The seed that sprouted the idea for Wise men’s grooming line came from none other than the barber’s chair. The Montreal-based, all-natural and eco-friendly hair product line caters to a new generation of conscious consumers, much like that of the founders, who sought to create products that fit their own lifestyles.
Too many products on the cluttered grooming market are made with unhealthy and polluting ingredients. Many of them are still effective, sure, but it’s easy to turn a blind eye to the fact that we don’t necessarily know what goes into these formulas.
Wise men’s grooming chose a different route, looking at grooming products much like the local co-op does with the food on offer — natural, healthy, and thoughtful.
Wise’s high-quality products are not only designed for style and health, they’re also made with a low environmental impact, from their reusable packaging to their therapeutic, locally-sourced ingredients.
Each product in the Wise men’s grooming line features a star Canadian ingredient, whether it’s sea kelp or organic glacial marine clay. Each ingredient offers its own health benefits that effectively bridges the balance between our fast urban lifestyles and our deep connection with nature. All of their products are available in reusable and refillable dual packaging system, which has helped lower Wise’s environmental impact tremendously — and is the first of its kind in the men’s grooming world. The line is offered in sleek reusable glass containers, or you can opt for the recyclable refill pouches, which use about 80 percent less plastic than the typical shampoo containers you find on the shelves today.
Rumor has it that Wise men’s grooming plans on having an entire skin and body care line by Christmas or early 2019. Until then, see what their hair line has to offer below.
