Men’s Beauty Brands in Canada
What’s in a name? Men’s ‘beauty’ brands. Hmm.
The word ‘beauty’ has a typically more feminine connotation to it and doesn’t seem to quite fit when describing men’s shaving products, hair products, and more… and yes – ungendered branding is a whole other topic that we’ll delve into another time; for now we’re focussing exclusively on companies and stores that are branding with a historically traditional male presence in mind.
If we say ‘women’s beauty products’, we’re talking about skincare, haircare, bodycare, makeup, etc. But there doesn’t seem to be an all-encompassing term to describe men’s products and because of that we tend to see them described as individual blocks – ie. men’s skincare, men’s bodycare, men’s shaving, men’s haircare….missing an umbrella term to wrap them all together.
Do we use the term ‘Men’s Beauty Products’? Do we rewrite to avoid it? Do we make up a new and better one? Men’s Grooming?
Ideas? Please do tell….comments below. 🙂
Regardless of what’s in a name, men’s beauty products are still not given as much attention as they deserve – but this is definitely starting to change. The men’s grooming trend has significantly evolved in recent years, and men are becoming more conscious of their appearance and investing more time in their grooming routines.
If you’re looking to shift toward a more polished and refined look, you may want to check out one of these great options for men’s shaving, skincare, bodycare, and more in Canada:
