They are committed to responsible and sustainable products, making it an excellent fit for Urban Juve. Nature’s Fare has seven locations across BC.
“We are excited about bringing on Urban Juve products,” says Lisa Ramsay, Vitamin Manager at Nature’s Fare in White Rock, BC. “The natural plant-based hyaluronic acid in their Skin Awakening Serum is something our customers have been seeking out, and not something we have seen before.”
Ecotrend Ecologics (“Ecotrend”) is Urban Juve’s Canadian distributor and has proven itself to be an excellent fit with the brand. Ecotrend is also a certified B Corporation, in addition to being Climate Smart certified.

La Moisson, a high integrity natural health store in Quebec City, now carries the entire line of Urban Juve products. This demonstrates La Moisson’s belief in the product’s quality and shelf appeal.
“Urban Juve packaging is fully compliant in Quebec, which makes us well-positioned to take on the French-Canadian natural health and beauty product market with the help of our Ecotrend reps in this region,” says Amber Allen, Head of Sales for Better Plant.
