We are delighted to announce an exciting venture that promises to reshape the cosmetics industry landscape: a prestigious trade mission from Canada to France. This mission is set to bring together the best and brightest minds in the Canadian cosmetics sector, fostering international collaboration and innovation. As Canada's cosmetic industry continues to thrive and expand, this journey to the heart of European beauty, Paris, presents a unique opportunity for Canadian companies to forge partnerships, gain insights into the latest industry trends, and showcase their products on a global stage. With France's rich history in beauty and fashion, this mission is not just a business trip but a cultural exchange that celebrates the artistry and science behind cosmetics. Join us as we embark on this transformative journey, blending Canadian innovation with French elegance and savoir-faire.

Introducing: Natural Organic Matters Skincare Founder - Chevon Riley

​NORM is an all natural and organic cosmetic company with a focus on skincare. We solve the problem of dry or severe skin conditions resulting from environmental exposure by providing natural products that work. We have commercialized 1 out of the 14 products available which is our Almond Balm body moisturizer. Hand-crafted with natural ingredients, it only consists of 3 ingredients! Almonds, Hazelnut and Litsea essential oil. This product allows your skin to lock in moisture for 24hrs guaranteeing softer and smoother skin after use. As such, it is perfect for eczema, dry or sensitive skin making it the perfect go-to product for locking in moisture without leaving your skin greasy.  This body butter also rejuvenates your skin, provides long-lasting hydration and effectively relieves redness/itching due to dryness. Our products are free from synthetic compounds or toxic chemicals.

NORM will be travelling to the Global Cosmetic Cluster Trademission in France to introduce our business to the French and European market. We hope to gain knowledge from industry leaders and form appropriate partnerships to strengthen and grow NORM within the cosmetic industry. It's important for NORM to experience global trends so that we can scale globally with relevance within respective markets like Europe. We plan to implement the knowledge gained from this experience in creative ways to maintain our competitive advantage in Canada. 

We hope other startups get the opportunity to experience the international market to gain exposure to other cultures and have an opportunity to think outside the box. Branding is everything.  The more you know about the market you wish to enter, the greater the chance of that respective market to welcome and accept the product you wish to offer. ​


Introducing: EC Studios Founder - Flavia Zhamo

EC Studios is a cosmetic research and development studio that provides 360 support to upcoming and established brands. We specialize in innovative and sustainable product design, collaborative IP development and small-batch manufacturing support. We've recently launched a DTC line, Everyday Chemist, where we design novelty formulations that transform expectations and elevate the everyday experience of personal care. We are a small nimble company that relies on our international partners to support our clients.

​We are joining the Trade Mission in France to expand our vendor network, learn about upcoming innovative technologies and meet potential EC Studios clients. Exporting has not only increased our revenue but also has increased our credibility. As of August 2023, we are shipping our product globally and our services are being offered in three continents. Our biggest tip for another startup as they begin their export journey is to have a clear scope of work, a contract, and a credit card on file.

Why we are attending Cosmetic 360

I am embarking on this journey to Cosmetic 360 in France to represent my Canadian beauty tech startup, and it is of paramount importance to us for several reasons. Firstly, we recognize the global nature of the beauty industry, and exporting our sustainable beauty tech products opens up new avenues for growth and collaboration. Secondly, attending this conference allows us to connect with industry leaders in R&D, manufacturing, and cosmetics, fostering invaluable partnerships that can drive innovation and expand our reach. Lastly, it is crucial to share our perspective on sustainability in the beauty sector, as it aligns with the conference's focus and highlights our commitment to eco-conscious practices. 


1 tip to fellow startups
​

As a tip for fellow startups venturing into export, I've learned that building strong relationships and understanding local market dynamics are key. Invest time in researching your target markets, forge meaningful connections, and adapt your strategy to fit the unique demands and trends of each region to ensure a successful international expansion journey.



We await the start of our trade mission from Canada to France that is set to begin in October. Our delegation are going have the privilege of engaging with industry leaders, exploring the vibrant beauty markets of France, and showcasing Canadian ingenuity on a global platform. Moreover, the highlight of our mission will be the Sustainability Symposium held in Bordeaux, where experts from  the industry convened to discuss and strategize sustainable practices in the cosmetics sector. This symposium will pave the way for a greener, more environmentally conscious future for our industry.
