The Detour Co. began in a season of life that did not feel like my own. I was overwhelmed, stretched thin, and disconnected from myself. Like many women, I had spent so much time caring for others that I had forgotten what it felt like to care for me. I needed something that was mine. Something grounding. Something that worked.
What started as a small act of self-care became a turning point. I began creating intentional skincare rituals that allowed me to slow down and come back to myself. It was never just about the products. It was about carving out space to feel present in my own body again. It was about rebuilding a relationship with myself through consistency, care, and intention.
That experience became the foundation of The Detour Co. Not a straight path, but a return. Because finding yourself again is rarely linear.
It often asks you to take a detour.
To pause. To listen. To choose yourself in small, meaningful ways.
The Detour Co. exists to support your journey. To offer women more than skincare. To offer a moment of reconnection. A ritual that is theirs. A reminder that coming back to yourself is not indulgent. It is essential.
At The Detour Co., our philosophy is rooted in intention, quality, and care. Each product is handmade in Canada at our workspace in Muskoka, where every detail is thoughtfully considered. We use natural ingredients and source locally whenever possible, creating each formulation in small batches to ensure quality, freshness, and integrity.
We believe in a slower, more mindful approach to face and body care. This is not about mass production. It is about creating with purpose. Every product is made with love and good intentions, honouring the connection between what you put on your skin and how you feel within yourself.
"The whipped body butter is so good! Just recently purchased my first deodorant and I’m already looking to grab the other 2 scents. They aren’t sticky like other brands I’ve tried. Best part it’s locally made!"
