The Beauty of Shopping Local in Niagara
There’s something undeniably special about supporting local businesses — and that same sense of connection, quality, and care comes alive when you choose locally made natural skincare.
Here in Niagara, shopping local isn’t just a trend; it’s a way to celebrate community, nurture the region’s unique landscape, and invest in small businesses who pour intention into every product they create.
With lush landscapes, rich agricultural roots, and a thriving small business community, Niagara has quietly blossomed into a destination for natural wellness. For those who call Niagara home, or for anyone who loves to visit, discovering quality, natural skincare crafted with integrity and care is both a joy and a privilege.
If you’re eager to jump right in, feel free to visit the Lovebee retail store or explore our online shop! If you’d like to discover why Niagara is such a special place for natural skincare, and how supporting local can make a real difference, read on as we share our story, our values, and how Lovebee is redefining wellness one handcrafted product at a time!
Discovering Niagara: More Than Just Wine Country
When most people think of Niagara, they immediately picture the thundering falls or the world-class wineries scattered across rolling hills. For those who know it best however, Niagara is so much more! It is a region defined by vibrant orchards, wildflower fields, exciting local boutiques and a deep-rooted community spirit.
Nature’s bounty is everywhere here. From farm-fresh produce at roadside stands, to artisanal honey and preserves, to the many small makers who harness this abundance, the Niagara region is a place where nature and community thrive side by side. This richness inspires us at Lovebee, and this region has been the perfect place for us to share our passion of transforming local ingredients into natural, effective, and sustainable skincare products.
In the Niagara region, natural beauty goes beyond the scenery — it’s a way of life. Wellness, authenticity, and a return to pure, honest ingredients are woven into the fabric of the area. Supporting local businesses is more than a transaction; it’s a way to sustain the landscapes and the people that make Niagara so remarkable.
The Benefits of Natural Skincare
Our skin is our largest organ, and what we put on it matters. Natural skincare is more than a movement — it’s a thoughtful return to gentler, safer, and more effective self-care.
At its core, natural skincare means using ingredients from nature — plants, herbs, oils, and botanicals —without the harsh chemicals and synthetic additives found in many mainstream products. Here’s what sets natural skincare (and Lovebee) apart:
No Synthetics. Only Nature.
Lovebee’s products are formulated without synthetic fragrances, dyes, parabens, or harsh preservatives. Instead, we rely on pure plant-based oils, botanical extracts, and natural ingredients that are safer for your skin and for the environment.
Skin-Friendly Nutrient Rich Formulations
Many conventional skincare products contain chemicals that can irritate or disrupt the skin’s natural balance. Our natural alternatives are both gentle and nutrient rich — nourishing your skin with vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids for healthy, glowing skin.
Transparency & Trust.
Choosing a local natural skincare maker means you know much more about what’s inside your products and how they’re made. At Lovebee, you’ll always find complete ingredient lists too —no hidden surprises.
Supporting the Local Ecosystem.
Selecting natural, locally made products supports sustainable agriculture and reduces your ecological footprint. Lovebee prioritizes ethical sourcing, minimal packaging, and environmentally friendly processes.
Why Shop Local for Skincare?
Shopping local is about more than convenience — it’s an investment in your community, your health, and the environment. Here’s why it matters:
Supporting Your Neighbors
When you buy from local makers like Lovebee, your dollars stay in Niagara, sustaining family-owned businesses, supporting local jobs, and preserving the unique character of the region. Each purchase is a meaningful investment in the community.
Peak Freshness
Local, small-batch products mean you’re getting skincare at its absolute freshest — crafted, bottled, and delivered at the height of quality.
Becoming Part of the Story
Shopping local means becoming part of something bigger. You’re not just buying a product; you’re supporting real people, local families, and a legacy of care and craftsmanship.

Product Spotlight: Lovebee’s Calendula Cream & Lavender Body Oil
Among our lineup of natural products, two absolute customer favorites truly showcase what Lovebee and the Niagara region have to offer: Calendula Cream and Lavender Body Oil.
Calendula Cream: Gentle Care for Extremely Dry Skin
Calendula, renowned for its soothing and healing properties, has been used for centuries to greatly calm sensitive or irritated skin. Our Calendula Cream is crafted using organic calendula flowers, gently infused in nourishing oils to create a rich, restorative cream — ideal for chronic dry patches, skin irritations, and daily moisturizing.
Why it’s special: We source the best organic calendula, infuse it ourselves, and blend it with natural organic oils and butters for a pure, effective moisturizing and healing formula.
Lavender Body Oil: Blissful Relaxation, Grown in Niagara
Lavender isn’t just a beautiful scent — it’s a botanical powerhouse for skin and spirit. At Lovebee, we proudly grow our own lavender right here in Niagara, harvesting and infusing it to capture its full benefits.
Our Lavender Body Oil combines homegrown lavender with skin-loving oils, creating a luxurious aromatherapeutic experience that soothes the senses and deeply moisturizes the skin.
Why it’s unique: The lavender you enjoy is planted, tended, and harvested in Niagara soil — a true “farm to bottle” experience.
The Journey of a Lovebee Product: From Farm to Family
At Lovebee, every product tells a story — a journey from seed to shelf. Many of our botanicals are cultivated on our own land or sourced from trusted Niagara growers who share our dedication to purity and sustainability. Our ingredients are grown without herbicides, pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, GMOs, or artificial additives.
Each product is handcrafted in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) to ensure safety, consistency, and quality. From ingredient sourcing and formulation, to batching, labeling, and packaging, every step follows strict protocols that meet (and often exceed) Canadian regulatory standards.
Before any product reaches our shelves, it undergoes rigorous testing and careful inspection — because your safety and trust is our highest priority.
Our Commitment: Safety, Transparency, and Sustainability
Real ingredients. Remarkable results.
We believe great products begin with great practices. Lovebee products are always free from SLS, sulfates, synthetic stabilizers, phthalates, parabens, artificial colours, flavours, or fragrances. Every batch is fully compliant with Health Canada’s Food and Drugs Act and Cosmetic Regulations, and all products are registered and labeled to the highest standards.
Transparency, integrity, and sustainability are at the heart of our work. From full ingredient traceability to our low-waste packaging and ethical sourcing, we aim to do what’s right — even when no one is watching.
Supporting Lovebee means supporting a business committed to making a meaningful, lasting difference in both your wellness and the wider world.
Lovebee’s Story: Rooted in Family, Driven by Purpose
Lovebee didn’t start as a business — it began as a deeply personal pursuit. Our very first products were handcrafted in our own kitchen for our home and children, using ingredients we trusted and time-tested recipes. As friends and family began to request our small batches, we realized we had something truly special to share.
Lovebee blossomed from a desire to help families like ours find wholesome, effective, and safe products they could trust. Today, Lovebee remains a small, passionate team devoted to creating natural wellness for every age and stage of life.
Our mission goes far beyond skincare. We strive to help people live happier, more holistic lives, and believe that when communities thrive, everyone benefits. From our grassroots beginnings at farmers’ markets to our charming shop in Fort Erie, every step of our journey has been shaped by authenticity, care, and a deep respect for nature.
