Anyone know a good Canadian Shampoo? I spent some time trying to find one and the best I could get was l'oreal for men, French company but it isn't clear where it's made.
Edit : I bought some shampoo and toothpaste from Green Beaver. If it ends up being good I'll probably swap to that.
A rather expensive but well performing one is Jack59. They make the only conditioner bar I've actually liked. The shampoo bar is great too but it's quite small for the price.
For cheaper options, I believe many store brands have more local packagers, but you'd have to look into each one.
I also use Unscented Company products but haven't tried their shampoo/conditioner.
Madeinca.ca lists a few others.
I'm about to order powdered shampoo and body wash from Singapore. Less mass to ship, right?
Attitude
I think Costco Kirkland shampoo is
Costco/Kirkland is a US brand, but they do sell slightly different inventory in Canada than the US, so I guess it's possible their shampoo is from a local supplier.
A surprising (and impressive) number of their Kirkland branded stuff is made in Canada, with a few even being product of Canada.
Yeah, it's still an American head office, but they treat their employees well, and they're pushing back against stuff like Trump's anti DEI policies, so I'm willing to cut them a bit of slack.
I'm still buying made in Canada there, though. Or made not in the USA (got beans from Mexico, prosciutto from Italy and olives from Greece as part of my last shop there)
