Here’s how to #shoplocal and protect yourself in one cart.
There’s no doubt that hand sanitizer has become an important item in each of our homes since the COVID-19 pandemic began in Canada – and chances are it will continue to be a staple in our post-pandemic lives, too. With global shortages of the product kicking in almost immediately, beauty brands have increasingly pivoted their production facilities to produce hand sanitizer for both frontline workers and consumers. If you’re in need of another bottle and are looking to #shoplocal right now, here’s which Canadian beauty brands are selling hand sanitizer:
Etiket
Montreal based skincare boutique Etiket is now offering its own hand sanitizer. Containing 80 per cent alcohol, the formula is also made with aloe vera and organic hemp seed oil to help moisturize hands. The spray bottle allows you to use it on your hands, as well as your devices. Prices start at $9 for the 9oz bottle, $15 for the 8oz or $21 for a duo package.

Nudestix
Cult Canadian beauty brand Nudestix has today announced the launch of its very own hand sanitizer. Available in clip packs of 5 ($10), a refillable 100ml to-go bottle ($9) and a 500ml family size bottle ($13), the brand says its formula has been “formulated with vegan-powered, good-for-skin ingredients” which help to hydrate hands and protect them from drying out. It also contains 62 per cent ethanol to effectively kill germs and bacteria and is Health Canada-approved. For every hand gel purchased on the brand’s website, Nudestix will donate one 30ml bottle to at-risk communities. Additionally, the brand has committed to donating 20,000 bottles to frontline workers across the country.

The Green Beaver Company
Launched in 2002 with a focus on providing Canadians with natural beauty products, The Green Beaver Company helps its customers to take care of themselves whilst also respecting the environment. As such, the brand has created a 100 per cent natural hand sanitizer ($7.99) that is Health Canada-approved thanks to its composition which includes 70 per cent ethanol, as well as essential oils. The vegan product also contains glycerin to help hydrate hands and is formulated without parabens, fragrance, SLS and phthalates.
