Mother’s Day: Staff Picks

May 21, 2025May 8, 2025 by Natalie

Our team shares what they’d love to give the incredible women who inspire them every day.

Mother’s Day is the perfect time to show the moms and mother figures in our lives how much they mean to us. The Etiket team has rounded up their top gift picks – what we’d love to give the incredible women who inspire us every day.

“My beautiful mother-in-law, Anne Clune, always had the most radiant skin. Her secret? A fierce dedication to sunscreen and a love for simple, natural beauty. The ILIA True Skin Serum Foundation gives that same dewy, luminous glow while protecting your skin with SPF 40. It’s a true multitasker, just like Anne, who raised seven amazing children with grace and strength.”
ANNE MARIE, Boutique & Spa Director – Etiket Toronto

“My grandmother Eurides loved her multiple neroli fragrances so much, it was her favourite note of all time. This year, I’m celebrating her memory with BDK’s Villa Neroli, a sweet, fresh and bright fragrance, just like her!”
LUIZA, Makeup Specialist – Etiket Toronto

“My mom absolutely loves French Farmacie’s Sérum Radiant because it makes her skin feel nourished, smooth, and glowing. She says it gives her that natural, healthy radiance she’s always looking for — plus, she loves how luxurious and clean the ingredients feel! She also colours her hair once a month and struggles with very dry ends. She absolutely loves the Mela & Kera Smooth Ends Balm—it’s one of her staples and she always keeps a bottle in her purse! She goes through one every month. This product hydrates, smooths, and never weighs down her hair. It’s been a game-changer for keeping her coloured hair looking healthy and soft.”
JENNY, Fragrance Specialist – Etiket Toronto

“Born and raised in the islands of the Philippines, my mother Lilibeth was always surrounded by fresh mangos. Not only is it her favourite fruit, she also embodies the taste and feel of this exotic fruit – soft and sweet, nurturing and full of life. Xerjoff’s Cruz Del Sur II is the perfect tropical scent that takes not only me but my mother back home.”
ALLAN, Fragrance Coordinator – Etiket Toronto

“For Mother’s Day, I’d gift my mom a Balance & Ground Facial from Tata Harper. She does so much for others, so I’d like to treat her to 90 minutes of pure relaxation, just for her. The calm-inducing breathing, singing bowl ritual and face massage are the perfect way to help her slow down, recharge and feel pampered.”
GENEVIÈVE, Customer Experience Coordinator – Etiket HQ, Montreal

“Typically, I prefer to offer experiences or memorable moments as gifts; however, this year I have chosen to present my mother with the Advanced Anti-Aging Program from Vivier. For me, it only makes sense to offer a gift that is both useful and from a local brand (Vivier is a Quebec-based company celebrating its 25th anniversary this year!). Vivier’s programs are made up of essentials that ensure a complete skincare routine based on a targeted concern: from cleanser to sun protection to serum, it’s all there. The products are formulated according to the strictest pharmaceutical standards, rivaling those of multinational brands. Additionally, the highly functional (and beautiful) kit in which the products are housed makes it an ideal gift, whether for others or for personal indulgence.”
KARINE, Marketing Director – Etiket HQ, Montreal

Redness, Flushing, Bumps? Let’s Talk Rosacea

April 28, 2025April 25, 2025 by Natalie

Gentle skincare recommendations and tips.

April is Rosacea Awareness Month, a time to bring attention to the millions living with sensitive, redness-prone skin. If you are navigating rosacea, finding the right skincare can make all the difference. We’re shining a spotlight on rosacea and sharing our gentle, effective options designed to soothe, calm, and support your skin, every step of the way.

WHAT IS ROSACEA? + TIPS TO MANAGE SYMPTOMS

Rosacea is a skin condition characterized by redness on the face, small dilated blood vessels, pustules and swelling. Rosacea affects all ages and more than 3 million people in Canada alone. Left untreated, rosacea can worsen over time.

It is not known what causes rosacea, and there is currently no cure. There are products, however, that can help manage this condition. Here are five tips that can help you calm rosacea symptoms:

Go easy on your skin

You want to be gentle in every way with your skin. Look for calming ingredients in your skincare products and treat your skin how you would treat a baby’s. Quick tip: use lukewarm water when you wash your face – not too cold, not too hot.

Keep your skincare routine simple

Stick to the basics. The last thing you want to do is overwhelm rosacea-prone skin by mixing a long list of ingredients that will just do more harm then good.

