The vendor's terms of service and privacy policy name the operating entity as Graydon Limited, governed by Ontario law, and Retail Insider quotes founder Graydon Moffat describing the brand as independent since its March 2016 launch, with no investor or parent named anywhere. Corporations Canada returns no federal corporation for Graydon Limited (the only hit for Graydon is an unrelated cheese shop), so the entity is presumably an Ontario corporation; the Ontario Business Registry could not be queried from this session, so no shareholder or significant-control record was checked.

The vendor states its products are made in Ontario and carries the Ontario Made certification, and the founder told Retail Insider that most formulas are produced with a local, women-run contract lab in Ontario with local fulfillment.

The vendor names several Canadian-grown botanicals (Ontario maple sap water, BC blueberry, broccoli and lavender oils, PEI meadowfoam and kale, prairie oat oil, Quebec cranberry seed oil) and says its boxes are now produced locally, but discloses no origin for the emulsifiers, surfactants, biotech actives, preservatives or bottles that make up most of a formula, and those are typically imported from the US, Europe and Asia. The split is an estimate, not a published figure. The storefront runs on Shopify, a Canadian platform, and direct sales are one of several channels.
