Canadian health and beauty retailer to open stores in U.S.

A retailer that specializes in natural, plant-based wellness and beauty products is hoping to make a big splash in the United States.



Saje Natural Wellness will open its first U.S. store at the end of November, in Malibu, California, with plans to open 25 additional locations in 2017. The company’s stores are designed to offer a sensorial and educational experience, allowing engagment with the products on display.



The Vancouver-based retailer is also launching a new web site that will allow it to sell direct to U.S.-based customers.



Saje features over 500 products that address a wide variety of everyday health concerns, along with skin and body care items, plant-derived natural perfumes, pure and blended essential oils and more.



"For the past 25 years, our mission has been to connect as many people as possible with the highest quality natural wellness products, offering new ways to combat everyday ailments and discover optimal health," said Kate Ross LeBlanc co-founder and CEO, Saje Natural Wellness, which operates 45 stores in Canada. “With over 15% of our online customer base organically coming from the U.S., we knew the time was right to expand our retail presence, giving our U.S. community the best way to experience Saje products.”



Saje products are made from 100% pure, plant derived essential oils and base ingredients that are sourced and distilled from all over the world. All products are proudly free of parabens, petrochemicals, synthetic colors, fragrances or additives, the company said.