Test skincare and makeup products before applying them to your face

If you’ve never tried a product or it seems that everything you apply to your face stings, testing can help. To test a product, dab a small amount near (but not on) your rosacea-prone skin. If it irritates your skin (burning, stinging, etc.) within 72 hours, you know not to use it.

Use sunscreen daily

The sun can worsen rosacea. Sun exposure is actually one of the most frequent causes of a rosacea flare-up. Even people with dark skin can have a rosacea flare-up after being outdoors in the sun. For that reason, we strongly recommend wearing sunscreen every single day to protect your skin from UV rays, but also to prevent a rosacea flare-up.

Avoid common food and beverage triggers

While alcohol is not responsible for the onset of rosacea, it has been identified as an aggravating factor, particularly red wine. But it’s not the only one: caffeine and spicy foods are among the most common triggers of the disease.

Your doctor knows best

If untreated, rosacea can worsen and/or become very uncomfortable to live with. We recommend visiting a doctor to receive a proper diagnosis and for the appropriate treatment to be prescribed.

CONTROL REDNESS WITH SUITABLE SKINCARE

Cleansers

Cleansers are a must in a daily skincare routine. However, certain cleansers can be harsh and stripping on the skin, which can cause rosacea to flare up. When selecting a cleanser, it is important to find one with soothing ingredients, free of alcohol and harsh irritants such as physical exfoliants. Also, make sure you wash your face with warm water, not hot.

HEXAM Gentle Cleanser
**VIVIER**

A gentle pharmaceutical-grade cleanser that helps clean and purify skin by removing dirt and oil. It contains hexamidine, a unique antimicrobial with powerful anti-redness and bacteria fighting properties.

Superkind Softening Cleanser
**TATA HARPER**

A supremely soothing, micro-foaming cleanser that’s non-stripping and works to gently dissolve buildup and impurities.

Toners

The harsh, alcohol-based toners we once knew are a thing of the past. Today’s toners are offered in an array of formulas, designed to treat pores, excess oil and overall redness and irritation. Our toner recommendations instantly hydrate and soothe the skin from irritation, making them perfect for those unexpected flare-ups.

Phyto-Calm Flower Mist
**GLO SKIN BEAUTY**

Get instant relief for reactive moments and parched, dry skin with this calming and cooling face mist. The soothing antioxidants cocoon and calm skin, settling any irritations or skin stress.

Refreshing Toner
**VIVIER**

This gentle, alcohol-free medical grade toner provides rejuvenating properties with the benefits of antioxidants to recondition the skin and helps restore its protective pH balance.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C serums are formulated with powerful antioxidants designed to protect the skin against environmental aggressors and to brighten the complexion. Studies have even shown that they help counter inflammation in the skin, making them ideal for those with rosacea. As always, we recommend you talk with your dermatologist or skincare specialist before incorporating a vitamin C serum into your routine.

The Serum
**AUGUSTINUS BADER**

A fast-absorbing concentrate with vitamin C and resveratrol designed to support total complexion correction, hydration and renewal. It balances and calms stressed, overly reactive skin and helps to reduce redness.

Targeted Treatments

In addition to using calming products, there are a few targeted treatments on the market that aim to correct redness in the skin. These products are formulated with specific ingredients to prevent and correct redness associated with rosacea. We recommend you use them after cleansing and toning, before applying your moisturizer and suncreen.

Anti-Redness Complex
**PRO-DERM**

A high-performance formula, specifically designed to visibly reduce the appearance of skin redness, soothe irritated skin and provide an immediate concealing effect.

Redness Solution Complex
**VIVIER**

This product helps calm and soothe redness, inflammation, irritation and bacteria present in rosacea-prone skin or irritated skin following aesthetic procedures.

Moisturizers

Dehydrated skin can lead to irritation, which can trigger rosacea. The right moisturizer can help keep rosacea flare-ups at bay. People who have rosacea-prone skin are often prone to dry, itchy skin which causes redness to occur. The right moisturizer will provide ample hydration, all while soothing the skin from irritation.

Barrier Build Skin Protectant Cream
**ILIA**

A non-comedogenic moisturizer powered by colloidal oatmeal and ceramides that soothes redness due to dry skin & strengthens the skin’s moisture barrier.

Regenerating Moisturizing Cream
**PRO-DERM**

A daily cream for sensitive skin, formulated to moisturize, regenerate skin and protect it from the elements. A great option following an aesthetic treatment or if you have red or rosacea-prone skin.

