Laboratoires Druide is a Saint-Laurent (Montreal) maker of Ecocert-certified organic hair, body and skin care founded in Quebec in 1979 and acquired in 2017 by Derme&Co., the Montreal spa-products group run by Manon Pilon and Amir Hussein. The federal register names those two Laval residents as the only individuals with significant control, and the vendor states its products are manufactured in Quebec. Organic botanicals and surfactants are assumed largely imported since the vendor names no ingredient origins beyond a general local-supplier claim.

Corporations Canada lists Laboratoires Druide Inc. (1025616-1) as an active federal non-distributing corporation formed by amalgamation on 2017-06-01, with an individuals-with-significant-control register naming Amir Hussein and Manon Pilon of Laval, Quebec, each holding 25 to 50 percent of the shares directly and jointly controlling the company. That matches the vendor's own statement that the Derme&Co. Group acquired Druide in 2017 under Pilon and Hussein, and The CANADA List's owner entry of Derme&Co., Canada. Derme&Co. itself did not appear in the federal search, so it is presumably a Quebec provincial entity and the Registraire des entreprises was not reachable, but the ISC register on the operating company already settles control in two Canadian individuals.

The vendor's home page states it is committed to manufacturing its products in Canada, specifically in Quebec, and its Who We Are page cites Health Canada approval and GMP certification for its operation. The parent Derme&Co. describes itself as a manufacturer and distributor at the same 4930 ch. du Bois Franc, Saint-Laurent address the Druide site gives, and The CANADA List records all products as made in Montreal. No page names the plant explicitly or gives a share for any contract manufacturing, so this is the vendor's claim, corroborated by a directory.

The contact and terms pages place the company at 4930 ch. du Bois Franc, Saint-Laurent, Quebec, the same address as parent Derme&Co., and the terms are governed by Quebec law. The registered office and both directors are in Pointe-Claire and Laval, Quebec. No employee count or second site was found, so all staff are treated as Canadian.

The vendor says it highlights ingredients sourced from local suppliers and uses organic and ethically sourced botanicals, but names no origins for the plant oils, essential oils, and surfactants that make up organic shampoo, soap and lotion, and much of that is grown or refined outside Canada. The CANADA List likewise calls the ingredients likely of mixed sourcing. The split is an estimate weighted to imported botanicals with a Canadian share for local plant extracts, water and packaging.
