Welcome to Lavish Earth: Skincare with Soul (and a Sense of Humour)

Hi there, Soapy Friend!


Whether you just stumbled upon Lavish Earth Canada or you’ve been cheering me on since the early days—welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

This little corner of the internet is about to become a whole lot cozier, glowier, and maybe even a little weirder (in the best way).

I’m reviving this blog because I’ve got stories to share, skincare wisdom to spill, and some seriously lovely products to introduce you to. But first—let me reintroduce myself.

Who’s Behind Lavish Earth?

I’m Andrea Rideout, the founder, formulator, and slightly obsessive ingredient nerd behind Lavish Earth Canada. I have a B.Sc. in Biological Science from the University of Guelph, plus certifications in acupuncture and a huge interest in aromatherapy—so, this isn’t just kitchen magic. It’s science-backed, soul-led skincare.

This brand was built out of pure necessity. I’ve got what I lovingly call a spicy brain—and some textures or synthetic scents in conventional skincare? Instant ick. Plus I wanted to be in charge of what my family was using on their skin and making sure it was full of real, premium ingredients. So I started making products that felt good, smelled real, and didn’t leave my skin in full revolt.

What began as a solo mission turned into a two-person dream team—my husband recently joined me full-time, which means there’s now twice as much love (and slightly more chaos) going into every product.

What Makes Lavish Earth Special?

Let’s be real—there are a lot of natural skincare brands out there. So what makes this one different?

💚 Everything’s made in small, consistent batches
💚We are a mom and pop shop so we hand-pack every order (usually with a goofy grin and lots of jokes)
💚 Ingredients are chosen with care, not hype
💚 The goal is always to nourish—not just sell

Plus, I believe skincare should feel like you-time, not a chore. That’s why everything I formulate is designed to feel luxurious, absorb quickly and easy-to-use.

What You’ll Find on This Blog

This blog isn’t going to be all “10 Step Routines You Must Follow”—because who has time for that?

Instead, you’ll find:

  • Easy skincare tips for real life

  • Ingredient spotlights (because nerding out over plant magic is fun)

  • DIY recipes you can actually make at home

  • Honest talk about running a small biz

  • Seasonal skincare guides (and possibly the odd meme)

If you like your skincare with a little sass and a lot of soul, you’re in the right place.
