Les Mauvaises Herbes, what's that?
Since 2018, we have been formulating botanical skincare and offering natural ingredients. Designed so that you understand what you are applying to your skin. Because we believe that understanding is a form of self-care. It's regaining control. It's making conscious choices. And that's what we offer you here: skincare, and the means to understand it.
-
The power of plants
Our mission: to make you realize that plants aren't just cute! They're also powerful.
-
It works, for real
Plants, yes, but with rigor and science to ensure the products are effective.
-
To understand is to take care of oneself.
We prefer to explain rather than convince you.
The Founders
Audrey, Marie, and Mariane. Two anthropologists, one biologist: three slightly-too-curious brains with a slight (okay, big) penchant for resourcefulness, they started doing everything themselves: soaps, balms, shampoos, recipes, website, business, marketing... Today, the "little project" has grown quite a bit, and it is with great pride that they watch Les Mauvaises Herbes grow (like a weed).
Our shop
Our shop on St-Hubert Street is our universe, in 3D. It smells wonderful as soon as you walk through the door. There’s often an herbal tea brewing somewhere. You can sniff all the essential oils without judgment (we even encourage it), and most importantly, you can get advice from our exceptional consultants. It’s also the place to have your personalized serum made, a shop exclusive!
Our team
Behind every package, every product, every questionable Instagram meme, every reply to messages at 9 p.m. on a Tuesday night… there’s a real gang of real people. A creative, funny, sometimes tired gang, but always there to help you reclaim your skincare routine.
Our books
Les Mauvaises Herbes is also two books. À fleur de pots (homemade cosmetics) and Remue-ménage (homemade cleaning products), published by Éditions de l’Homme in 2021. Two books that became best-sellers and, for many, the true DIY “bibles”.
We’d love to write more books one day!
Don't take our word for it, take theirs:
I visited the store for the first time yesterday. I had prepared a list of my must-haves. I got almost everything! The bidet being very popular, I'll have the pleasure of going back... yay!
OMG! It's beautiful! It's zen! It smells like paradise! The service is more than perfect. BRAVO!
What a pleasant and inviting shop, just like the attitude of the lovely person who welcomed me there. It was for a gift: a lip balm that smells of conifer (immediate crush) + digestive mint and lemon balm herbal tea. Delighted with this shop, I will return 🏵️
I found everything I was looking for.
Organic products, fantastic service, nothing to say, good location, warm staff, nothing was missing. Their recipe book is simply fabulous and easy to read and understand, with simple, clear, and precise steps, leading to very satisfying results. The shop is magnificent, with a very pleasant design, and most importantly, the products are truly of very good quality and good for the planet. Almost all the ingredients found in the book are available in their shop and in the store. The prices of most products are really very good.
Les Mauvaises Herbes is about taking care of yourself without anyone telling you what to think. Because we know: you're perfectly capable on your own.
