At Parlor No. 3, our anchor brand is our customer loved Pure Anada line. We have chosen to showcase this brand because we are aligned on values, product quality, and business philosophy. Below you will find a little more about the Pure Anada brand.

 

"Since the inception of Pure Anada, my goal has been to create a natural, safer alternative to traditional, mainstream cosmetics. I love the beauty of nature, and enjoy the challenge of assembling luxurious, organic ingredients into products for you to enjoy.”   

Candace Grenier (Formulator & Founder)

Ethical

Since the ingredients used in our products are sourced from around the world, we do our best to research the supply chain to ensure the ingredients we purchase are fairly traded. Our shea butter comes from a women’s co-op in west Africa. Our Mica supplier ensures that their product is mined ethically in India without the use of child labor. They own their own mines, fund schools and daycare centers so that the quality of life for their employees is fair.

Made in Canada

It’s estimated that only 5% of makeup brands actually have a hand in making their own product. The rest rely on third party, contract manufacturing companies to produce their line. Since the cosmetic industry isn’t well-regulated, there is room for dishonesty in labelling, and green-washing. Pure Anada products are made in a certified organic lab and manufacturing facility in Morden, Manitoba. 

Clean Formulations

Pure Anada's goal is to create luxurious, affordable cosmetics exclusively using ingredients that are derived from nature.  

• Instead of FD&C dyes, Pure Anada uses ethically-mined minerals and natural colorants.  
• Instead of synthetic fragrances, we use essential oils and organic food-grade flavors.  
• Instead of silicone polymers, we use plant-based oil, butter and waxes.  
• Instead of controversial preservatives, we use bio-based preservation systems.  

We avoid the “Dirty Dozen” ingredients used in cosmetics, as well as the Environmental Defense’s “Toxic Ten”.  For your reference, download the Just Beautiful Personal Care Shopping Guide or Gillian Deacon’s Wallet Tip Sheet.  To find out what natural and organic means to us, click HERE. 

Free from Common Allergens

Pure Anada is committed to choosing ingredients that are least likely to cause skin irritations and allergic reactions. With that said, it may still be possible to be sensitive to a naturally sourced ingredient. Pure Anada products do NOT contain:  Gluten (our Vitamin E is derived from Rice Bran or non GMO soy), Tree Nuts, Bismuth Oxychloride (common mineral irritant).

Cruelty-Free

Pure Anada does not test their products on animals, nor do they purchase ingredients from suppliers that do. Pure Anada has been certified as a cruelty-free manufacturer by the Leaping Bunny program. Pure Anada bamboo brushes are made of synthetic micro-fiber and therefore are also cruelty free. The majority of Pure Anada products are also vegan (contain no animal by-products).  Look for the PETA Cruelty-Free and Vegan Logo.
