NATURAL, HIGH-END BRAND –MANUFACTURED IN CANADA

The main ingredient in Zorah’s products is organic Argan Oil. Other Ingredients include: Hyaluronic Acid, Pure Silver Powder, Cocoa, Vitamin C ANTI-AGING (wrinkles, fine lines, firmness).

Interesting fact about the brand is that all Zorah products scan in the top percentile on Yuka, a beauty and personal care products app that deciphers product ingredients and evaluates their impact on your health.

The Zorah brand has grown outside of Canada with distribution also in the USA, Morocco and Dubai.

Zorah believes that sustainable development also means ensuring that participants in its production chain are not harmed by ruthless global commerce. Zorah buys its raw materials directly from development cooperatives, thereby

contributing to the equitable distribution of global wealth. Zorah’s production and distribution chain is eco-friendly from start to finish. The brand uses recyclable jars made from recycled plastic, glass bottles, shipping boxes which are reused multiple times before being recycled, pamphlets printed on recycled paper with plant-based ink, and display stands made from FSC-certified wood scraps.

Trend No. 1

Soft Rock

Need some extra shimmer in your routine? “Metallic eyeshadow never goes out of style, just like metallic jewelry. Depending on your skin tone, there is a metallic that can look natural on you,” says celebrity makeup artist Robert Weir. That’s why pretty washes of metallic eyeshadow were spotted on fall/ winter 2024 runways for Jason Wu, Chanel and Ulla Johnson. “Metallics are also versatile, taking on different textures from smooth to glittery and everything in between.”

To achieve a soft wash of metallic on your lids, choose your eyeshadow shade and formula (powder, pencil or cream). “There are great metallic cream eyeshadows and metallic eyeshadows pencils that last all day,” Weir says. Start by priming eyelids with a long-wear concealer or eyeshadow primer, which will help the look last even longer. Use a soft brush or your fingers to apply the eyeshadow. For a bit of depth, add a hint of dark brown eyeshadow in the outer corners.

Berry Moody

The fruit-inspired beauty trends keep coming. The latest berry shade to take over fall/winter 2024 runways at Anna Sui, Ferrari and LaQuan Smith: Cranberry.

“This trend can be a bit edgier and cooler than a traditional red lip look, and stirs up some nostalgia for old Hollywood and vampy looks,” says celebrity makeup artist Simone Otis.

A cranberry lip looks works best when you take the time to create your best skin look, Otis adds. “When you wear darker lip colours, the contrast can amplify any redness or discolouration on your skin.”

To get more longevity out of this look, Otis recommends moisturizing lips with a balm first; once it absorbs, apply a very sheer layer of translucent powder to the lips. Apply your lip colour, then perfect the shape and definition with a lip liner in a similar shade. Blot the lips and apply another layer of lip colour if needed.

The natural citrus scent promotes calmness and relaxation to help you wind down.

Increasing Reach and Impact To Support Those Facing Cancer

At Look Good Feel Better workshops, the importance of feeling seen, understood, and supported when dealing with cancer is frequently emphasized.

Feedback from workshop participants consistently highlights just how crucial the sense of community and connection fostered during these sessions is. Many people express relief in realizing they are not alone in their cancer experience.

This is what inspired us to create the Facing Cancer Together Podcast. The podcast helps to provide another point of connection and support to individuals who may feel isolated during their cancer journey – whether they attended a workshop or not.

with an individual listener. So, we reached out to people in different stages of their cancer journey with diversity in age, cancer type, racial background, and geography We also brought in experts to deliver practical information that also supported psychosocial care - just as we do in our workshops.

Is the podcast just for patients?

It’s for anyone affected by cancer— patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, friends and even coworkers. We hope by listening to the podcast, people realize there is no right or wrong way to approach cancer We are all unique in our needs –and those needs may also change.

What stands out for you?

It’s the incredible range of emotions and reactions from each guest – from fear, frustration, tears, and anger to laughter, love, c ompassion, and kindness. Because we are all human – and these feelings are universal. The openness and honesty of our guests is truly inspiring.

The of Oil Power

Solving Common Skin Concerns with Bio-Oil

In the world of skincare, oils have long been hailed for their moisturizing and healing properties. Among the myriad of products available, Bio-Oil stands out for its unique formulations and efficacy in addressing a wide range of skin concerns. We spoke with Justin Letschert, a Bio-Oil expert, to understand why oils are so powerful and how Bio-Oil products can transform your skincare routine.

The Science Behind Bio-Oil’s Effectiveness

According to Justin, the key to Bio-Oil’s success lies in its primary ingredient: oil. “The skin naturally produces an oily substance called lipids to keep itself healthy,” he explains. “To control how much moisture escapes and to ensure the skin always contains moisture, the skin produces lipids to sit on the skin’s surface and stop moisture escaping. When you use oil in skincare, you supplement these lipids and enhance the skin’s natural way of working. The result is better looking skin.”

