Elva’s All Naturals is a 🇨🇦 Canadian brand creating all natural, non-toxic, vegan, and cruelty-free home and personal care products. Proudly made in Prince Edward County, Ontario in small batches using premium plant-based ingredients. Our mission is to simplify clean living and make toxin-free choices accessible and elegant.
Our Mission:
Is to help people eliminate chemicals and waste from their homes and the planet. Our truly natural and effective skin care, hair care and cleaning products are made from PLANTS and filled with goodness, free of toxic chemicals and made with care, for people and the planet.
By creating products with sustainably sourced natural ingredients—including many from Canadian organic farms—and choosing lower-impact packaging such as bulk home refills, refillable glass and metal, and biodegradable wheat straw, we’re furthering our mission to help people reduce their carbon footprint, one household at a time.
It’s not just our mission—it’s our passion to create natural home and beauty products that support the wellness of both people and the planet while reducing unnecessary waste.
We make premium products with innovative, lower-impact packaging and formulas that never compromise on quality. From home cleaning and soaps to body washes, shampoo, skincare and refills, every Elva’s product is made in Canada, cruelty-free, and formulated to our strict ELVA Approved standards—not only for what goes in, but for what we deliberately leave out.
We also believe in responsible manufacturing that respects the health of both people and the planet. At the heart of what we do is a simple goal: to help people live healthier, lower-waste lives without compromising on quality.
We do that by creating excellent plant-based products without harmful chemicals, helping households reduce unnecessary waste and their carbon footprint, supporting the refill revolution, and following responsible, lean manufacturing practices. We also believe in giving back through consumer education, community involvement and support for environmental outreach programs.
We believe the presence of known toxins in everyday consumer products is both a social and an environmental justice issue. Exposure does not affect everyone equally: lower-income households and women can face disproportionate exposure to potentially harmful chemicals through the cleaning, personal care and cosmetic products they use every day.
The impact extends beyond human health. Ingredients that enter our wastewater can also affect the environment, including aquatic ecosystems. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), for example—a water-soluble synthetic polymer used in products such as laundry strips and detergent pods—has raised concerns about its environmental persistence and fate after entering wastewater systems.
This is why we are so vocal about the ingredients used in consumer products—and equally vocal about the ingredients we choose to leave out. It is one of the fundamental reasons Elva’s All Naturals exists.

Ingredients and Transparency:
We are pleased to list ALL ingredients on all of our products, allowing YOU the customer, to make correct and informed purchasing decisions. We are real people who take our customers questions and inquiries seriously and therefore, if there is something you want to know, ask us and we will respond. We also list all ingredients on our cleaning products, even though this is not yet (but we feel it should be) standard practice.
All of our products are SLS/SLES and sulfate-free, PVA-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free, palm-free, phosphate-free and artificial fragrance-free. Most are also vegan (with the exception of organic honey in the facial scrub). All are cruelty-free; we love animals very much. We source and use certified organic, certified biodynamic, wild-crafted and local Canadian ingredients wherever possible.
We take a hard stand against using any ingredients appearing on any published "unacceptable lists" as determined by Health Canada, David Suzuki, The Environmental Working Group, the FDA, and Whole Foods.
We only use the safest Ecocert approved preservatives, when necessary and for your safety. None of our products contain ingredients with the letters "eth" (Ethoxylated ingredients). All of our essential oils are either certified organic or have been tested free of contaminants with supporting documentation to this effect, available upon request. As such, we do not (cannot) compete on price but rather on quality. It is our hope that through better consumer education, people will begin to realize that sometimes you should pay more for something that you put on your body or bring into your home because it can directly affect your health and well-being. That being said, our aim - with an eye first on environmental impact - is to continually improve our costs and prices as we grow, in order to make our products accessible to a wider audience.
Since our skin has over 5 million pores and what we put on our skin is absorbed into our bloodstream, we feel it is of paramount importance to consider what is actually in the products we use everyday.
Sustainability:
As an environmentally-focused company, we are extremely concerned with sustainability and are conscious of the need to apply sustainability metrics to all levels of our business; from manufacturing to product life cycle. We are committed to continually improving our environmental performance and managing our environmental impacts. We are committed to continually complying with our local environmental legislation and training our employees on environmental issues. And lastly, we are committed to improving our sustainability and communicating that clearly to our employees, stakeholders and to you, the customer. As of October 2025, we have successfully migrated most of our products into glass with reusable stainless steel pump tops, biodegradable wheat straw, and recyclable refill packaging. Since 2021, we have been partnered with Circulr in the GTA to further help reduce our need for virgin packaging materials.

Manufacturing:
We operate in a lean-manufacturing model whereby we do not produce mass quantities of product at a time. This on-demand, small-batch model allows us to drastically reduce waste, bring you fresher product from fresher ingredients and reduce our carbon footprint. We believe this is the way of the future and contributes to sustainable, responsible and local economic development.
On May 11, 2021, Elva's All Naturals announced a circular economy partnership with Circulr to take back packaging for reuse. All of our packaging is made from recyclable materials or post-consumer recycled content wherever possible (our 1 CLEANER box is made from 100% recycled content and helps to keep 6 plastic bottles out of the environment). We are always actively investigating new ways to package our products, as more data becomes available on the environmental impact of glass vs. plastic vs. metal vs. compostable. We have mostly chosen to use a combination of dark amber glass with reusable stainless pumps, refill bulk 'bag in box' and biodegradable wheat straw bioplastic for our products, due to the requirement to protect the botanical ingredients and essential oils from UV-related decomposition. We are pleased to offer sustainable home refill formats for most of our products as well, which helps to greatly diminish plastic and waste.
Operations:
Behind the scenes, COO and Co-Founder Ian McEwen, P.Eng brings over 30 years manufacturing expertise to our team. Ian is focused on sustainability, environment, reducing waste and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices). Our team of chemists and accredited laboratories have helped us optimize our concepts and bring them to market, with non-traditional and revolutionary formulations that are based on plants and omit toxic chemicals. Our lean manufacturing model allows us to be to able to grow and adapt to market demand and as new information becomes available, with regards to natural ingredients and their proven benefits.
