The future of SKin care
"Feels like health food for your face... I'm definitely not settling for plastic-free, this is better than my previous go-to mainstream fancy brand."
-Kate G. One of our 300,000 beloved customers
'Clean ingredients' doesn't always mean 'Clean' Skin care
We've gone to the ends of the earth to develop beauty products that help us look and feel good, only to package them in materials that are known to leach hormone disrupting chemicals into our bodies and slowly choke our planet.
"Phthalates are added to a dizzying array of plastics, to make them flexible [and] durable. They easily escape from these products as vapors or particles, and are found in the urine of nearly every American, as well as in blood, sweat, breast milk, semen and ovarian fluids."
-The NewYork Times April 17th, 2020.
Is your 'clean' moisturizer leaving a dirty residue?
Is your 'clean' moisturizer leaving a dirty residue?
Imagine that every time you put lotion on your skin - even it's full of 'good ingredients' - you're also slathering chemicals that are linked to major health issues. It makes no sense, right?
"Called Endocrine disrupters, these chemicals are linked with developmental, reproductive, brain, immune, and other problems.”
- The National institute of environmental health sciences.
Women Are At Greater Risk
Women Are At Greater Risk
The evidence is mounting that the 'beauty products' we use - everyday - to look and feel good, are also increasing our exposure to the harmful effects of microplastics.
"Cosmetics, nail polish, shampoo, body wash, lotions and powders often contain phthalates, and use of these products may explain why women have higher phthalate levels in their bodies than men."
-The NewYork Times.
And So Is Our Planet
And So Is Our Planet
And let's not forget the laundry list of environmental - and animal protection - issues due to plastic pollution.
- Only 8% of plastic is recyclable - and it can only be recycled a few times.
- Plastic takes many lifetimes to decompose (none of the plastic made has ever decomposed).
- Plastic is made from Oil (a non-renewable resource) which is controlled by some of the most deadly regimes on the planet.
- Plastic is now found in the bellies of even the deepest sea creatures.
Now, I know what you're thinking.... I'll just use glass, but while glass can eliminate toxins, it makes no sense for single packaging and the reason? Climate change.
"While glass is unlikely to leach toxins, it's "heavier to transport, which can mean higher carbon emissions".
- The Globe & Mail, April 23, 2022
CHANGE BEGINS WITH INGREDIENTS, INSIDE & OUT
The new way to moisturize
The new way to moisturize
Our moisturizer features:
- 3 pillar ingredients you should expect from a quality moisturizer
- One breakthrough ingredient in moisture retention
- Our own - patented - packaging innovation made with backyard compostable ingredients that are as clean and effective as the moisturizer itself.
Pillar 1: Hyaluronic Acid - Moisture Retention
Pillar 1: Hyaluronic Acid - Moisture Retention
The first step to plump, glowing skin? Moisture retention. So it's key to include ingredients that help your skin retain water - and hyaluronic acid is among the best (keep reading for a new breakthrough, which may be even better).
"1 gram of hyaluronic acid can hold onto 6 litres of water – that’s 6000%! Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan, a class of chemicals that can hold onto water very efficiently, due to its very polar nature. Hyaluronic acid keeps skin firm and plump this way." -Dr. Michelle Wong, chemistry PhD, cosmetic chemist and science educator, creator of Lab Muffin.
Pillar 2: Squalane - Moisture Protection, Colligen Boosting
Pillar 2 Squalane - Moisture Protection, Colligen Boosting
Squalene occurs naturally in your body, but it decreases over time, leading to loose, rough and more saggy skin. When applied topically - Squalane, the more stable cousin of Squalene - helps retain moisture and increase collagen production, an essential component of maintaining healthy, plum skin as you age.
"So, when applied topically, squalane has tremendous benefits. Boosting hydration can help your skin appear more vibrant and healthier. The antioxidants in these oils and creams also fight skin damage and free radicals, which can both accelerate the aging process. According to research , squalane is also a detoxifier." -Healthline
Pillar 3: Vitamin E - Antioxidant, skin protection
Pillar 3: Vitamin E - Antioxidant, skin protection
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps to reduce the impacts of sun exposure. It's important to note that its benefits come after sun exposure.
"Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin with several forms, but alpha-tocopherol is the only one used by the human body. Its main role is to act as an antioxidant, scavenging loose electrons—so-called “free radicals”—that can damage cells." -Harvard School of Public Health
Breakthrough Innovation: Algae Grown Beta Glucans
Breakthrough Innovation: Algae Grown Beta Glucans
We partnered with a research facility in Southern Ontario that has developed a next generation moisturizer, using Euglena gracilis (a single cell algae they grow right in their facility) that produces a highly pure (>95%) and crystalline form of ß-1,3-glucan, otherwise known as beta-glucan, a moisturizng agent that can hold up to 20% more moisture than hyaluronic acid.
