Going strong since 1974, this Vancouver mainstay offers a wealth of health and beauty products; the latter are curated by Tanja Salewski, the store’s beauty and product specialist. She is passionate and very knowledgeable – she even offers demos and makeovers in-store – fitting in with Finlandia Natural Pharmacy’s mission.
Shifeon sells a wide array of products, including several of the leading independent natural beauty brands. Green Envee Organics, John Masters Organics and Eminence Organics (which has been around since 1958) make body lotions, face wash, moisturizers and more – and this Robson Street shop is proud to carry them.
With a handful of stores in Vancouver and others scattered throughout the Lower Mainland, Pure Integrative Pharmacy is certainly convenient. Every outlet has health advisors who can answer your questions and guide you toward the best items for your own body and its needs. There’s a great selection of scrubs and cleansers – of the brands available, Sukin is one of the best.
This artisanal shop makes soap that smells like wine, looks like dessert and practically screams “try me out!” The business is a labour of love, and it takes pride in its sourcing products the way a farm-to-table restaurant would. The Soap Gallery also sells deodorants, body butters and more – watch for them at local farmers’ markets as well.
Treat yourself (or a loved one) to a facial using organic and natural products. The staff here are knowledgeable and can recommend products that suit your skin type. Try out the green tea cleanser or derma peel from the Rhonda Allison collection – Facial Expressions is the only retail location in Canada that carries her products!
