Celebrating 150 years of caring for your skin
This year we mark an incredible milestone in our skin care and beauty journey – 150 years of Marcelle, 150 years of caring for Canadians and for their skin!
Because we believe in the beauty of caring – for your skin, for your well-being and for the world around us.
Generations of skin expertise
For eight generations, we've passionately nurtured your skin, offering safe, gentle, and effective skin-loving formulas. Because we’re a brand that’s about more than just superficial beauty – we truly care about what beauty means to you, inside and out.
Our internal skin research lab carefully selects exactly what we put in our formulas, and importantly what we do not, drawing on our 150 years of expertise in skin science and skin health. So you can be confident our formulas will give you exactly what your skin needs, and nothing it doesn’t.
Our skin care & beauty journey
It all started in 1874, with Marcelle founder Charles W. Beggs’ visionary belief that beauty and health should go hand in hand, sparking a revolution in skin care and makeup for generations to come.
In 1949, pharmacist Victor Cape brought that vision to Canada, and we’ve been a proudly Canadian family business ever since. From grandmother, to mother, to daughter – eight generations of women have trusted Marcelle to care for their skin.
A timeless beauty philosophy
Clean, simple yet innovative skin care is at the core of Marcelle; it's a testament to our rich history of caring. For us, clean isn’t just a passing trend–it’s a philosophy for formulating cosmetics rooted in science, trust, transparency, and safety.
Beyond our commitment to clean formulas, we are proudly cruelty-free, endorsed by dermatologists and tested safe for sensitive skin. With over 50 products recognized by the Canadian Dermatology Association (CDA), Marcelle stands as Canada's foremost advocate for skin safety.
Made for every skin, loved for generations
From cleansers to mascara, and everything in between, Marcelle has the hypoallergenic, fragrance-free products you can trust for an effortless beauty routine, no matter where that routine begins or ends.
Our timeless classics continue to empower generations of women to embrace Canadian beauty and skin care that’s gentle, effective and – most importantly – helps you look and feel confident in your skin, every day.
