Before there was a conversation about clean, green and natural skincare, there were communities of Indigenous women who cultivated and foraged for plants in the forests and meadows to use as food and medicine. Instructed by cultural teachings, they identified the plants that, when blended together, could unlock health and healing.
Today, Sḵwálwen (skwall-win) is an Indigenous skincare line that honors Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) plant knowledge and ancestral traditions by using sustainably harvested and sourced organic plants to balance, renew, repair, strengthen, hydrate and protect the skin. Sḵwálwen translates to “heart” or “essence of being” in the Skwxwú7mesh language. Each product has a Squamish name to honor the place where this plant knowledge comes from.