Masks

Masks can provide instant relief, as well as long-term benefits to the skin. These two masks are deeply hydrating and are formulated with ingredients that effectively reduce visual redness, discomfort and heat.

Hydrating Floral Mask
**TATA HARPER**

A hyper-hydrating mask with 1,000 sizes of hyaluronic acid to recharge dry skin, soothe redness, replenish lost moisture and deliver thirst-quenching hydration.

Phyto Corrective Masque
**SKINCEUTICALS**

This mask has been clinically tested post-procedure to effectively reduce visual redness, discomfort, and heat. It contains pure active botanicals, calming dipeptide and hyaluronic acid.

Sun Protection

Sunscreen is a must in a skincare routine to prevent skin cancer, early signs of ageing and hyperpigmentation. It is especially important for people who suffer from rosacea, as sun exposure is a top trigger for rosacea flare-ups. Our recommendations not only protect, but they also soothe and calm the skin.

Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense SPF 50
**SKINCEUTICALS**

A soothing multi-protective SPF 50 with calming tripeptide technology and bisabolol, suitable for sensitive and redness-prone skin.

Holi (soleil) SPF 50
**AGENT NATEUR**

A sheer, dew-enhancing skin sunscreen that soothes redness and irritation with chamomile-derived bisabolol, rosemary leaf extract, and green tea leaf extract.

Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense SPF 50 from SkinCeuticals

April 11, 2025April 9, 2025 by Natalie

Soothing protection for sensitive skin.

SkinCeuticals’ latest innovation, Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense SPF 50, is here!

Offering a hybrid blend of mineral + chemical ingredients featuring soothing technology to defend against UV-induced inflammation, you can expect it to calm sensitive skin, reduce redness, and improve skin texture while leaving a hydrating and transparent finish.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense SPF 50 offers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection for all skin types. The hybrid formula combines 7% zinc oxide and chemical filters with patented Netlock™ technology, a unique sunscreen innovation for an even distribution of actives and a light, non-greasy feel on skin.

It soothes and reduces visible redness, increases skin hydration, improves skin texture and protects the skin from sun damage. It is non-comedogenic making it suitable for acne and blemish-prone skin. It is formulated with organic filters to help offset the appearance of a white cast.

*Tip: Make sure to completely rub in the product until it is no longer visible and completely absorbed.

ADVANCED SOOTHING TECHNOLOGY

Hybrid Blend of UV filters

7% Zinc Oxide (mineral filter): A white powder that acts as a UV protective filter that reflects UVA and UVB rays. It also has astringent and anti-inflammatory properties.

+ 8% Homosalate (chemical filter): A synthetic organic sun filter that absorbs UVB radiation. In addition to protecting the skin from the sun’s harmful effects, homosalate is also a good solvent for other sun filters.

+ 5% Octisalate (chemical filter): An oil-soluble organic sun filter that protects the skin from burning UVB rays.

+ 5% Octocrylene (chemical filter): An organic sun filter, octocrylene absorbs UVB radiation, thereby protecting the skin from the sun’s harmful effects, such as skin aging and the risk of skin cancer. It also enables products to be water resistant.

2.5% Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8
Soothes skin sensitivity and helps reduce UVB-induced inflammation, protecting against sun damage. Did you know? Tri-peptides in skincare are used to help reduce signs of aging including fine lines and wrinkles by improving skin’s elasticity.

0.5% Bisabolol
Reduces visible skin redness (erythema) and inflammation.

7% Glycerin
Draws in and retains moisture, thus hydrating and easing discomfort. Glycerin is a powerful humectant with water-binding properties which support in delivering intense hydration. SkinCeuticals only uses vegetable-derived sources of glycerin.

Netlock™ UV Technology
Netlock™ polymer associated with UV filters for consistent SPF performance and a lightweight, non-greasy feel on skin.

The interlocking filters also provide greater resistance to water, sweat, and sand. This increased resistance not only makes the sun protection last longer, but also limits the migration of the product into the aquatic environment.

The result? A sunscreen that delivers broad-spectrum protection with cosmetic elegance.

HOW TO APPLY

1. For optimal absorption, ensure the skin is well moisturized before application.

2. Apply 2-4 pumps to face, neck and decolletage 15 minutes before sun exposure and before applying makeup.

3. The initial white cast is an application guide to ensure every area of the face is covered. After 3-5 minutes, the white cast fades, after which you can apply makeup.

