Today we introduce you to someone who has played a paramount role in the Oneka ecosystem since the beginning: Louise Godin.

Louise is an authority figure in Quebec when it comes to wild and indigenous plants, and specifically edible wild plants.

With Black Friday just around the corner and the holiday season approaching, promotions and deals are everywhere and often try to lure us with their "unbeatable never seen before price" or "an offer you can't miss out on" slogans.

Made entirely from natural active ingredients grown on our land, our Botanical Hair Treatment is the result of a rich family heritage, rooted in apple farming.

Taking care of your hair doesn't have to involve numerous products and many complicated steps. Simple practices and a few well-picked products are enough to bring shine, strength and health to the hair, no matter its type.

 

Today, 400,000 million tons of plastic waste are produced each year (1). Of this colossal quantity, only 9% is recycled, and 12% incinerated. The remaining 79% ends up in landfills or in the environment (2), where it never truly disappears, but rather breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces called microplastics.

Through the experience they give us, the emotions they make us feel and the atmosphere they create, aromas allow us to connect with ourselves and with others. Conducive to well-being, they have this ability to take us on a journey, to bring back sweet memories, and even, to make us experience a real sensory escape.

Benevolence is rooted in Oneka's identity. It guides the choice of our ingredients, the way we cultivate our family land, our actions to reduce the ecological footprint of our company. It infuses our daily way of life.

Oneka's farm is operated after the principles of permaculture, with the intention of caring for and preserving the ecosystems it is part of. 

Dedicated to this mission, is an ecosystem of people. Humans who, through their hard work, time, energy, talent and knowledge, contribute to growing our plants, and our name, while limiting our footprint on our habitat and regenerate it.  

Being a woman.What does it mean? Is there truly a unique definition we can apply to all women? I strongly believe there is not. Women are plural. And so should be the definition of womanhood.

Consciously crafted with our organic plants, some of which grow on our family farm following permaculture principles, our four shampoos are formulated with ingredients known to be easily biodegradable.
