Meet Our Trade Mission Companies!

10/9/2023

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 Matter 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.

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.
