Award-Winning Skincare, Made in the Ottawa Valley

Stark was named Best Natural/Organic Brand at the 2026 Beauty Shortlist Awards, along with eleven individual product wins — recognition for small-batch, antioxidant botanical skincare made by hand in Canada's Ottawa Valley. This collection brings those winners together in one place: the formulas that earned their place through what’s in the bottle, not what’s on the label.

Every product here is made in small batches with the same antioxidant-rich botanicals Stark has been formulating since 2011. If you’re looking for the best Canadian skincare brand to trust with your routine, these are the ones the judges singled out — a good place to start.