4. Re-apply at least every two hours, or after 40 minutes of swimming or sweating. Re-apply immediately after any towel drying.

POWERFUL SOOTHING RESULTS

Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense SPF 50 was evaluated by over 90 diverse subjects (Fitzpatrick I-VI) with sensitive, sun-reactive skin over 4 weeks.

After 1 Week:

95.7% felt soothed throughout the day
82.9% noticed visible redness reduction
91.3% felt smoother skin

*PROTOCOL: A 4-week consumer test was conducted on 92 subjects with Fitzpatrick I-VI, ages 25-60 with visible or self-perceived redness/blotchiness, rough skin texture, or dull skin. 50 subjects had previously experienced skin discomfort/reactivity due to sun exposure. Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense SPF 50 was applied once daily in the morning as the last step in skincare routine with reapplication every 2 hours when exposed to sun. Efficacy was assessed at immediate, week 1, and week 4 patients.

The Importance of Sleep

April 3, 2025 by Natalie

To maintain glowing skin and a youthful appearance.

It’s a well-known fact that sleep is crucial to maintaining or enhancing one’s appearance and overall well-being. Without a good night’s sleep, our skin and body cannot repair itself from the damage it goes through daily.

Here are a few reasons why sleep is crucial to maintaining glowing skin and a youthful appearance.

1. Cell Repair & Regeneration

During sleep, the body regenerates and skin cells repair themselves. The production of collagen, a protein that keeps skin firm and elastic, is boosted at night. This helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve skin texture.

2. Improved Complexion

When we get enough sleep, blood circulation increases, oxygenating the skin better. This gives the complexion a natural glow and helps reduce dark circles and imperfections.

3. Stress Reduction

Lack of sleep increases production of the stress hormone cortisol, which can lead to breakouts, acne and a dull complexion. Good sleep helps regulate this hormone and maintain clearer, brighter skin.

4. Reduces Dark Circles & Puffiness Under the Eyes

When you don’t get enough sleep, the blood vessels under your eyes dilate, which can lead to dark circles and puffiness. A good night’s sleep allows these vessels to relax, reducing the appearance of dark circles and puffiness under the eyes.

5. Hair Strengthening

Sleep promotes the production of certain hormones, such as melatonin, which are important for hair health. A lack of sleep can lead to hair loss or weaker hair. By getting enough sleep, you can help your hair grow stronger and stay shiny.

6. Maintains Skin Hydration

Skin dehydrates more easily when deprived of sleep, which can lead to fine lines and dry skin. During the night, the skin works to recover its moisture and strengthen its protective barrier, especially if you apply a moisturizing cream before bed.

7. Improved mood and overall appearance

A good night’s sleep reduces signs of fatigue and improves your mood, which is reflected in your face. When you’re well rested, you’ll look more relaxed, smiling and radiant, which contributes to a better overall appearance.

8. Reduces Skin Inflammation

Lack of sleep increases inflammation in the body, which can lead to skin problems such as acne, eczema or redness. Quality sleep helps soothe inflammation and calm skin irritations.

Sleep is a natural beauty treatment. It allows your body to repair itself, your skin to regenerate, and your hair to strengthen. For optimum results, it’s recommended to sleep between 7 and 9 hours a night. Not only will you feel better, but your skin and appearance will benefit too!

A WORD FROM THE FOUNDER

“Crème 47 represents the entirety of why I started the brand 25 years ago, that is listening to the needs of consumers and providing them with products that deliver real results.

Innovation, science, technology, ingredients, and above all our customers culminate in Crème 47, and we are both proud and excited to share this milestone product as Vivier celebrates a quarter century.”

– Jess Vivier, Founder of Vivier

47 WAYS TO LOVE YOUR SKIN

Crème 47 contains 47 high potency, pharmaceutical grade ingredients, including:

✓ Peptides: help boost the production of collagen, protect existing collagen and elastin from degrading, improve elasticity, and target expression lines

✓ Ceramides: protect and strengthen the skin barrier

✓ Polyamine-DAB: an important anti-aging molecule that gets delivered to the skin’s epidermis and the epidermal-dermal junction which enhances the skin’s growth factors and cells, leading to enhanced collagen production and fuller, firmer-looking skin

✓ Vitamin C & Arbutin: help reduce the appearance of dark spots while preventing future unwanted pigmentation

WHAT TO EXPECT

Crème 47 rejuvenates & restores the skin in 7 essential functions:

✓ Improved texture: Skin is instantly smoother, softer and more supple

✓ Hyperpigmentation reduction: Works deeper in the skin to visibly brighten unwanted dark spots and damage while minimizing the look of future dark spots

✓ Inflammation reduction: Anti-inflammatory ingredients such as Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil and probiotic Micrococcus Lysate calms and soothes irritated skin, reducing the appearance of redness.

