With more and more consumers becoming aware of the importance of pursuing sustainable practices in their daily lives, it has never been a better time for people to revamp their beauty routines to be more eco-friendly. Enter Wolf & Pine Herbals: a unique, all-natural Canadian company perfect for those hesitant to make the switch to sustainable beauty.
Founded by Mercedes Byrnes, this herbalist-formulated, wild-harvested botanical skincare line is 100% vegan and created in small, handmade batches to ensure quality control. All of Wolf & Pine’s products come in reusable glass jars and droppers and a portion of all proceeds are donated to reforestation programs in British Columbia and Ontario, helping move consumers towards a low-waste lifestyle while reducing their own carbon footprint through exemplary company ethics.
With their deeply-nourishing, high-quality products and commitment to ethical business practices, Wolf & Pine’s skincare line will add some much-needed boldness to the clean beauty industry’s 2021 roster.
Wolf & Pine’s products are beautifully crafted to suit a minimalist aesthetic with clean labels and zero-waste packaging, but they add personality through off-beat, risqué product names like “Shroom Trip” and “Thots ‘n Prayers”— providing a fun alternative to toxic mainstream beauty brands while still having a sense of humour.
Down below are some of the brand’s most popular products.
“Cannabliss” Cleansing Melt
This facial cleanser gently melts away dirt, oil, and makeup to reveal brightened, clarified skin while protecting and strengthening the skin’s natural moisture barrier. Organic cannabis seed, schisandra, ashwagandha, and lavender work together to soothe irritation and redness while reducing excess oil production, an ideal replacement for harmful drugstore cleansers.
“Artichoke Me, Daddy” Clay Mask
No routine is complete without a weekly detox treatment, and Wolf & Pine’s bold alternative detoxes without the dullness. Based on sustainably-harvested seaweed and Jerusalem artichoke, the mask draws out impurities, neutralizes toxins, and clarifies pores without irritating sensitive skin.
“Cream Pie” Glow Polish
This powerful exfoliant uses papaya, pineapple, and banana extracts to gently buff away dead skin through naturally-occurring AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) revealing a bright, glowing complexion without over-drying the skin.
“Tight ‘N Moist” Youth Oil
Nourishing and hydrating with ingredients like rosehip oil, meadowfoam (a flower native to the Pacific North West rich in long-chain fatty acids), and chia seeds, this oil is full of essential nutrients that repair and maintain a healthy moisture barrier while reducing hyperpigmentation — ensuring health and longevity when paired with an organic moisturizer.
