Self-Care the Ethical & Sustainable Way with Wychbury Ave


The last few years we have seen the term “self-care” pop up everywhere from social media to magazines ads. What does it even mean? The definition: The practice of taking action to preserve or improve one's own health. This can mean many different things like creating a morning routine, going for a walk at lunch time or taking 5 minutes at night to meditate. Another way to practice “self-care” is making choices with the type of beauty products we use on our bodies.

Understanding the ins and outs of the beauty industry can be very overwhelming. Making thoughtful choices about the products we use on our bodies requires a lot of time and research, and it can be a mind-boggling task to figure out what products are best for our bodies and the planet. Questions about animal cruelty, use of palm oil, packaging and environmental ethics are all things to consider when making a purchase. We have to prioritize a healthy beauty routine to promote a healthy lifestyle. That is why we wanted to share with you a company we have been using for a while now, Wychbury Ave. Owner, Melissa, hand-makes bath + body products using sustainably and ethically sourced ingredients.

Wychbury Ave is located in Esquimalt, a small municipality just outside of downtown Victoria. All of their products are palm oil-free, vegan and made in small batches from scratch with fair trade and ethically sourced materials. Melissa focuses on quality essential oils that are not produced from endangered plant species. From soaps, bath bombs to dry shampoo, it’s truly a one stop shop!
