Canadian brand Ember Wellness creates organic, vegan and ethically-sourced skincare with a focus on “skinimalism.” This minimalistic approach to skincare shines through their single or duo-ingredient face oils and hydrosols. Ember also focuses on skin wellness with their own LED light therapy mask and luxurious gua sha tools. The newest Ember product showcases the brand’s commitment to innovation and sustainability, which I’ll share more about further down.

Ember Glow and Sculpt Bar
I’ve always wished that my shampoo bar were shaped like a gua sha scalp comb but had never thought about it for my skincare. Zero waste skincare has been gaining more momentum with water-activated tablets and solid serums, but Ember Wellness took it a step further with their Sculpt & Glow Bar. This is a solid face moisturizer made from twelve organic ingredients – and it’s shaped like a GUA SHA! It’s water-free, vegan, and refillable (replaceable). Before using this I have to make sure my serums and hydrators have dried. It has some mica to give a subtle luminous effect, so I would not use this as a nighttime moisturizer.
Ember Face Oils
Designed like they come from a modern apothecary, the Ember facial oils are made of two pure, super-critically extracted, organic plant oils that work synergistically. They have a grapeseed + plum kernel face oil, sea buckhorn + bakuchiol face oil and jojoba + argan face oil, each numbered one through five.
The 02 plum kernel grapeseed face oil and sea buckhorn bakuchiol face oil are my favorites. The plum kernel face oils is made of 50% plum kernel and 50% grapeseed while the 03 face oil is 90% sea buckhorn and 10% bakuchiol. The plum kernel face oil is an affordable alternative to Le Prunier Plum Beauty Oil which is made of the same organic prunus domestica seed oil. Ember’s organic plum kernel oil is sourced from Turkey. All Ember face oils are ISO 17025 Laboratory Tested and certified organic by Pro-Cert.
The sea buckthorn bakuchiol is a great anti-aging facial oil for mature skin. The version I used was very thick in consistency (which I enjoyed) but I believe they have reformulated it to be a lighter consistency. The sea buckthorn oil is sustainably sourced from Canada and the bakuchiol is sustainably sourced in India from the babchi seeds of the Psoraleo Corylifolia plant.
