CANADIAN SELF CARE ESSENTIALS

Stepping into The Local Boom feels a bit like opening the door to a well-curated sanctuary. With more than 300 Canadian brands under one roof, the shop brings together home décor, handmade candles, snacks, skincare, and even pet essentials. It is a destination for anyone who wants meaningful pieces that not only feel good to use but also support the makers behind them.
For those looking to elevate their daily rituals, the selfcare offerings are especially inspiring. Wild Jasmine Apothecary is a standout. This woman-run, plasticfree line from Vancouver blends conscious living with beautifully made, all-natural products. Every item feels purposeful, perfect for someone who values sustainability without sacrificing indulgence.
Deew Beauty also brings a luxurious simplicity to the routine. Their hemp-based skincare is formulated to deeply hydrate and nourish, ideal for anyone seeking high-quality ingredients and a little everyday pampering. For more delicate skin types, Jubel Naturals from Burnaby offers gentle, plant-based options that turn even the most basic steps of self care into small, thoughtful moments.
Of course, wellness isn’ t only about what you put on your skin. Sometimes, comfort comes in the form of flavour. Zimt Chocolate, a vegan and ethically sourced favourite, offers rich, handcrafted treats that feel both elevated and mindful.
And for something a little indulgent, the shop’ s in-house line, Bare Skin By Steven, brings a touch of spa-style calm to any home. Their natural bath bombs, scrubs, and soaps are free of glitter and artificial foaming agents, focusing instead on clean, simple luxury.
Whether you are refreshing your own routine or looking for pieces that encourage someone you love to slow down, The Local Boom offers practical, soulful finds rooted in creativity and Canadian craftsmanship. Each item carries a sense of care for the user, for the maker, and for the small businesses thriving across the country.
