Publisher’s Note

Thank you to all who provided such great feedback on our spring issue. The I RECOMMEND issue is live – this issue is one of my faves as the voting comes from all of you readers and subscribers – so thank you for your votes. Did your product make the list?

As we move forward into 2023 and celebrate my second issue for summer 2023, there are so many exciting things to share with you. We continue to provide you with what is New in Stores along with Ingredients 101 as we do with every issue, but we also are bringing a new feature to you readers which I think you will love. I am so excited to announce that going forward, we will be translating our French pages to English – Oui, c’est vrai. We will be offering English translations on our website for all of you wanting and needing to know what our French content has to offer. This is an exciting new addition to the magazine that some of you provided feedback on, so thanks for letting us know.

Summer is here, or at least it will be, so of course our stories are focused on being outside, soaking in the sun (with the appropriate sun care of course) and enjoying pools, lakes or picnics in the park, and a few unwanted bugs, with family and friends. Look at what the BOYS of SUMMER are using on their faces, bodies, and hair this summer. We have a great editorial from Dr. Samuel Hetz on the appropriate ingredients for sun care this summer.

I am thrilled to announce the launch of RennaÏ – an experiential retail environment like no other in the beauty industry in Canada. I was fortunate to interview Christopher Novak, President, and Chief Creative Officer of RennaÏ and of course, that interview is included in this issue.

We have some big celebrations in this issue starting with ACI brands, a family-owned business that is celebrating 40 years in Canada. Wow – Happy Anniversary and congratulations to everyone at ACI.

We are sharing everything we can about one of the industry’s “Best Kept Secrets” - Amway. Yes, Amway has a story to tell with lots of history and we are sharing it with you. New and exciting initiatives also take center stage with L’Oreal leading the industry with a labelling initiative that is making a difference.

As always, I had a lot of fun working with the entire team – our editors Lora Grady and Vania Aguiar; our graphic designer Natalia; and the wonderful support of Amy and Michele and thank them all for their support, efforts, and energy.

Happy reading and happy summer!
