Green Beaver is The Green Beaver Company Limited, a federally incorporated, founder-owned maker of natural personal care in Hawkesbury, Ontario, started in 2002 by biochemist Karen Clark and microbiologist Alain Ménard. It makes its sunscreen, deodorant, hair, body and oral care in its own Hawkesbury facility, which is also its registered office. Ingredient origins are not published beyond a stated priority for locally grown organic inputs, so the inputs split is an estimate.
Factors
Ownership
100.0 verifiedCA 100%
Corporations Canada lists The Green Beaver Company Limited (659037-3, CBCA, incorporated 2006-06-29, active) with an individuals with significant control register confirmed 2025-07-02 naming only the two founders, Alain Ménard and Karen Clark of Hawkesbury, each holding 25 to 50 percent of shares indirectly, and both as directors. No other controlling person is registered, so the whole is Canadian founder ownership. The register notes two consecutive annual filings overdue and a notice of intent to dissolve, which does not change ownership. The Ontario Business Registry was not checked because the corporation is federal.

Inputs

The formulas rely on coconut, olive and avocado oils, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, squalane and xylitol, which are largely imported, while the vendor says it gives priority to locally grown organic ingredients and features Canadian Labrador tea and sunflower seed oil. No sourcing countries are published, so the split is an estimate weighted toward imported feedstock with a Canadian share for local botanicals, sunflower oil and packaging. The storefront runs on Shopify, a Canadian platform, and Well.ca is a second channel, so there is no single foreign platform dependence.