"Beta-glucans act as a humectant in the skin, and as such lock hydration in and prevent moisture loss. Interestingly, like retinol and hyaluronic acid which are two of the cosmetic industry’s most impactful products due to their high-water capacity - beta-glucans can do the same job - if not better. In fact, studies suggest that beta-glucans can lock in 20% more moisture than hyaluronic acid, and thus, beta-glucan can plump up the skin and make the skin feel even more supple." -Noblegen
Packaging so natural... we call it a Chrysalis
Packaging so natural... we call it a Chrysalis
Remember all that stuff about the chemicals from plastic that leach into your body? Well, we've spent the last 7 years developing natural, organic and backyard compostable packaging. We call them Chrysalis beautypods, inspired by the natural science & beauty that turns a green caterpillar into the beautiful and strong (these little beauties commute from Canada to Mexico each fall) Monarch Butterfly.
Our pods are made with
- Manitoban Hemp,
- Ontario grown, fresh water Algae,
- Natural waxes from the USA,
- Tree resins and
- Natural oils such as jojoba.
Our patented packaging is as natural as the ingredients inside, which means it can go on your skin and back to the earth without the fear of harmful chemicals and endless plastic waste.
Toronto Made,
Canadian Regulated
Canadian regulations are among the toughest on the planet, so we developed and make our skin care products here in Toronto, using clinically proven ingredients.
Chrysalis Beautypods are backyard compostable and are free from any harsh chemicals that could impact you or The Earth.
Our products are never tested on animals.

I love it!
It is light and easy to apply and the scent is pleasing but subtle. It doesn't make my skin feel hot. I don't know if it is making me look ten years younger, but I shall continue using it anyway!
What I was looking for
I just wanted a nice, eco-friendly moisturizer to deal with New England winter and summer. Now I have it, with a clean conscience and no plastic. Very satisfied. And it works better than the stuff I had before.
Health food for your face
This is great moisturizer. Very effective but light, not greasy. Doesn’t anger my sensitive skin. Full of good ingredients - feels like health food for your face. And a little goes a long way! Just a scant fingertip-worth is enough, at least in the midwest summer, I could see needing a little more in winter. I’m definitely not “settling” for plastic-free, this is better than my previous go-to mainstream fancy brand.
Feels so good
This cream is just perfect for me. I have mature skin. When I apply the cream it feels good. It absorbs quickly. My skin feels soft and moisturized until the next wash. Not greasy at all.
Light and Powerful!
I was skeptical as I have very sensitive aging skin. At 51 my skin needs some care. After switching to the Etee facial bar I thought I'd go ahead and give the face cream a try. SO glad I did! Lightweight but deep moisturizing without residue and I'm not putting more plastic out into the world. My skincare routine is set now. Though I'd love to see a face scrub at some point :)
Smooth and Refreshing
I enjoy using this facial moisturizer better than the one I was using!
Wonderful
Lightweight and so moisturizing!
I like it!
It’s nice and light on my aging skin.
Good face moisturizer
I have very dry skin and your cream really helps. I apply twice a day along with my sunscreen . It works well, and I will keep buying it.
outstanding!
I can't believe how incredible this moisturizer is and at this price point! Love it.
Love the new Face Moisturizer
I love the new Face Moisturizer. It is not greasy at all, like many other moisturizers. I do wish it was scented, to make it feel less medical. I will definitely by it again (despite being unscented).
New etee face moisturizer
I honestly bought it because I already like so many products from etee, but I half expected that the only thing I would like about would be the glass jar and plastic-free shipping. I was wrong! It is amazingly light, smooth and hydrating, even on my middle-aged face. And a little goes a long way. I will be buying it again.
Face Moisturizer
A little goes a long way! It goes on easily and makes my skin feel clean and soft and moisturized. I love that it is not heavy in texture and that there is no overpowering scent. I would definitely recommend this product! Great job Etee!
I love it!
It is light and easy to apply and the scent is pleasing but subtle. It doesn't make my skin feel hot. I don't know if it is making me look ten years younger, but I shall continue using it anyway!
Face moisturizer review!
I used this right away when it arrived. It is light, feels good on my face and I am going to use it until it is gone and then buy some more. It is quite lovely.
A Solid Moisturizer
I like this moisturizer. A little goes a long way, and it doesn’t have a scent. Although it contains hyaluronic acid it’s still very mild.
Moisturizer
I really like this moisturizer so far. It's very light and makes my skin feel so soft. Also, I noticed w other moisturizers that I've used that they tend to be very irritating if I get close to my eyes. With this moisturizer that hasn't happened! I would definitely recommend it!
Face Moisturizer
I like this product. It hydrates well, is not overly greasy and does not clog my pores. A little goes a long way so one jar will last many months. I would recommend it and plan to purchase again in the future.
