About Canopy

At Canopy, we believe that nature already holds the best solutions for healthy, radiant skin. Our mission is to transform overlooked forestry byproducts — like tree bark — into high-value, high-performance skincare and sun care ingredients.

Rooted in Canadian forests and guided by circular design, we bridge sustainability and science to create ingredients that are as effective as they are ethical. By repurposing what was once considered waste, we give new life to natural materials while reducing environmental impact across the beauty supply chain.

Our work combines green chemistry, colloid engineering, and dermatological science to unlock the bark’s natural defence systems — antioxidants, and UV-absorbing compounds — and deliver them to the skin.

We value transparency, innovation, and respect for nature. We’re building a future where sustainability isn’t an add-on, but the foundation of beauty itself.

What We Do

We start with bark! After collecting bark from local sawmills, we process it and extract key components

Next, we ensure the compounds extracted meet quality standards for UV-absorbance, antioxidant activity, and viscosity

Finally, the extracted compounds are re-combined at specific rations to produce micro-beads with desired properites

Inspired by nature, backed by science.
