At Ashbury BLOOM, we proudly celebrate our Canadian roots and are passionate about supporting local communities, suppliers, and Canadian labor. Whether you’re buying for yourself or a loved one, choosing Canadian-made products is more important than ever. With the growing “Buy Canadian” movement, understanding the difference between “Made in Canada” and “Product of Canada” can help you make informed choices when shopping for bath and body care products, food, and more.
What’s the Difference Between “Made in Canada” and “Product of Canada”?
The key distinction between these two terms lies in the amount of Canadian content in the product. For non-food items, a product labeled “Product of Canada” must contain at least 98% Canadian content. In contrast, a “Made in Canada” label applies to products with 51% Canadian content, as long as the final transformation or assembly occurs in Canada.
For food products, the criteria are a bit more specific. A “Product of Canada” food item is one that uses all or nearly all Canadian ingredients, with minimal non-Canadian material. Meanwhile, “Made in Canada” means the last substantial transformation happened in Canada, even if some ingredients came from abroad.
At Ashbury BLOOM, we are proud to say that our products are Made in Canada with local ingredients sourced from Ontario farmers and suppliers. We believe in enriching your life with natural, effective ingredients while supporting local businesses, farmers, Canadian labor, and small businesses across the country. Although some ingredients, such as olive oil and coconut oil, are not produced in Canada, we ensure they are sourced from trusted Canadian suppliers.

By choosing products that are Made in Canada, like those offered by Ashbury BLOOM, you contribute directly to the strength of the Canadian economy.
