Our Purpose

Hi, I’m Melanie — founder of da lish cosmetics, where clean, Canadian-made beauty meets fun, confidence, and real results. I started da lish from my kitchen table, and now our cruelty-free, vegan, and gluten-free products are loved across Canada.


Giving Back, Big Time

  • Cancer Support:

    • LGFB Bubbles & Brunch: Helping women navigate hair loss, makeup, and connection during cancer treatment.

    • Honoring Loved Ones: Lipsticks created in memory of my mom (Rosemary) and BFF Nadine Parsons support RETHINK Breast Cancer and cancer research programs.

  • Adopt a Child for Christmas: I sponsor teens yearly so they know they’re remembered and loved.


Eco & Sustainability

  • Post-recycled, recyclable packaging — glass pots for lips, cheeks, and foundation, recyclable tubes for mascara, lip gloss, concealer, Hydra 7, eyeshadow, and highlighter.

  • 88% locally sourced ingredients; rest are fair trade, organic, and sustainable.

  • 100% vegan and PETA approved.

  • Not zero waste yet, but working on it for 2026! Every purchase helps drive demand for truly sustainable beauty.


Helping You Launch Your Beauty Brand

I also created the Beauty Brand Launch Course — a step-by-step roadmap to launch your own clean beauty brand with clarity, confidence, and cash flow. This is everything I wish I had when I started da lish, packed into actionable steps to help your dream brand come alive. Learn more →


Why It Matters

When you purchase from da lish, you’re supporting a purpose-driven, independently owned Canadian brand that cares about people, the planet, and your future. Helping people feel and look their best while giving back is what drives us every day.
