beauty or health– it doesn’t have to be a choice.
 We know that don’t have to sacrifice luxury to stay healthy and save the planet. We know that woman want anti-aging crèmes that actually work. We know that men want a shave that won’t irritate their skin. We know that woman want to be able to use makeup that isn’t toxic. We know that dads want to be able to smell their wife’s perfume without getting a headache. We know that moms don’t want to put anything on their baby’s skin that could harm them. We know what it’s like because those are our concerns too. We're woman and men, moms and dads, and we’re passionate about helping you make healthy choices that will keep you looking beautiful, feeling good, and staying safe.
How else can we help you? What else do we know?
- We know that you’re confused with all the ‘greenwashing’ out there, so we filter out the ‘not so good’ organic brands from the ‘really good’ ones. Don’t get fooled by a pretty product that says it’s organic – it’s what’s inside that matters, not what the marketers say on the label.
- We know that some of you are more familiar with ingredients than others so we list all ingredients on every product; even among our high quality brands, some have better ingredients than others - we provide you with full disclosure so you can make your own informed decisions.
- We know that you like to support ethical companies, so research our brands (a lot!) to make sure the products are ethically sourced – no animal testing and no slave labour.
- We know that you like buy from companies that have a conscience. Most of the companies we deal are simply phenomenal ethical, charitable organizations who give a lot of their time and energy to saving the planet, cancer prevention, sustainable development, and so much more; we are drawn to companies who truly care about our world and the legacy we all leave behind.
- We know you like to have fresh products and since we have a high turnover rate you’ll never get old stock; we’re also super picky about storing everything by first in-first out, so it’s always fresh for you.
- We know you like products that have been tested and we don’t carry anything we wouldn’t use ourselves. Testing new products is pretty fun, so we don’t mind this at all!
- We know you like to shop Canadian and although not all of our lines are made in Canada, we strive to find what we want here first and if we can’t then we shop around for the best quality products and the most effective formulas from around the world.
- We know you’re concerned about reducing waste and we recycle everything possible. We always use the most eco-friendly options in everything we buy and use, and make a huge effort to reuse everything we can (hence some odd names on the boxes you may receive your order in!).
- We know you like nice people and good customer service and we’re friendly, fun, and really enjoy what we do…..we think that’s really important since goodness knows it’s not always the case when you go shopping! Come visit us – we’d love to meet you!

I founded Lilou Organics shortly after the birth of our daughter. Having a baby had suddenly made me an avid label-reader, and after realizing that all my name-brand baby products were full of chemicals and carcinogens, I tried to find products that I felt good about using on our new little angel.
I did find some - Earth Mama Angel Baby; still a favourite - and then ventured to switching everything else in my beauty regime. Trying to find products I liked was very frustrating since there were so few stores that carried high-quality natural products and I didn’t like buying my beauty products in the same place I bought my tomatoes and yams.
I had become obsessed with researching ingredients and brands and realized there was a huge need for an organic beauty boutique with high standards and great selection, so I passionately started a new career and I absolutely love being able to offer luxurious, effective, and safe eco-friendly products in a chic and inviting setting.
I truly hope that we can help you and your family lead a healthy, green, and beautiful lifestyle! |
