At Fashion Monitor, we are organic beauty freaks, and nothing makes us happier than a launch of an organic skincare line, especially if it’s all-Canadian.



Bluebasins, Canada’s newest organic line of bath and body products, debuts with its line of all-natural handmade beauty products.

PHILOSOPHY
The philosophy behind bluebasins is that you should be able to pronounce the ingredients in products you put on your skin.

Most people who shop for products for their skin grab the closest item off the shelf without looking at the bottle or even reading the ingredients. What they may not realizes is that whatever you put on your skin is eventually absorbed into it and wouldn’t you rather absorbing something natural, created by nature.

“Take a look at your average skin care product,” says Makeda Paul, creator of bluebasins. “I am sure that you cannot pronounce all the ingredient names listed? And, if you can’t pronounce it, how would you know what it does or what it does not do to your skin.”

“Because the products are not mass produced, we are able to incorporate the best natural ingredients including Sweet Almond Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, as well as healing essential oils, herbal powders and salts”, adds Paul.

STORY
"bluebasins bath & body began many years ago with my great-grandmother who was the herbalist in a small Caribbean town in Trinidad & Tobago," says Makeda Paul, "Her knowledge of herbs, essential oils and flowers passed down through the matriarchs of my family includes her daughter and grand-daughter, my grandmother, my mother and is now bestowed upon me."

PRODUCTS
bluebasins bath & body’s natural skin care line is created by hand and with all-natural ingredients. No-nonsense packaging makes products include handmade soaps, facial masks, body scrubs, bath melts, and body butters affordable and fun.

We loved Mango Whipped Body Souffle made with sweet almond oil, avocado, soy bean and coconut oils, plus rosemary extract and aloe vera juice, among many other yummy ingredients. Its unique scent of a freshly cut mango with a hint of cocoa is another reason to use it again and again.

Another favourite is King of Cocoa Butter packed with cocoa butter, moisturizing oils and lightly scented with a chocolate mint fragrance. It’s gentle enough for face, as it contains natural antioxidants such as olive oil and cocoa powder. And to unwind after a busy day Shea Butter bath melts work just as fine as LUSH most delicious bath treats, although bluebasin’s version is smaller in size.

“Your skin is yours for life, so be fashionable with it. Bluebasins can help you look after it to make it as healthy and naturally radiant as possible,” concludes Paul.