This natural alignment between the oils used in Bio-Oil products and the skin’s own lipid production is what sets them apart from traditional moisturizers. “Traditional moisturizers – creams, lotions, butters, milks – all have oil in them, or sometimes wax. It’s just that they don’t have a lot of oil in them,” Justin notes. “Dryness is caused when the skin’s natural oily layer is struggling to do its job. Supplementing this layer with oil helps the skin hold in its moisture.”

Addressing Misconceptions About Oils

A common misconception is that oils should be avoided by those with oily or acne-prone skin. However, Justin dispels this myth, explaining that “the oily skin you are referring to is due to an overproduction of sebum. Sebum, whilst of course oily, is not the same as an oil. Acne is caused by sebum blocking pores. Oils in general are non-comedogenic (will not block pores). Because oil dissolves oil, there is more chance that an oil will dissolve sebum and unblock a pore rather than block it.” This insight is particularly important for individuals struggling with acne, as it highlights the potential benefits of incorporating oils into their skincare routine.

The Bio-Oil Product Range

Bio-Oil offers four oil-based products, each designed to address specific skin concerns. Justin’s favorite is the Bio-Oil Body Lotion. “It is three times lighter than the lightest body lotion we could find on the market and seven times lighter than the average body lotion, yet it contains more than double the oil that a body lotion would normally contain. We achieved this by developing shake-before-use technology. It really is a quantum leap forward in daily moisturization,” he shares.

Innovation and the Future of Bio-Oil

Since establishing a dedicated oils research laboratory in 2008, Bio-Oil has been at the forefront of developing oil-based skincare products. However, the brand is selective about product launches. “We will only launch a product when we know it is significantly better than what is currently available on the market. There are tens of thousands of products to choose from and we do not wish to add to this clutter,” Justin says.

Seasonal Skincare Adjustments

Integrating Bio-Oil into Your Routine

For optimal results, Justin advises consumers to consider their specific skin concerns. “We have two scar and stretch mark products - the original and a natural version, and two dry skin products – one for stubborn dry skin and one for daily moisturization. These are well researched (over decades) and clinically proven products, so if a person has scars, stretch marks, or dry skin, I would say stop using what you are using, and use Bio-Oil.”

Adjusting your skincare routine seasonally can maximize the benefits of using oils. “If you have a cold dry winter and hot humid summer and you suffer from dry skin, then use the gel in winter and the lotion in summer,” Justin recommends.

The power of oil in skincare cannot be overstated. Bio-Oil’s innovative formulations, backed by extensive research and a deep understanding of the skin’s natural processes, offer a highly effective solution for a variety of skin concerns. Whether you’re dealing with dryness, scars, or stretch marks, integrating Bio-Oil into your skincare routine could be the key to healthier, more radiant skin.

What was the impetus for the start of the Centre for Natural Products in 2019?

The research initiatives at the Centre for Natural Products (CNP) are a natural progression of Loyalist College’s commitment to serving the communities we’re a part of. For nearly two decades, the CNP has been developing its applied research capabilities to become an essential resource for small and medium-sized businesses to scale up, enhance their product offerings, and refine their processes. Our journey into applied research began in 2004 with a grant from the Ontario Innovation Trust and collaborative research with the University of Ottawa and a local biopharmaceutical company. This early work focused on developing sustainable extraction methods using supercritical CO2, primarily for plant-based commercial products.In 2017, in response to the burgeoning local cannabis industry, Loyalist capitalized on its accumulated expertise and became the first Canadian college to obtain a Health Canada licence for cannabis research. This milestone paved the way for the establishment of the Centre for Natural Products and Medical Cannabis – Technology Access Centre (CNPMC-TAC) in 2019. Now known as the Centre for Natural Products, the CNP has become the crown jewel of the college’s research initiatives, merging research excellence with education and an industry perspective.

What is the primary goal or objective of the Centre for Natural Products?

Simply put, the goal of applied research is to solve real-world industry problems.

We provide our clients with access to a variety of supports tailored to their needs, whether that is specialized technology, advanced equipment, or research expertise. In some cases, we provide licensed space rental, training, and testing services ranging from microbiological safety to shelf-life and stability. In other instances, a client comes to us with a specific challenge, such as refining a product formula or innovating a new production process, and we work together to create an innovative solution.

One of the key benefits of working with the CNP is that clients can keep any intellectual property (IP) generated by a project. This gives our partners the freedom to experiment and develop without the strings that come with IP concerns – it’s a crucial differentiator for businesses looking to innovate rapidly and effectively.

What industries do you cover in your research and is there one that stands out in your research?

The CNP serves companies across many sectors, including cosmetics and personal care products, food and beverage, natural health products, agricultural products, and more. We have also expanded into cutting-edge fields like cannabis and psilocybin. We’re proud to say that Loyalist was also the first college in Canada to receive a Health Canada licence for psilocybin research.

