What are we about?
Where product innovation, wellness, and beauty converge — to create space for reinvention.

A Lab + Lounge Experience
Specialty waters and personal care items are some of the things created and experienced under this roof - alongside a full spectrum of cosmetics and services that support them. Our nonprofit hub integrates advanced manufacturing, R&D, services, consulting and experiential learning. The space fosters creation, exploration, reinvention, as we provide immersive, hands-on opportunities for people, brands and communities seeking growth.
- A working lab that bridges Cosmetic Science with real-world application
- Retail and experimental spaces designed to connect products with people
- Services that support professionals, indie founders and community groups
- A creative launchpad for people rebuilding confidence and career
- Built on decades of global manufacturing and formulation expertise
- Every purchase helps sustain our nonprofit mission and change lives
Our Core
Built on experience. Focused on what’s next.

There is currently no experience like this in Canada — particularly on the East Coast. While charitable outreach programs exist, none formally combine clean beauty, specialty water, education, and economic reinvention in one immersive space. Our evolving model blends product innovation with social impact, offering a purpose-led environment where every drop and every detail matters.
Our work spans specialty cosmetics and premium water in a purpose-led, lab + lounge format. The hélico brand is protected in both Canada and the United States. Our proprietary library includes more than 2,000 specialty cosmetic formulations across fragrance, personal care, and color. With over two decades of international manufacturing expertise, we have operated under federal permits with scalable production capacity. We are now preparing a Canadian launch featuring sustainable packaging in glass and aluminum-lined formats.
- Preparing Canadian retail and production launch.
- Expanding premium distilled water and specialty cosmetic offerings.
- Aligning nonprofit initiatives to support workforce reintegration.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Are you a school or a spa?
We are neither. While some offerings may resemble spa or educational environments, we are a private facility where independent beauty and wellness professionals may offer services or workshops. These are not limited to skin treatments, and all activity remains independent from formal spa or school licensing.
-
Do you collaborate with existing businesses or other non-profits?
We are open to collaboration. Please reach out to schedule a time to discuss.
-
Investor: Where can I view your business plan and more technical aspects to this?
Please leave a voice message or email with your contact information. We require a non-disclosure agreement prior to sharing business plans or proprietary information.
-
Retailer: For your in-house brands, can one view your look book online?
Please reach out to a team member so that you can receive this privately. Due to the competitive nature of our industry, we do not list this nor our sell sheets online.
