The New Now Canada

We're here for a little while, so how can we make the most of it?

With products that help us feel good, and suit our current low maintenance lifestyles, while also helping us feel safe.

Skincare in The New Now

In the New Now, we want a simplified facial care routine that provides deep moisturization and anti-aging benefits while protecting our skin, keeping it looking fresh and bright for our early morning video calls. We developed our Two-Step Complete Care Combo so you can take less time in the morning and still get all the same great skin benefits.

Haircare in The New Now

While we’re not necessarily styling our hair as much in The New Now, we’re still caring for our tresses with regular washes to keep them clean, hydrated and growing. With less access to our favourite stylists, a good shampoo can help us ensure our hair remains strong and healthy until we can go back to our usual routines. We've created a detox shampoo for you with aromatherapy and relaxation benefits to help our scalps and hair stay happy and healthy.

Color in The New Now

In The New Now, glam looks a bit different. We’re focused on looks that make our eyes pop, and products that help us perfect our natural glow. When a blemish pops up, we’re looking for a quick solve that fits easily into our new daily routine. While we’re not using as many products, we’re still having fun creating simple looks that help us feel a bit fabulous, whether it’s on video or above our masks at the grocery store.

Welcome to The New Now

The New Now really comes down to finding ways to make the most of our current situation. As brands and formulators, we can play our roles by creating products that can help consumers feel good, products that are low maintenance while offering a wide range of benefits and products that leverage clean beauty practices to keep consumers feeling safe. The best part of The New Now is that we’re all here together, and we’re here for a little while, so let’s make the best of it. We've developed 8 new prototypes to help inspire you as you formulate for The New Now.
