Toronto-based Denise Williams founded Matter Company, a luxe range of all-natural skincare products, in 1996.

"At Matter Company, we embrace a holistic approach to personal care which recognizes the relationship between our natural environment and our physical and emotional well being.

We began with the simple intention of working with the healing ways of plants. Building upon an apprenticeship in Therapeutic Herbalism, our extensive experience growing, wild crafting, harvesting and formulating herbal preparations has resulted in an intimate understanding of the medicinal power of herbs. It is an understanding which recognizes the ability of herbs to not only heal us physically, but to nourish our mind and spirit as well."
