Coquitlam, BC CA · ag.care

88.8

AG Care, legally AG Hair Ltd., is a founder-started professional hair care maker from 1989 that formulates, makes and bottles everything in its own 70,000 sq ft plant at 14 King Edward Street in Coquitlam, BC. The BC registry shows an active BC benefit company and nothing points to an outside owner, but BC does not publish shareholders. Ingredient origin is not disclosed and is assumed mostly imported; no grocer stocks it, as Well.ca and Costco.ca return nothing, the Shoppers brand page does not exist and Walmart.ca only has third-party marketplace sellers, so it sells through salons, Chatters, Sephora.ca and Amazon.ca.

Factors

100.0 inferred

CA 100%

OrgBook BC lists AG Hair Ltd., BC1033801, an active BC benefit company registered in 2015, but BC does not publish shareholders. Corporations Canada returned zero results, so it is provincial only, and no acquisition, parent or investor turned up; Wikipedia calls it private and The CANADA List and madeinca.ca call it Canadian owned. Treated as a privately held company still associated with founders John and Lotte Davis; the shareholder register, SEDAR+ and EDGAR could not be checked.

The vendor states it manufactures on site in Canada in a 70,000 sq ft facility and that every stage of development happens at its Vancouver area plant, and the 2022 press release repeats that everything is made on site in a Health Canada and FDA approved facility. No contract manufacturer or second plant was found.

The terms and privacy pages give one address at 14 King Edward Street, Coquitlam, BC, which is also the plant, and the careers page describes a hybrid office there. The 2022 US relaunch with Ulta may involve a few US sales staff, but none were found, so this is treated as a single-site business.

The vendor discloses no ingredient or packaging origin beyond working with suppliers on pouches and using PCR plastic and aluminum, and The CANADA List notes ingredient sourcing appears global. Salon-grade surfactants, argan and coconut oils and packaging are assumed mostly imported, so the split is an estimate. The store runs on Shopify and the vendor sells through salons and several retailers, so there is no single platform dependence.

  • AG Care | Sustainability vendor_statement “We continue to work with suppliers to produce a fully recycleable pouch.”
  • The CANADA List directory “Privately-held Vancouver BC company with high-quality hair care products. Undertakes all aspects of their business in-house in their Vancouver manufacturing facility. Ingredient sourcing appears global”
