Here’s Why Canadian Beauty Brands Deserve Your Love - Imported or Not

The beauty world is full of trending products from overseas, and it can be easy to get swept away by the hype, especially with the promotion of cosmetics brands and online retailers on social media.

But when it comes to makeup and lash care, there are numerous benefits to choosing Canadian brands and local businesses. Supporting a Canadian company is about more than the product; it's about backing Canadian jobs and innovation, getting responsive service from teams close to home, and investing in strong communities.

What Defines a Canadian Beauty Brand?

Many believe that for a brand to be truly Canadian, its products must be sourced and produced within Canada. However, there's more to it than where the product was made. A beauty and eyelash extension brand can still be proudly Canadian through its ownership, locally based teams, and domestic operations. Even brands that import some of their products, like LashboxLA Canada, still represent Canadian entrepreneurship by creating jobs and contributing to the local economy.

Why Shopping Canadian Makes a Difference

Purchasing from Canadian makeup and eyelash extension brands is about more than just convenience. It’s a conscious choice with wide-reaching benefits.

Generates Local Employment and Builds Strong Communities

Homegrown brands directly fuel local employment and strengthen the economy. From warehouse staff and customer service reps to marketing teams and fulfillment specialists, Canadian brands create real jobs for people across the country. Every order from within Canada supports these jobs and a thriving local beauty industry. This is especially important during times of economic uncertainty.

Backs Homegrown Innovation

Embracing Canadian products means supporting homegrown innovation. For example, LashboxLA Canada now carries the Revive7 Plush Lash Growth Serum which is a Canadian-made product with a unique formulation that delivers noticeably longer, stronger, and healthier lashes in as little as 7 days with daily use. When you support Canadian brands, you're championing local talent, as well as inventive and results-driven product development.

Delivers a Better Shopping Experience

When you shop from the United States or outside North America, you will be impacted by longer wait times, exchange rates, steep postage fees, and duties. With Canadian fulfillment, you’ll enjoy faster shipping without having to worry about border delays or surprise fees.

Local businesses will also have customer support teams based in your time zone. This means you can count on timely assistance if something goes wrong, making your shopping experience smoother.

Promotes Transparency and the Use of Natural Ingredients

A study by Good On You found that 90% of beauty brands use fragrance ingredients, but 72% do not disclose the exact components used, raising concerns about health and environmental impacts. This lack of transparency was more prevalent among mass-market giants and department stores. Smaller, homegrown beauty brands prioritize formulations with clean ingredients and are more likely to disclose their full ingredient list to consumers.

LashboxLA takes pride in offering products that are always cruelty-free and made with high-quality, safe, and durable materials. Learn more about the LashboxLA difference.

Shopping Canadian also means connecting to local expertise. Lash professionals can trust they’re getting products specially designed to refine their craft.
