Three Ships Beauty is a Toronto skincare brand founded in 2020 by Connie Lo and Laura Burget, trading as the legal entity Niu Body, and still founder-led. It says its products are made in Canada apart from eye masks made in South Korea, ships Canadian orders from Brampton, and publishes ingredient origins that are mostly outside Canada. Whole Foods is the only grocer it names; Well.ca carries the full line online.

Factors

Ownership

100.0 reported

CA 100%

The Terms of Use name the operating entity as Niu Body o/a Three Ships with a Toronto head office, and the About page, CBC Dragons' Den and BetaKit all present co-founders Connie Lo and Laura Burget as the owners running the company. Corporations Canada returns zero results for Three Ships, Three Ships Beauty and Niu Body, so the entity is presumably an Ontario corporation; the Ontario Business Registry, Wikidata (no entity) and any shareholder register could not be checked, so a minority investor stake, including any Dragons' Den deal, cannot be ruled out. CA 1.0 rests on the vendor's founder-led account rather than a filing.

Manufacturing

96.0 reported

CA 95% · other 5%

The FAQ states products are made in Canada except the eye masks, which are manufactured in South Korea; the vendor does not name its contract manufacturer or its location. The 0.05 for South Korea is an estimate from the eye masks being one line among cleansers, serums, creams and masks, not a published revenue share.

Head office at 180 John St in Toronto with a hybrid team, and a Canadian warehouse in Brampton. US orders ship from a partner warehouse in Chicago, which is a third-party operation, so the small US share is an estimate for US-market support rather than a headcount.

The ingredient glossary names an origin for most ingredients: aloe from Guatemala, shea from Ghana, camellia oils from China and South Korea, rapeseed and several emulsifiers from France, Germany and the Netherlands, and a few extracts from the USA, with none from Canada. The split is an unweighted estimate across those entries plus Canadian contract filling and cardboard packaging; the vendor publishes no cost share, and packaging origin is not stated.