What are some of the success stories coming out of the Centre for Natural Products?

Over the past five years, we’ve worked with 72 clients on 167 projects, spanning three provinces and many industries. We’ve taken clients from proof of concept to global sales, and nurtured innovative ideas into award-winning products. One of our biggest successes is our track record for obtaining funding to support our clients. On average, for every $1 committed from a client, we leverage an additional $3 of funding, significantly multiplying their potential for innovation and impact. This allows us to support even the smallest of businesses in achieving their goals.

Our partnerships have helped to create a community of innovators who continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in natural products. Whether it’s a start-up or a seasoned enterprise, the real highlight is seeing our collaborative projects propel businesses forward, helping them reach milestones and breakthroughs in their industry.

As we are Cosmetics Magazine, what are some of the things the Centre for Natural Products has done in the cosmetics industry or what should/ can we expect?

The CNP works with beauty industry leaders who want to breathe new life into the cosmetics industry through sustainable practices. A key focus of this work involves investigating the benefits of upcycling and repurposing residual ‘waste’ and ‘end-of-use’ products to contribute to the natural product industry’s emerging circular economy.

For instance, we partnered with Cheekbone Beauty, a highly innovative Indigenous-owned cosmetics company that combines Indigenous wisdom with western science to create high-quality, sustainable cosmetics. Together, we explored the uses of grape pomace from Niagara Region wineries in creating sustainable, antioxidant-rich beauty products. The project involved successfully extracting bioactive compounds from winemaking waste, assessing these extracts for their antioxidant properties, and developing scalable, safe, and cost-effective extraction methods. We’ve also worked closely with Afiya Beauty, a natural skincare company that focuses on creating botanically based, evidence-driven ingredients to support skin health needs for people of color, using no harsh chemicals. The CNP works with Afiya to develop

For brands reading this and interested in your research, what is the best way for them to work with you?

Those who are interested in working with the CNP can visit loyalistcnpmc.com to learn more and fill out our Contact Form. You can also contact Loyalist’s Industry Partnership Officer Laurie Caouette by emailing lcaouette@loyalistcollege.com.

Are there benefits to incorporating Cannabis and Psilocybin into cosmetics? What product or products would make the most sense from a commercial perspective (i.e. moisturizer, sunscreen,)

Cannabis extracts are known for their potent antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, making them beneficial in certain personal care products. They are particularly effective in products designed to alleviate localized pain. Our current focus for psilocybin research is exploring its potential therapeutic benefits for conditions such as substance abuse disorders and treatment-resistant depression. We have not yet explored

As this issue is a focus on innovation, what does the innovation pipeline look like at Centre for Natural Products?

There’s a degree of fluidity based on the client. Some clients have a preexisting product which they’d like to improve, while others have nothing beyond a strong idea and entrepreneurial spirit. In either case, we’ll work closely with the client to pull information about the characteristics of their dream product. We’ll then develop a project plan and help obtain funding for the project on the client’s behalf. At the CNP, we prioritize responsiveness, clear communication, and collaboration with our clients. Once we’ve completed the project and developed the formulation or prototype, we’ll facilitate connections to manufacturing or regulatory partners for next steps.

In 2017, the government granted approval to conduct research on these two ingredients – why Loyalist and not another college or university?

The decision by Health Canada to grant Loyalist College the licenses to conduct research with cannabis and psilocybin was influenced by several factors. Firstly, we have a track record of excellence, and a strong foundation for trust and credibility in our research capabilities related to natural products safety and stability. Moreover, our strategic decision to apply for these licenses was driven by a clear vision to advance our research initiatives in areas that aligned with emerging sectors and needs in our region.

What accomplishment are you most proud of to date and what are you most excited for what is to come?

Our proudest achievements are many, but expanding into new research areas while rising consistently in the rankings of Canada’s Top 50 research colleges stands out as a significant marker of our success.

We had the opportunity to ask

Véronique Ros

International Training Director for the FILORGA brand, a few questions about what makes the brand so impressive.

Can you share the beginnings of the iconic brand, Filorga, and how it was founded?

Founded in 1978 by the visionary Dr. Michel Tordjman, a French aesthetic doctor with a deep passion for cellular biology, Filorga emerged from his dream to decelerate the natural aging process of the skin. Driven by a relentless pursuit to create groundbreaking anti-aging solutions, Dr. Tordjman established Filorga as the first French aesthetic medicine laboratory dedicated to developing injectables by medical professionals.

This pioneering journey led to the creation of the first revitalizing injections—a blend of essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, and hyaluronic acid, all designed to enhance skin quality and minimize aging signs. Over the years, Filorga expanded its expertise into skincare, encapsulating those same powerful ingredients with a technology able to diffuse this unique core formula into the skin. That’s what we call the NCEF Complex.

What Sets Filorga Apart from

other brands?

