The first skincare brand we decided to sell on The GLW Shop is January Labs. Katherine heard about this line and ordered a few items many months back and instantly knew this was an excellent skincare brand and very effective. January Labs line is highly efficacious, sustainable products that people can rely on. The entire line is crafted without sulfates, parabens, fragrances, or other harmful additives. It’s simple, straightforward, and light, yet extremely hardworking. And—with an emphasis on eco-friendly, recyclable packaging—it’s something you can feel good about using.
We reached out to January, the founder of January Labs with the intent to sell her products and be the first retailer in Canada. We had a great video meeting and really connected on so many topics other than just her products and skincare. Our core values really align, and we are so excited to bring this line to you guys.
What makes this line so special is the combination of ingredients in each product. They mesh so well together. The other great aspect is how simple and straightforward the line is and how well it works for every skin type and skin concern.
Here are the products we will be carrying!
PURE & GENTLE CLEANSING GEL
A gentle, non-drying face wash that dissolves dirt and makeup for exceptionally smooth, clean skin. This is a unique product because it comes out like a gel but then turns creamy.

HOW KG USES THIS: In the morning this is such a nice gentle cleanser to start the day with. At night after balm or oil cleansing to prep the skin for serums!

This is one of our favorites from the line. This mist truly gives the skin that all day glow. It helps to refresh and condition the skin, maintain hydration and prevent moisture loss and minimize breakouts. Perfect to set makeup and reactivate power ingredients in moisturizers and serums. Used frequently throughout the day, it helps to absorb oil and cancel out shine while giving a healthy glow.

This product is excellent for “maskne” it contains witch hazel, which kills bacteria and glycerin, which locks in hydration, not allowing the skin to get dry and lead to breakouts.