✓ Intense hydration: Boosts skin’s moisture content by delivering powerful hydrating ingredients to the epidermis

✓ Skin barrier support: Strengthens and protects the skin barrier with essential lipids of varying molecular weights to lock in critical hydration and prevent TEWL, environmental irritation and effects of damaging UV rays

✓ Antioxidant defense: Protects against environmental stressors and free radical damage that can accelerate aging. Encourages optimum skin cell health.

✓ Boosted collagen & elastin: Boosts production of and protects against degradation of existing skin-supporting proteins such as collagen & elastin

*Keep in mind:

Crème 47 is a luxe concentrate, not a moisturizer. While it does provide intense hydration and moisturization, its benefits go far beyond that of a typical cream or moisturizer thanks to the advanced MultiWeight Barrier Complex that protects and strengthens the skin barrier for healthy, hydrated and supple skin.

The need for an additional moisturizing or hydrating product will vary depending on your skin type, skin concerns and climate.

An Exclusive Bodycare Kit

May 29, 2025January 28, 2025 by Natalie

It's DEALBODIES 1st Anniversary!

Toronto-based DEALBODIES, dedicated to body care, is officially celebrating its 1st anniversary. To celebrate this milestone, we’re unveiling a special-edition set featuring the brand’s three best-sellers, available for a limited time exclusively in Etiket stores and online.

Think of this kit as the perfect toolkit to care for the skin on your body. Designed to repair textured and blemish-prone skin, it works to refine skin texture, even out complexion, boost radiance, and strengthen the skin barrier—delivering a healthy-looking, ultra-polished finish.

Inside, you’ll find High Gear, a clarifying body wash with 2% AHA (300ml), Cruise Control, a smoothing and plumping body moisturizer (300ml) and Rest Stop, a retinol resurfacing body serum (150ml).

A perfect gift to treat yourself!

RE (DISCOVER) DEALBODIES

Finding out that everyday personal care products were filled with 85%+ water-filler, was a dealbreaker. Revolutionizing the goop for good, Fashion and Beauty Editor, Krys Deal Lunardo founded DEALBODIES—rerouting basic body care to clean and effective active concentrates for active skin, through high-performance ingredients that aren’t derailed by dilution.

Eliminating water as an ingredient was the most effective and sustainable choice—allowing potent, dermatologist-developed formulas to successfully treat active skin, while reducing water-usage in production. Krys’ aim is to maximize every drop of your body care—so you can drive your best body forward.

THE FORMULAS

Made in Canada, DEALBODIES has been dermatologist and naturopath developed, in tandem with their lab of leading industry cosmetic chemists, who specialize in skin-of-colour, all skin types, tones, and textures.

All products are formulated without animal-derived ingredients or byproducts and are never tested on animals.

THE INGREDIENTS

DEALBODIES range of waterless formulas is stacked with a 3x concentrated base of antioxidant-rich hydrosols, plant oils, plants extracts, and actives, that penetrate deep into the skin—to nourish, repair, improve complexion, protect, and strengthen the skin barrier, effectively.

Their products are formulated with clean, effective ingredients—designed for active skin like acne-prone and blemish-prone skin, hyperpigmentation, postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, discoloration, and uneven skin-tone.

To maintain the highest clean beauty standards, they have formulated with intention and are toxin-free, eliminating 2,700+ ingredient dealbreakers from their formulas.

THE SUSTAINABLE CHOICE

Did you know that 1.8 billion people are facing water scarcity by 2025 and beyond, according to the UN? DEALBODIES chose to eliminate water from their formulas and reduce water use in production to support environmental preservation.

As a part of their environmental and communal giving, DEALBODIES donated to the Safe Drinking Water Foundation of Canada. Furthermore, 1% of their annual revenue is allocated to organizations that support freshwater preservation. Their contributions help to fuel their operational and educational programming—ensuring a future where all communities, including First Nations, have access to safe drinking water in Canada.

Their products are also certified plastic neutral, removing as much plastic from nature as used in their products through their partnership with rePurpose Global.
