Alper Oils embraces small-batch beauty

- ALEESHA HARRIS aharris@postmedia.com

Canadian brand Alper Oils goes big on the idea of small-batch beauty.

Offering a lineup of natural and non-toxic products, the company's curated skin-care lineup includes face and bath oils, each one hand-poured in Quebec.

Co-founders and sisters Alana and Maddie Alper say they bring a unique perspectiv­e to the industry thanks to their shared background working in fashion and beauty. We caught up with the Alpers to learn more.

Q For those who aren't familiar, what is Alper Oils?

A Alper Oils is an all-natural skin-care and wellness line. All of our products are 100 per cent natural, non-toxic, cruelty free and vegan. Our oil blends were designed to target skin-care issues and promote emotional wellness through aromathera­py.

Q What makes it unique from other skin-care brands?

A What makes Alper Oils unique is our blends of essential oils within our products. They are designed to target skin concerns, but can also aid in calming the mind, reducing stress, anxiety and even insomnia.

Q Who is the target customer? A Alper Oils thrives on inclusivit­y within all genders or ages. However, we have noticed that the brand is quite popular with customers that are between the ages of 20 and 35.

Q Where are the products made?

A Our products are all handpoured in Montreal.

Q Is there a “hero” product in the lineup? If so, which one and what makes it so popular?

A Our hero product is definitely Dream Beam. It was originally formulated by Alana as she wanted something that would help heal her constant breakouts and inflammati­on. It quickly became a staple to our community as it is super effective, can be used on sensitive skin, and even under makeup for a fresh glowy look.

Q What is the price range for Alper Oils?

A We are at a mid-luxury price range. Our products range from $20 to $58.

Q Where can people check them out?

A You can check us out on our website Alperoils.com and on Instagram @alperoils.
