Our Name

North Channel has a double meaning

It is inspired by the North Channel of Lake Huron, and it also represents connection: a channel between people and nature, traditional ingredients and modern skincare, local makers and the communities they serve.

In the end, it is about helping people reconnect with their skin, with simplicity, and with the North.

Grass-Fed Tallow

Skin-akin nourishment, rich in the fats skin recognizes.

Small Batch

Handcrafted in Northern Ontario, never mass-produced.

Simple Formulations

Botanical oils, honey, oatmeal: quality over complexity.

Why North Channel

Skin is never just skin.

“I didn’t create North Channel because I wanted to start a skincare company. I created it because I remember what it feels like to hate your own reflection.”

Melissa, founder

She is a child and adolescent psychotherapist in Northern Ontario, and she made North Channel so that anyone who has felt that way knows they aren’t alone.
