My name is Amanda Schuler, and I’m the founder of Ember Wellness — a skin and body care brand for skinimalists. Our approach is simple: less is more. We believe you don’t need a long list of ingredients for products to be effective, just thoughtfully chosen ones that truly work.

I grew up in Oakville and moved to Toronto after university, but much of my inspiration traces back to my mother, who’s from Latvia. She taught us the beauty of simplicity, using rosehip oil and shea butter for everything, a lesson that continues to shape how I think about skincare and design.

Today, that philosophy comes to life in our new space, which unites our warehouse and retail store under one roof. It’s become a place to collaborate with brands we admire, like LOHN, and connect with our community in a more personal, meaningful way.

The scent of Dried Pine Needles always reminds me of—

The cottage.

I light candles to—
