Skincare remains at the epicenter of many people’s self-care rituals. However, finding the right products for each skin type and different needs can be difficult. Modern skin care lines often contain an extensive list of non-readable ingredients, and potentially harmful chemical agents like parabens, and drying alcohols. Considering the skin is the body’s largest organ, it’s surprisingly that most people don’t give a second thought when picking up a product from their local drug store—not knowing if it’s beneficial for their skin, or just ladened thick with heavy marketing aspects. Not only so, but modern skin care lines are also notoriously expensive, often because of branding or endorsements.

Biovera is a Canadian organic skin care line that sought to breach the skin care market with their own line of natural and beneficial products for skin, hair, and body. They are continuous innovators and heavily invest in research and great partnerships to reduce the cost for the end-user. The money they save on marketing, is used towards improving the quality of the product. Biovera shared their outlook on product formulation and aspirations for their company in 2023 and beyond.

This natural method of preservation proved to be very effective and allowed us to avoid use of chemical preservatives.
