Made here, made small
Nova Scotia makers like The Cure and Rosemary Wellness sit beside the natural brands you already know.

Refill, don’t rebuy
Bring back your bottle for shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion and hand soap, and pay by weight.
Good to know
A few things worth knowing
Made in Nova Scotia
Local skin care worth a look
Some of our best-selling skin care is made a short drive away. The Cure makes its serums, creams and cleansers in Nova Scotia, and you'll find local soap, balm and body care from small makers across Atlantic Canada.
Look for the Made in Atlantic Canada badge online, or ask us what's new on the shelf.
Deodorant
Finding a natural deodorant you like
Deodorant and antiperspirant do different jobs: antiperspirant reduces sweat, deodorant deals with odour. Most people try a couple of natural deodorants before they find the one that suits them.
Start with the format you like best (stick, cream or jar), then pick a scent or go unscented.
Refillery
Bring your bottle back
The refillery at both stores has shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion and hand soap. Bring any clean bottle, weigh it empty, fill it up and pay by weight.
Sensitive skin
Sensitive skin: fragrance-free or unscented?
They aren't quite the same. Fragrance-free means no fragrance has been added. Unscented products can contain a masking fragrance to cover the smell of other ingredients. If scent bothers you, look for fragrance-free on the label.

Questions
Questions we get a lot
Something we didn’t cover? Call Bedford at (902) 835-9319 or Dartmouth at (782) 358-2374, or ask us in chat.
What do you leave out?
Parabens, phthalates, sulphates, synthetic fragrance and colour, mineral oil and petrolatum, formaldehyde-releasers and the other ingredients our team checks every label for.
Where can I buy clean beauty products in Halifax?
At either Luminate Co store: 486 Starboard Drive in Bedford, just off Larry Uteck Boulevard, and 590 Portland Street in Dartmouth, at the corner of Baker Drive. Both are open seven days, with parking out front. You can also order online for pickup, or for same-day delivery across Halifax and most of HRM when you order by 11 am.
What makes a beauty product clean?
There is no legal definition of clean beauty in Canada, so we use our own list. We check labels for parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrance and colour, mineral oil and petrolatum, and choose brands that are open about what goes in. Clean beauty products should still list every ingredient, so you can check for anything your skin reacts to.
Do you carry natural makeup?
Yes. Foundation, colour, mascara and nail polish from brands that meet the same ingredient standard, plus makeup remover.
Can I refill personal care products?
Yes. Both stores have a refillery for shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, hand soap and more. Bring any clean bottle; you pay by weight.
Do you have fragrance-free options?
Plenty. Unscented and fragrance-free products are marked on the product page, so you can find them quickly.
