12 Canadian-Made Soap Brands to Perk Up Your Handwashing Routine

It’s quite possible humans have never talked about hand washing as much as we have in the past two months. From guidelines on how exactly to wash one’s hands to 20-second suggestions of song clips to help time it just right (A Little Bit Alexis is our personal favourite), our sink routines have become a hot topic of discussion. Blue Ivy Carter, the precocious offspring of Jay-Z and Beyonce, even got in on the action, making a video to illustrate how exactly soap helps repel bacteria and viruses. To help make the mundane task of washing our hands a few dozen times a day a bit more pleasant, we rounded up some of the best hand soap brands in Canada. Support a local brand and spice up your life-saving sink routine. A win win.

Anto Yukon This small-batch body care company’s products are inspired by the Canadian wilderness and created in the founder’s Yukon studio. Locally collected and processed wild botanicals are incorporated into select soaps, oils, and salts, with all products made using only natural ingredients and scents. Even better, the colourful packaging features artwork by Meghan Hildebrand, an ex-Yukoner now based in Powell River, BC. Most of the brand’s bar soaps are named for various locations in Canada: the juniper and sage Miles Canyon, the sweet orange Atlin, the rose and patchouli Grey Mountain, the cedar and musk Clayoquot Sound.

Enamour “Minimalist skincare for families” reads this Montreal brand’s homepage, whose plant-based products are free of perfume, parabens, alcohol and petroleum. In an effort to minimize waste, its soaps are developed to have multiple applications. The Pure Baby Soap, for example, is made of olive oil, coconut oil and shea butter, and cleanses both skin and hair. The Bye Bye Bugs soap also doubles as both a body soap and shampoo, and is made with lemon eucalyptus essential oil to ward off mosquitoes (sure to come in handy when we’re allowed outside again).

CADEAU! 🎁❤ Vous vous souvenez de notre fameux bain moussant à l’eucalyptus ‘’Pourquoi aller au spa’’ ? Avec la situation stressante et incertaine que nous vivons tous actuellement du COVID 19, j’ai eu envie de vous gâter! Tout beau, tout frais, j’en ai fabriqué ce weekend et toutes les commandes en ligne recevront un gros sachet de 200g, de quoi vous faire plusieurs bains pour relaxer un brin. 🛀 De plus, nous avons rajouté pour cette semaine un rabais automatique de 15% sur tout le site web. Je veux personnellement remercier tous ceux qui nous encouragent via notre commerce en ligne en ce moment. Les temps s’annoncent vraiment difficiles et avec le *très* mauvais timing d’avoir relancer la gamme à peine 1 semaine avant que la crise éclate, chaque dollar compte. ❤
