Our Story

Purely Handmade began at a weekend artisan market in downtown Kingston, Ontario, where founder Emma Wilson sold her first batch of lavender soap. Frustrated by long ingredient lists and synthetic fillers, Emma started experimenting with raw Canadian beeswax, Fair-Trade shea, and locally grown herbs. Word spread quickly; customers loved the transparency and the results. Five years later, our studio still pours every bar and whips every butter by hand, staying true to small-batch integrity.

Our mission is simple yet powerful: Empowering natural beauty through mindful craftsmanship. We source within 150 km whenever possible, pay living-wage premiums to farm partners, and never test on animals. Every jar you open celebrates Ontario’s rich agricultural landscape and the community that nurtures it.

Thank you for supporting independent makers and for choosing skincare that’s kind to both skin and planet.

How We Craft Perfection

  1. 1. Ingredient Selection

    We begin by hand-picking certified organic oils, Canadian beeswax, and therapeutic-grade essential oils from trusted local farms.

  2. 2. Small-Batch Mixing

    Our makers blend ingredients in 10-litre kettles, allowing fine control over temperature and texture for consistently silky results.

  3. 3. Curing & Testing

    Products cure for up to six weeks in a humidity-controlled room. Every batch undergoes pH and stability testing—never on animals.

  4. 4. Eco Packaging

    We pour into glass or compostable paperboard, seal with water-activated tape, and plant a tree for each online order.