Filorga DNA is “aesthetic medicine in a jar”. This legacy, inspired by Dr. Tordjman’s innovative methods, continues to influence the brand’s skincare products, all of which contain the signature NCEF Complex.Each product is meticulously crafted using cutting-edge active ingredients inspired by aesthetic medicine techniques.

Filorga is committed to delivering visible results in just 7 days, as verified by independent laboratories, while maintaining high standards of skin tolerance.

This fall, the brand is introducing two new products: NCEF Revitalize Serum and Cream. Who are these products designed for, and what benefits do they offer?

These 2 additions are designed for those seeking a revitalizing touch and overall better skin quality. The products offer a powerful boost to skin quality, promoting smoothness, evenness, and brightness. Suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive, these products serve as a perfect complement or alternative to revitalizing injections, enhancing skin vitality and appearance.

NCEF-REVITALIZE CREAM

WHO IS IT FOR?

All customers who are looking for:

- a revitalizing cream.

- an action on skin quality [smooth - tonebrighten].

- a reinforced action on skin tone and elasticity.

NCEF-REVITALIZE SERUM

To be used day and night as the first step in your routine, right after cleansing. The serum will supercharge your skincare regimen by boosting the efficacy of all subsequent products, ensuring you get the most out of every beauty product!

WHO IS IT FOR?

All customers who are looking for:

- a revitalizing serum.

- an action on skin quality [smooth - even - brighten].

- an alternative or complementary action to revitalizing injections. Suitable for all skin types, even sensitive.

What makes the core formula, NCEF COMPLEX, a must-have in one’s routine?

Today, we have perfected the NCEF complex by selecting the 10 most essential ingredients used in revitalizing injections. Composed of Amino acids, coenzymes, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and hyaluronic acid encapsulated with a new generation technology which guarantees maximum effectiveness!

treatments typically received in a clinic?

For those looking to enhance their skincare routine at home, Filorga products complement professional services, maintaining and enhancing results with ease and efficiency. The clinical study done on the efficacy of our new hero is the most rigorous we have ever done!

What

is

the best way for beauty advisors to introduce Filorga to clients in Canada?

I personally like to kick off the conversation by asking a question that sparks curiosity: “Have you ever had an aesthetic procedure done? or « have you ever used a beauty product that uses the same ingredients as the ones found in injections?”. This opens the door to discussing Filorga’s scientific heritage and innovative approach. When introducing the brand highlight the advanced technologies behind the products, especially the NCEF Complex, and tailor recommendations based on individual skin concerns and goals. Emphasize the brand’s ability to deliver visible, long-lasting results for all skin types, encouraging customers to be consistent with their skincare routines for optimal outcomes.

Expert tips on head-to-toe care

Lora Grady

Thanks to social media trends like the #EverythingShower, the body care category is exploding, with more and more beauty brands expanding their lineups to care for the skin below the neck.

Over the past couple of years, brands such as Fenty, Charlotte Tilbury, Rare Beauty and Youth to the People have launched new body products, from cleansers, scrubs and treatments to serums, creams and more. These body care products go beyond the traditional offerings of a fragranced lotion — they’re innovative, grounded in wellness and boast the same benefits as some of the industry’s favourite facial care products.

“Consumers are increasingly recognizing that good skincare shouldn’t stop at the neck,” says cosmetic dermatologist and founder of Montreal’s Munk MD Dr. Roni Munk. He’s noticed a significant increase in interest in body care among his patients. “This holistic approach is driven by a growing awareness that aging affects the entire body, not just the face. People want their bodies to match their faces in terms of aesthetics, achieving an overall youthful and healthy appearance.”

Jessie Frampton and Florence Gaven-Rossavik, co-founders of Fuzz Wax Bar, have also noticed increased consumer interest in body care and as a result, they’ve expanded their retail offerings. When Fuzz Wax Bar opened 12 years ago, they offered pre- and post-wax care products. “As our brand evolved more into lifestyle, wellness and self care, there was a lot of strategy around the retail shelves,” Frampton says. Fuzz also recently reformulated its own lineup of products (which includes a scrub, oil, lotion and more) with trusted ingredients like niacinamide. They’re also developing three more products that will be available in December.

The skin on our bodies is different from the skin on our faces, says Dr. Munk. “It tends to be thicker, less sensitive and has different needs.” Body care products are formulated with more hydrating and nourishing ingredients to address issues like dryness and rough texture, whereas face care products are designed to be lighter and more suitable for the more delicate facial skin. “Using the right products ensures that the skin on the body receives the proper care to match the youthful appearance of the face,” Dr. Munk says.

The Ordinary is another popular brand that recently launched a body care collection with three products formulated for all skin types. “Research-wise, we didn’t have to look far, as we knew exactly what ingredients we wanted to include in our first venture into body care,” says Rita Silva, science communications manager for The Ordinary. The key ingredients include niacinamide and salicylic acid. The brand’s formulators and product safety experts selected ingredient concentrations suitable for the larger surface area of the body compared to the face. “We frequently received requests asking if products like Salicylic Acid 2% Solution and Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA could be used on the body, so we developed new formulations with the skin of the body in mind.”

