BKIND

BKIND is a Montreal brand founded in 2014 by Marilyne Bouchard, recipient of a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in microbiology. Having always had very sensitive and reactive skin, she quickly realized that the products found in pharmacies and supermarkets were not at all suitable for her skin, which prompted her to turn to natural ingredients to quickly realize the power of these on your skin.

BKIND is the result of the meeting between this interest in natural cosmetics and the knowledge of the founder acquired during her studies in microbiology. The best ingredients in the best recipes with the greatest benefits for you; this is what BKIND wants to offer you and what they promise you for the future.

SḴWÁLWEN BOTANICALS

Indigenous Beauty From The Land

Before there was a conversation about clean, green and natural skincare, there were communities of Indigenous womxn who cultivated and foraged for plants in the forests and meadows to use as food and medicine. Instructed by cultural teachings, they identified the plants that, when blended together, could unlock health and healing.

Today, Sḵwálwen (skwall-win) is an Indigenous skincare line that honors Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) plant knowledge and ancestral traditions by using sustainably harvested and sourced organic plants to balance, renew, repair, strengthen, hydrate and protect the skin. Sḵwálwen translates to “heart” or “essence of being” in the Skwxwú7mesh language. Each product has a Squamish name to honor the place where this plant knowledge comes from.

A protector of the collective and a keeper of knowledge, Dr. Leigh Joseph, PhD, whose ancestral name is Styawat, is the ethnobotanist, researcher, activist, and Indigenous founder of Sḵwálwen. She is also a mother and wife, a daughter and community leader whose aim is to help heal the intergenerational effects of cultural trauma within the Squamish Nation by learning, working with and preserving Indigenous plants, and carrying them forward into the modern world.

Weaving together the wisdom passed down through her ancestors and the knowledge gained through her academic career, Leigh acts as a living bridge between past and present, plants and people.

• Sustainably Hand-Harvested or Sourced
  • Each plant ingredient in our line is honored with love, respect, and an understanding of the intricate rhythms of nature. We follow the seasons, the lunar cycles, and the wisdom of our ancestors to select plants at their peak potency while ensuring their continued abundance.

We are proud to collaborate with other local growers, fostering a network of support and mutual growth. Together, we ensure the legacy of our ancestors thrives, rooted in the shared love for our lands and traditions.
• Native Botanicals
  • Our focus remains steadfast on the botanicals native to our Squamish Nation lands, the plants that have thrived in the soil of Sḵwx̱wú7mesh territory for generations. Each product embodies the spirit of our homeland, a tangible connection to the land that nourishes us all.
