All Natural at Purdy Natural “We’ve been whipping up handmade, all-natural products for over ten years, and we’re still loving every messy, magical minute of it! The core values in our shop are health and wellness,” enthuses Rokhsana (Roks) Purdy, founder of the expansive, yet quaint shop located at the corner of Wharncliffe Road and Mount Pleasant. The shop held a 10th anniversary open house in March – enthusiastically attended – where guests enjoyed samples, goodie bags, refreshments and special pricing. “What really sparked my interest in natural skincare was learning how many conventional products are filled with synthetic ingredients that can be harsh or even harmful in the long term,” explains Roks. “I started researching more about clean beauty and was amazed by how powerful and effective natural ingredients can be. The idea of nourishing my skin with ingredients that are gentle, sustainable, and toxin-free really resonated with me. It just made sense—I’m careful about what I eat, why wouldn’t I be just as careful about what I use on my skin? Once I made the connection, I had to do something about it...so I started Purdy Natural! We offer options in not only natural skincare, but Canadian and local at the same time.” Some of the shop’s most popular items—from a wide selection that includes candles, jewelry, mugs, teas, and more—are their Purdy Natural soaps, the entire Lunah Life skincare line, and their haircare and soap refills. Roks especially loves the Lunah Life Citrine Body Oil. “I use our soaps every day, and I love the Mint Cleaning products,” she says. But what she finds most rewarding about Purdy Natural, she adds, “are the forever friendships this shop has created over the years. The community we have built is a beautiful thing.” Visit PurdyNatural.ca and find them on Facebook to learn more.
