About Étymologie
Étymologie is a Montreal skincare brand created by a biochemist. Its approach is phyto-active, meaning it relies on plant-based active ingredients chosen for what they do on the skin. Examples include bakuchiol, often used as a gentle alternative to retinol, and Kakadu plum, a fruit rich in vitamin C.
Étymologie suits people who read ingredient lists and want plant-based care backed by a scientific approach. A serum or cream can be a thoughtful gift for someone who takes their skincare routine seriously. Quebec winters are hard on skin, so a good routine matters from November to March. The brand is a small, local Montreal business.