When it comes to body care, Dr. Munk says, consistency is key. “Develop a routine that includes regular cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing. Pay attention to your skin’s needs and adjust your routine as necessary,” he says, adding that it’s important to stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet and protect your skin from excessive sun exposure.

How to Deal with 5 Common Skin Woes

Dr. Munk offers pro tips for these concerns.

Dryness: Use rich, hydrating body lotions and creams containing ingredients like shea butter, glycerin, ceramides and hyaluronic acid.

Rough texture: Regular exfoliation with gentle scrubs or chemical exfoliants, such as lactic acid, can help. Hyperpigmentation: Brightening agents like vitamin C can be beneficial. Loss of firmness: Ingredients like retinol and peptides can help boost collagen production and improve skin elasticity.

Keratosis pilaris: Moisturizers containing urea or lactic acid can help smooth the skin and reduce bumps.

Dr. Munk’s Head-to-Toe Body Care Guide

Follow these key steps to maintain healthy skin.

Cleanse daily with a gentle body wash to help remove dirt, sweat and impurities. Avoid harsh, abrasive soaps to help prevent irritation. If you’re looking for soothing benefits, you can look for oat-based products. Exfoliate once or twice a week with lactic acid, glycolic acid or salicylic acid to remove dead skin cells and promote smooth skin.

Moisturize by applying a hydrating body lotion or cream daily. Look for ingredients including shea butter, glycerin, hyaluronic acid and ceramides. Apply sunscreen on exposed areas to protect against UV damage.

Bonus tips: Incorporate products with retinol, peptides and antioxidants to help maintain collagen and skin elasticity. Vitamin C, niacinamide and licorice root extract can help brighten skin.

Francine Phillips

It’s not everyday that I get the opportunity to meet someone like Francine Phillips. From my first introduction to her, I felt her warmth, her compassion and her love for this industry and more importantly, for people. It was that first interaction that wanted me to share her story and more. So, I recently sat down with Francine over a bowl of pasta and wanted to share with you what I learned about this incredible person. She blew my mind and I felt nothing but LOVE throughout the entire talk…thanks Fran!

When did you first enter the Cosmetics industry and what drove you to join it

A. I have been in the Cosmetic industry for over 16 years, and I can’t believe how fast time has flown by. I felt so unfulfilled in my previous jobs and didn’t even know what I wanted to change. As luck would have it, the opportunity came for me to enter this industry, and I took it! That seems to be a theme in my life…walking through the door when it’s opened.

After many years of being in it, what has motivated you to stay?

A. I can’t imagine not being part of this industry. I am a leader in the business, and I look at that as a privilege and to find the recipe of longevity is a true gift. I have a saying and a passion which is to “Demonstrate and delight”. I live by this mantra and for me, it works. I am all about creating an opportunity for the clients.

What is your academic background? Did you invest time in a program focused on the industry?

A. I have an academic background and enter the business as a novice Artist. So much of my skill began on the creative side. I learned from Artist nurturing my natural talent and challenging my limitations. When I first started, it was all about me sharing my vision as I had a vision for each client. And thankfully, the clients allowed me to share my vision of them. But it didn’t stop there as I am always continuing to challenge myself to grow as an Artist and develop my skills. I am taking FX workshops to expand my repertoire. And as of late, I have been asked to teach at Humber College here in the GTA. I am so honored and privileged to be asked and given this incredible opportunity to share my journey with new students.

What do you most enjoy in your role with NARS?

A. That’s a hard one. I LOVE the Team and most of all our commitment to each other and the success of the business. Overall, the brand inspires me. I am very proud of my team and so proud of my NARS family.

If you had the power to change one thing for the industry, what would that be?

A. “The limited belief that what we do is not valuable.” I always think about the client and the value of each client but sometimes we are challenged by sales and that being the priority. Yes, it is critical to achieve the sales plan, but let’s not forget why we are here. We love and value our clients and we want them to look and feel their best and enjoy each and every product.

As you know, turnover is quite high for beauty advisors today so how can we motivate and encourage young people to think about a career in this industry.

A. I have been with NARS Canada for over 14yrs and there have been so many changes in this industry. I believe there should be more mentoring programs for budding and novice Artists. I learned so much from others and would not be as successful without their guidance.

Did you start in a store? If so, what was your experience like and how quickly did you make your move the brand side?

A. I started my career in the industry on the brand side as a Demo Artist and didn’t know much when I started. I began by applying make up on my son. He was just a teenager at the time and allowed me the opportunity to “test” on him. I learned a lot by having him as my model. And I learned about the names of the products as I wanted to be able to talk to the clients as a

subject matter expert. I would treat him like a full client experience. I was very fortunate after my start in the industry to move quickly to the National Artistry team.

