Our Story

About Bonjou Beauty

Bonjou is Creole French for Hello, so Hello Beauty!

Canada is known for many things, but we’re maybe best known for hockey, maple syrup, snow…Drake, Justin Bieber, Celine Dion and Robin Sparkles. And, if you know who Robin Sparkles is - bonus points! One day, hopefully, Canada will also be known for Bonjou Beauty.

Bonjou Beauty combines convenience and simplicity with natural ingredients that enhance your skin's appearance and health. Founded by Samantha Wharton, Bonjou offers clean, cruelty-free makeup and skincare certified organic by the USDA. Samantha works closely with chemists in the Greater Toronto Area. Product production is certified by Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

Some other deets about us

  • Our photographer is Toronto-based Tarsipix Studios. Check out his portfolio.
  • Our makeup artist is Toronto-Based Jade Alliyah. Check out her portfolio.

Most of the models in the campaigns we use are friends and family. We feel it makes a difference to see real people who also use the products daily.

Other than some minor touch-ups the photographer does to the initial photos, we do not use Photoshop or filters, so these photos represent what everyone looks like wearing the makeup.
