Our Name

North Channel has a double meaning

It is inspired by the North Channel of Lake Huron, and it also represents connection: a channel between people and nature, traditional ingredients and modern skincare, local makers and the communities they serve.

In the end, it is about helping people reconnect with their skin, with simplicity, and with the North.

Grass-Fed Tallow

Skin-akin nourishment, rich in the fats skin recognizes.

Small Batch

Handcrafted in Northern Ontario, never mass-produced.

Simple Formulations

Botanical oils, honey, oatmeal: quality over complexity.

Why North Channel

I know what it feels like to want to hide your skin.

Melissa Phillips, founder of North Channel Co, on a sunlit wooded trail

For years, my skin affected how I saw myself. North Channel Co grew from that experience, and from my belief that skincare should feel honest, nourishing, and kind to the person using it.

I didn’t create this brand because I had perfect skin. I created it because I didn’t.
