Skin Health Supplements & Skincare
Healthy-looking skin starts from within and is finished on the surface, so this collection covers both. Skin health supplements include collagen peptides that help maintain healthy skin; vitamin C, which helps in collagen formation to maintain healthy skin; and cod liver oil, a source of vitamins A and D and omega-3s that help maintain healthy skin. Topical skincare includes whipped tallow butters, natural deodorants, lip balms and botanical moisturizers made with minimal, recognizable ingredients.

Our naturopaths apply the same filter to a face cream as to a capsule: what is in it, in what amount, and can the maker document it. Ingestible products are practitioner-grade and carry a Health Canada NPN. Topicals are chosen for short, fragrance-conscious ingredient lists and small-batch makers, with preference for brands that publish third-party testing where they state it.
Top brands in this category include K'pure, Cymbiotika, ATP Lab, NFH and Tallow Terra. Best sellers are ATP Lab Total Radiance Collagen, Cymbiotika Liposomal Vitamin C and Tallow Terra Whipped Tallow Butter.

Frequently asked questions
Does collagen powder really help skin?
Hydrolyzed collagen peptides are licensed in Canada to help maintain healthy skin, and daily use over eight to twelve weeks is typical before people notice changes in hydration or elasticity. Pairing collagen with vitamin C supports the body's own collagen formation.
Why tallow in skincare?
Grass-fed tallow is rich in fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins that resemble the skin's own lipids, which is why small-batch makers use it as a simple, deeply moisturizing base. It suits dry skin and people who prefer very short ingredient lists.
Are these products safe during pregnancy?
Many topical products are, but some botanicals, essential oils and vitamin A-rich supplements call for caution. Check each label and speak with your health care practitioner before using supplements during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
