DRIFTWOOD NATURALS
Natural products for relaxation, aromatherapy, and cosmetics.
(Melissa) Growing up in a farming family, I developed an early appreciation for natural practices. By my young adult life, I had already adopted a conscientious approach to ingredients and a passion for clean products and their environmental footprint. My professional journey spans corporate marketing, design, operations, and project management, equipping me to manage and grow Driftwood Naturals, the venture I co-founded with Bruno.
(Bruno) My passion for natural products and deep curiosity have always driven my commitment to sustainability. With a background in large-scale manufacturing, I developed expertise in sourcing high-quality materials and solving complex challenges in sustainable development on both technical and chemical levels. These skills have been essential in building and growing Driftwood Naturals, the venture I co-founded with my partner Melissa.
Together, we established Driftwood Naturals in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec. Our products are handmade with natural and local ingredients, prioritizing essential oil aromas and botanical colorants. We are committed to offering handcrafted, non-toxic, biodegradable products in recyclable packaging—vegan, cruelty-free, and zero-waste. Our range includes essential oils, vegetable and massage oils, hair serums, solid shampoo and conditioner bars, soaps, soy candles, and more.
We believe everyone should be able to make eco-responsible choices at a fair price without compromising purity or environmental impact.
INSPIRÉ Nature INSPIRED – a slogan we live by.
