New concept, same Matka magic ✨

Introducing our Monthly Surprise Product — a no-commitment way to experience what we’re creating behind the scenes, without joining Matka Lab.

Here’s how it works:

🌿 Purchase anytime before the 25th of the month

🌿 Your surprise product ships on the 5th of the following month

🌿 No subscription, no pressure — just a little monthly joy delivered to your door

We have some very exciting formulations lined up for 2026… think hydrating summer essentials, festival-season must-haves, lash and brow support, glow-boosting acids (hello glycolic 👀), and other plant-powered experiments I’ve been dying to share.

If you love trying new products before anyone else and enjoy a little mystery in your skincare routine, this one’s for you. 💫

Crazy to think Christmas is only one facial away 😉✨
Whether you’re spending the holidays in cozy PJs with a book and hot chocolate… or on a tropical beach sipping a piña colada with SPF and sand between your toes… you deserve a little glow and pampering before it all kicks off.

My holistic facial isn’t just skincare — it’s nervous system therapy disguised as a treatment. Botanical masks, reflexology-inspired massage, hot towels on your feet, a warm clay pack over the back, custom essential oils, and a cup of tulsi tea to close the ritual.

A 90-minute reset before the holiday chaos — your skin will thank you, and so will your mind. 🌿🤍

Book now and give yourself the gift nobody else can wrap: peaceful, glowing winter skin.

📣Something you don’t hear talked about in the beauty industry:

A lot of the “luxury” products on store shelves are generic white-label formulas, mass-produced, sitting in warehouses for months (sometimes years) before anyone even opens the box. Labels get swapped, branding gets dressed up, and suddenly it’s “clean, active, revolutionary.”

Meanwhile, the formula is the same one being sold under 20 different brand names. Same base, different font.

I don’t think most people realize how common this is, especially in big beauty. And it’s not about demonizing it, it’s just the reality of scaling when the main goal is margin, not ingredient integrity. It’s why preservatives have to be so strong, why textures are so uniform, why scent never changes, and why innovation moves slower than marketing.

Small businesses just operate differently. We’re not pulling products from a warehouse, we’re making them in-house in small batches, using fresh botanicals, cold infusions, and ingredients that still have life in them. When you buy from a small brand, you’re getting:

🌿 formulas made on real timelines, not factory timelines
🌿 ingredients chosen for function, not cost
🌿 fresh extracts with active compounds intact
🌿 aromatics that shift with the season (because plants aren’t uniform)
🌿 AND the weird, beautiful reality that a human pair of hands made it

Fresh skincare feels different because it is different.

When your product was made a week ago — not a year ago — your skin notices.

This presale is actually clearing us out and threatening to crash the website and I’m— 😭✨😭✨😭

You guys… I’m beyond ecstatic. Like full-body-goosebumps, pacing-the-kitchen, tearing-up-between-orders kind of happiness.

Running a small business means you never really know how a launch will go… and then days like this happen and I’m reminded WHY I pour my whole heart into this.

Thank you for showing up so big. Thank you for loving what I make. Thank you for making this tiny Nanaimo skincare studio feel like the center of the universe today.

If you need me, I’ll be over here crying happy tears and refreshing the website to make sure it survives. 🥹💛

POV: small business owner trying to compete with the “72% OFF + free yacht + emotional support robot” Black Friday deals from the big brands 😭🖤

Meanwhile, I’m over here like:
“I can give you… 15% off and a handwritten note?”
Corporate giants: “Buy one lotion and we’ll personally ship you to the moon.”
Me: packs orders with love and mild heartburn.

The truth? Small businesses don’t have billionaire budgets, warehouses the size of Costco, or questionable labour practices. We have:
✨ real humans
✨ handcrafted products
✨ ethical sourcing
✨ small batches
✨ and rent due on the 1st 😂

Thanks for choosing to support us during the wildest shopping weekend of the year — even when we can’t throw in a free car.

Beauty From Inside

MATKA [mat - ka ( journey)]

Looking at someone’s skin can tell a lot about the person’s body and health, and often when there is an imbalance on the inside it will show on the outside in various ways. Common conditions such as acne (both teen and adult), eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, blackheads, milia, rashes, rosacea, hormonal breakouts, yeast and fungus infections, oily skin, and dry skin to name a few, are clear signs of systemic imbalances in the body. There is no single one-fits-all solution, but rather several aspects that should be addressed when dealing with any form of skin condition: Diet, skincare products, the digestive system, the endocrine (hormonal) system, emotions, stress levels, and environment. MATKA envites you on a journey to vibrance and wellbeing with natural and holsitic approaches including botanical, cruelty-free skincare products, aromatherapy, body system balancing, clay therapy, easy and healthy diet changes, and full relaxation treatments.
