I have been using some brands for decades (e.g. Paula's choice) but would rather shop local. Does anyone have any favorite Canadian skincare brands they'd recommend?

I’ve only purchased their hair products, so I can’t speak about their skincare, but Cocoon Apothecary is based in Ontario.

Three Ships is out of Toronto https://www.threeshipsbeauty.com/

There's also Birch Babe and Attitude.

I'd be curious too

If helpful, this is a Canadian resource that I use when picking products because their recommendations criteria aligns with what I want (might not be the case for everyone)

The two brands I looked up so far were not Canadian, but I'd be curious about which ones are

I've tried The Ordinary/Deciem but their formulas are pretty basic the last time I checked.

Has anyone tried Marcelle or Neostrata skincare?

We had previously purchased body shop stuff, and they are UK based, so that's not a bad choice if you like their products, but Canadian would be better.

Thanks! UK works for me