What drives you? And conversely, what are some things you wish you could do away with?

A. Pure passion drives me forward and remains my compass. As an Artist I wish I could do away with lack of opportunity for ALL.

You are a finalist this year for a Beauty’s Best award. What are your thoughts on that acknowledgement?

A. Its an absolute honor to be nominated and be in the group of finalists. I am exceptionally proud and continue to strive to be deserving of the Beauty’s Best award. Its such an achievement to be acknowledged with this award, I am so grateful for the consideration!!

What are you hoping to achieve in the rest of your career?

A. I am a passionate Artist, but I equally adore education. I want to continue teaching not just at NARS but develop other Artists along their journey.

What 3 words best describe your journey in Cosmetics? What about your leadership?

A. Passion, Hard work and Luck are the best words that describe my journey. In terms of my leadership skills, I would say that I am a kind person. From that trickle down the other things. I take my people under my wing and give them my all – if you want it, I am here for you is my fave saying.

What achievement are you most proud of and why?

A. My coming to Canada was supposed to be a temporary move and I am so proud that Canada accepted me and challenged me to

help build the NARS business. To be part of a small team and support our expansion and success in so many different roles during my tenure are some the proudest moments of my life.

Also, I have recently been recognized as one of the top 4 Artists in the world by NARS Global team. I am humbled by this award and can’t wait to celebrate in NYC this October.

For those thinking about a career in this industry, what would you want to say to them?

A. Its not all about the glamour you must understand that IT IS a journey. You must want to be on this journey to find the rewards you desire.

Oh em Ghee

How the healing benefits of this clarified butter, used as an Ayruvedic remedy for years, can help your skin

By Lora Grady

As more skincare brands lean into using natural ingredients in new products, some founders are finding inspiration from their culture. Ghee, a clarified butter traditionally used as an Ayurvedic remedy in India and a cooking ingredient in many South Asian homes, is being used in skincare formulas for soothing hydration.

Ghee offers a wealth of wellness and skincare benefits, says Ghlee co-founder Arati Sharma. “In our Punjabi family, ghee is made fresh at home weekly and added to traditional dishes. In Ayurvedic practices, ghee is prescribed topically for dry skin, burns, and is beneficial for hyperpigmentation.” Sharma’s brother and Ghlee co-founder, Varun, always struggled with chapped lips. Their mother suggested he use ghee and he found it to be the best solution he tried. “Growing up, we remember our parents rubbing it on our elbows, knees, lips and any dry areas after they would make a fresh batch.” That’s what inspired the siblings to launch their own skincare company with ghee as the star ingredient. “The challenge to bring it into modern skincare that can be used in a lip balm (or other forms) is shelf stability,” Sharma says. “This is why we at Ghlee worked with our

lab and skincare chemist to create a formula that keeps ghee stable, with a 12-month shelf life.”

Dr. Geeta Yadav, dermatologist and founder of FACET Dermatology in Toronto attributes ghee’s rise in popularity as a beauty ingredient to the marketplace’s ongoing passion for clean and natural beauty products. She’s also seen the skincare benefits firsthand: “My mom uses ghee all the time and (in my professional opinion!) she looks 15 years younger than her true age,” she says.

Most skin types can benefit from using ghee, says Dr. Yadav. “Skin needs lipids to stay moisturized, and ghee is almost pure fat. It will help support the skin barrier and lock in nourishment to leave skin looking smoother and softer.” Ghee is also shown to have antioxidant, antiseptic and antibacterial properties. “With long-term use, one could see clearer, healthier-looking skin,” Dr. Yadav adds. She also points out that numerous studies show that ghee mixed with other traditional Ayurvedic herbs may promote wound healing, treat eczema and vitiligo, and much more. “Consider using a formulation that combines ghee with other ingredients frequently found in traditional Ayurvedic remedies, such as turmeric or licorice, to get even more benefit.”

Les très sympathiques Aliénor Massenet, parfumeuse et créatrice du nouvel opus féminin Million Gold for Her de Rabanne, et Christophe Raynaud, parfumeur et créateur de la version masculine, étaient emballés de partager avec moi la bonne nouvelle. Ces deux récentes versions du parfum flirtent avec les codes de la niche et la qualité des ingrédients y est pour beaucoup, m’ont-ils expliqué. Aliénor m’a confié avoir créé le Million Gold for Her avec trois autres nez : Une création à huit mains peut être confrontante mais, pour cet opus, nous avons généré une très fructueuse synergie. Nos egos de créateurs mis en sourdine d’entrée de jeu, nous nous sommes lancés dans un dialogue professionnel serein et avons découvert que nous avions des idées merveilleusement compatibles ! L’important était de respecter l’ADN du parfum initial. Alors, pas de chicane, juste du plaisir ! Ce fut une collaboration magique. L’inspiration de base a été l’emblématique robe en

Millions Millions Deux en Or!

