Living Cosmetics

Location: Kelowna

Living Cosmetics is leading the tallow skincare movement in Canada—a return to ancestral ingredients that truly nourish the skin. Founded in Kelowna by Elysia Samarodin, a professionally trained Holistic Esthetician, Makeup Artist, and Organic Skincare Formulator (Blanche Macdonald Centre graduate), the brand bridges ancient wisdom with modern cosmetic innovation.

At the heart of Living Cosmetics is the Organic Tallow Collection, a line of nutrient-rich skincare and makeup made from grass-fed, finished beef tallow—naturally abundant in vitamins A, D, E, and K, and essential fatty acids that support collagen, elasticity, and skin repair. This revival of tallow in beauty has positioned Living Cosmetics at the forefront of a growing clean beauty movement.

Living Cosmetics stands apart by merging science, ancestral wisdom, and holistic beauty education into every product we create. Each product carries an affirmation, linking neuroscience to self-care—supporting self-love, self-worth, and the body’s natural ability to heal through positive intention. This mindful approach transforms skincare into a restorative ritual that nourishes both skin and spirit.

Our collection includes face creams, balms, body polishes, and an innovative line of tallow-based makeup, such as tinted bronzing butters that nourish while enhancing the complexion.

Living Cosmetics has been selected by major Western Canadian retailers—including Nature’s Fare Markets, Choices Markets, Save-On-Foods (BC Local Section), and Canadian Health Food Stores—for its performance, purity, and purpose.

We’re redefining beauty through simplicity, sustainability, and the wisdom of living ingredients.
