As the founder of Lavoh, I’m thrilled to share that our reusable facecloths were featured in Chatelaine’s “5 Best Purchases Our Editors Made in November.” In the article, Deputy Editor Gillian Grace shared her experience with our product, calling it “magic.” She highlighted its ability to remove even waterproof makeup—mascara, lipstick, you name it—using nothing but water. She also appreciated its durability and eco-friendliness, noting that it outperformed traditional makeup removers. Gillian’s words summed up exactly why Lavoh exists: to make your skincare routine easier, gentler, and better for the planet.
What stood out to me most was her acknowledgment of our efforts to strike a balance between sustainability and practicality. Yes, the cloth is made of polyester, a plastic-derived material, but it’s designed to last for years. That longevity is crucial in reducing single-use waste and making sustainable living more accessible. As Gillian pointed out, Lavoh’s facecloth is “by far the lesser of two evils.”
The Beauty of Buying Canadian
Gillian also praised Lavoh for being a Canadian company, and I couldn’t agree more with her sentiment about supporting local businesses. Lavoh is proudly based in Vancouver, and our Canadian roots are central to our brand identity. Being featured in a publication as iconic as Chatelaine—one that has supported Canadian women and entrepreneurs for decades—is a dream come true.
As a small business, every step of the journey comes with challenges, but it’s moments like these that remind me why I started Lavoh in the first place. This recognition isn’t just about celebrating our product; it’s about highlighting the values we stand for—sustainability, innovation, and supporting local communities.