Le printemps dernier, j’ai eu la chance de m’entretenir avec les créateurs des nouvelles versions de la très connue fragrance Million de la maison Rabanne. Bilan d’une conversation enivrante. Par Vânia Aguiar.

métal du couturier francoespagnol Paco Rabanne. Comment transmuter l’âme de cette robe dans un parfum ? C’est ainsi qu’est né Million Gold, le premier floral pensé autour d’une rose métallique. L’oxyde de rose est l’une des matières premières utilisées en parfumerie. Contrastée avec l’absolue de jasmin, la fragrance se fait encore plus féminine, plus élégante, plus sensuelle et luxueuse. En note de départ du nouvel opus se trouve un ingrédient spécifique : la tonkalactone, qui est souvent comparée à un mélange de vanille, d’amandes et de miel. On y a ajouté de l’essence de lavande du sud de la France. L’odeur crémeuse, onctueuse, très féminine qui en a résulté a été enrichie d’un accord minéral musqué littéralement envoûtant. Le Million Gold for Her est le premier floral de la maison Rabanne. Un floral minéral salé aux connotations masculines féminisées par la lavande et l’oxyde de rose, un mariage audacieux et hyper sophistiqué dont la créatrice est avec raison

très fière !Christophe Raynaud a quant à lui joué à l’alchimiste en tandem avec le parfumeur Quintin Bisch pour la création de la nouvelle Eau de Parfum Intense Million Gold pour homme. Rappelons que l’original était composé d’une surdose de notes ambrées boisées cassées par une note de rose, un mélange influencé par les parfumeurs du Moyen-Orient. Nous souhaitions façonner un boisé floral masculin autour d’un santal crémeux très addictif cassé avec une nouvelle addiction, un socle énorme, puissant et diffusif de bois. Nous avons travaillé avec certaines notes boisées comme le cèdre, le bois de santal de l’Australie, la feuille de patchouli et le cypriol pour un résultat chaud et opulent. Nous y avons ajouté un élixir de bois et de l’akigalawood, réalisé à partir d’huile essentielle de patchouli, un ingrédient unique obtenu grâce à la bioscience, pour une touche très vibrante et un sillage élégant. Pour mon plus grand plaisir, la note florale

de notre opus masculin tourne autour de la violette, dont je suis obsédé. Une note que j’adore tellement que l’une de mes filles s’appelle Violette, m’avoue Christophe en riant. La feuille de cette fleur, par exemple, donne beaucoup de fraîcheur en note de tête. L’absolue de rose plus une touche de poivre rose extrait au CO2, conjuguées à une facette plus boisée nous a permis de jouer en tête, en cœur et en fond avec la magnifique violette. Comme nous voulions respecter l’ADN du jus initial, nous avons tant pour le masculin que pour le féminin ajouté de la mandarine. Cet ingrédient phare frais et coloré de toutes les éditions donne un résultat pétillant et juteux. Les hommes friands de fraîcheur seront bien servis ! » s’exalte Christophe. La maison Rabanne a visé juste pour le lancement en orbite de ses plus récentes créations. Ces deux magnifiques effluves sont encapsulés dans des flacons mettant en vedette l’emblématique XL Link de Rabanne, détail qui demeure ancré dans l’histoire de la maison. L’influente mannequin Gigi Hadid et l’oscarisé artistemusicien Moses Sumney incarnent la modernité et la sensualité sans frontières, une toute-puissance définie par l’ivresse de l’or. Quand Christophe Raynard explique que les nouveaux jus Rabanne sont plus que des parfums, qu’ils sont une déclaration audacieuse qui réécrit la vision de la modernité en incluant et en associant les fleurs pour atteindre la flamboyance, on ne peut que le croire puisque, dès le premier pschitt, on se sent transporté vers un univers fort, lumineux et sans limites !

Indispensables Beauté

De nos jours, il est souvent difficile de donner son âge à quelqu’un. Parce que nous sommes nombreux à avoir adopté un style de vie plus sain et actif, une alimentation plus équilibrée et une routine beauté optimale. Cette démarche exigeante est payante ! Les soins du visage, par exemple, sont essentiels si l’on veut arborer une mine radieuse et un teint sans imperfections. Il faut pour cela qu’ils soient adaptés à notre type de peau et… à la température ambiante. Mais comment au juste se prépare-t-on à affronter la saison plus fraîche ? Après un été gorgé de soleil, on s’emploie d’urgence à réhabiliter et nourrir son épiderme. Opter pour un sérum enrichi d’actifs réparateurs et une crème hydratante riche est donc une priorité. Comme la saison froide peut déshydrater sévèrement la peau, choisir des produits nettoyants, des sérums et des soins hydratants plus nourrissants doit être le mot d’ordre. On se tourne donc vers des produits saturés en acides gras essentiels, en céramides et en cholestérol pour venir à bout des zones asséchées. L’automne est la saison de l’exfoliation, tant pour le visage que pour le corps. Se débarrasser des cellules mortes de surface permet une meilleure hydratation. L’heure est aussi venue d’adopter une crème de nuit à la formule très concentrée en rétinol.

unNaturel!Précurseur Yves Rocher

Le printemps dernier, j’ai eu la chance de visiter le berceau de la marque française Yves Rocher. Bilan d’un voyage de toute beauté.

