About Subtle

Subtle Botanicals is a clean skincare and aromatherapy company based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. We believe that taking care of your skin can be a luxurious ritual that promotes a sense of wellbeing.

Our line is inspired by the pristine botanical life that exists in Nova Scotia, and elsewhere on our beautiful planet. Subtle sources precious botanical ingredients that harness the power of nature to create gentle yet effective products. Exquisite textures and aromas invite you to slow down and experience benefits beyond your skin.

Subtle believes that preserving and healing our planet is possible. We strive to appreciate, luxuriate in, and conserve the magnificent sights, textures, fragrances, and sounds of nature everyday.

We hope that our products help to connect you to the natural luxury available on our planet as well.

Meet Erin & Chelsea

Erin is a professional aromatherapist who started her journey with aromatherapy in 1997. She studied with Susan Alward at the Maritime School of Health and Wellbeing as well as at the Summit Spa and recently completed training in natural cosmetics and skincare formulation. Her 25-year love affair with essential oils is the inspiration for the Subtle skincare line, and a lifelong dream that's come to fruition.

Chelsea’s love of all things natural started at a very young age when she turned to nature to seek healing. Her background includes working in the performing arts, advertising, and marketing. She takes the photos, handles the styling, social platforms, and website for Subtle. Our gentle skincare has provided the perfect solution for her sensitive skin. Co-founding Subtle just a few years after moving to Canada from the US, her childhood dream of having her own business has become a reality!