Par Vânia Aguiar

Formant un formidable groupe de journalistes et influenceuses québécoises, nous arrivons à La Gacilly, commune de Bretagne qui a vu naître Yves Rocher, dont la vision allait chambouler les codes de la cosmétique mondiale. Le garçon puis le jeune homme expérimente en solo les multiples bienfaits des plantes pour la peau et crée sa première crème en 1959, fondant dès lors sa marque éponyme.

De nombreuses infrastructures ont été mises en place sous son impulsion, dont un jardin botanique proposant un circuit de 2 hectares mettant en valeur 1 500 espèces de plantes, dont celles utilisées dans la cosmétique et la parfumerie Yves Rocher, ainsi que la Maison Yves Rocher avec son musée immersif, son restaurant et sa boutique. Très attaché à son territoire, M. Rocher a également souhaité conserver une activité de culture avec plus de 60 hectares de champs biologiques à proximité de son village natal. Neuf plantes y sont cultivées en agroécologie : bleuet, camomille romaine, camomille matricaire, arnica, calendula, édulis, ficoïde glaciale, capucine et menthe, qui entrent toutes dans la composition des produits Yves Rocher.

Celle-ci a vu le jour dans le grenier de la maison familiale. En rupture avec la tradition en matière de soins, le jeune homme dédié à explorer et révéler les vertus des plantes créait avec inventivité la cosmétique végétale. Rien de moins qu’une révolution ! À l’Éco-Hôtel Spa Yves Rocher La Grée des Landes, lieu par excellence de communion avec la nature, on nous a offert une jouissive immersion dans la mythique mission de l’entreprise. Avec une balade sensorielle nocturne en forêt et des soins au spa puis la gastronomie bio et locavore du restaurant, notre séjour partait en force. Comme ses voisines, La Gacilly était menacée de mort par l’exode rural. Mais l’attachement de M. Rocher à son village natal l’a mené à en relancer l’économie. Aujourd’hui, l’entreprise Yves Rocher emploie quelque 1 700 personnes et fait rayonner la région dans le vaste monde.

L’approche biologique qu’on y déploie allie de bonnes pratiques environnementales, le respect de la biodiversité et l’utilisation exclusive d’intrants naturels, un choix très apprécié par les quelque10 millions d’abeilles du coin. Et ce n’est pas tout car, dans la droite lignée écoresponsable de la Maison, ses produits sont emballés dans des flacons recyclables contenant du plastique recyclé. Chaque infime élément présent dans les lieux visités était révélateur de la vision du précurseur fondateur, chaque détail était pensé non seulement pour préserver la nature mais aussi pour y sensibiliser le grand public. Il est aisé de comprendre pourquoi la population locale a embarqué avec enthousiasme dans la vaste aventure signée Yves Rocher.

Privilégiées, nous avons eu accès aux arcanes des soins Lift Pro-Collagène, la nouvelle gamme antiâge de la Maison. Ceux-ci sont issus de la ficoïde glaciale cultivée sur place selon les principes de l’agroécologie, donc sans compromis. M. Sébastien Duprat de Paule, le directeur de la recherche, de l’innovation et du développement – Ingrédients naturels et parfums de la marque, nous a gentiment expliqué que, avec 12 années de recherche en science végétale et 3 brevets, le Groupe Rocher a développé la cryoextraction, une technique innovante grâce à laquelle on retire de la plante fraîche les molécules nécessaires pour la formulation des soins Lift ProCollagène. Les résultats sont visibles dès la première application.

Céline Damour, directrice mondiale d’Yves Rocher, me raconte à son tour l’évolution de l’entreprise, sa proximité avec les consommatrices. Fidèle à la vision de M. Yves Rocher, la marque a su bien se positionner et se faire apprécier des clientes. Connue pour le très bon rapport qualité-prix de ses soins et leur efficacité hors pair, elle se démarque depuis toujours par son expertise botanique unique et par son respect de la nature. Protectrice des végétaux et de l’environnement, elle déploie des actions concrètes à l’impact fortement positif, dont est avec raison fière la directrice. Les mots d’ordre de la marque sont : expertise, poursuite de la recherche et bioinspiration. La cosmétique végétale originelle a évolué naturellement vers la beauté Dermo-botanique !

L’entrepreneur avant-gardiste Yves Rocher est décédé en 2009 mais, vu l’ampleur et la profondeur de son legs, il est omniprésent dans son coin de France. À tel point que, chaque fois que je tournais un coin de rue à La Gacilly, j’avais l’impression que j’allais tomber sur lui. J’aurais adoré !
