Your Glow Now Has a Lighter Footprint: GLOW Beauty Bar Partners with Green Circle Salons


At GLOW Beauty Bar, integrity has always been at the heart of everything we do — from the treatments we offer and the products we select, to the impact we have beyond the walls of our Etobicoke spa. Caring for your skin and caring for the world around you have always been part of the same intention.

That's why we're proud to share a meaningful milestone: GLOW Beauty Bar is now officially partnered with Green Circle Salons, North America's leading sustainability program for the professional beauty industry.

Green Circle Salons Logo

What Is Green Circle Salons?


Founded in 2008 and recognized as a Certified B Corporation, Green Circle Salons is a North American organization dedicated to diverting beauty industry waste away from landfills and waterways. With a network of over 15,000 member salons and spas across North America, their collective efforts recover more than one million pounds of beauty waste every year — and now, GLOW is part of that movement.


What Does This Mean at GLOW?


Through this partnership, up to 95% of the waste generated during your treatments is now being recovered and repurposed rather than sent to a landfill. Here's exactly what that looks like behind the scenes at our Etobicoke spa:


Single-use treatment items — gloves, gauze, applicators, Q-tips, and more — are collected and diverted from landfill rather than discarded with general waste.

Product packaging and containers — tubes, bottles, and jars — are sorted and recycled through Green Circle's specialized stream, ensuring they don't end up in the wrong place.

Excess treatment products — leftover masks, serums, and treatment mixtures — are recovered and converted into clean energy instead of going to waste.

Paper and plastics generated throughout the spa are repurposed into new materials, completing the cycle. Why This Matters to Us

Sustainable beauty isn't a trend — it's a responsibility. The professional beauty industry generates a significant amount of waste that, without systems like Green Circle Salons, has nowhere to go except landfills and waterways. By joining this network, GLOW Beauty Bar is taking a measurable, accountable step toward a cleaner future for our industry.

This commitment also reflects what our community has always valued: visible results, thoughtful service, and a genuine care for the people and world around us. April Is Earth Month — And Your Glow Can Give Back

This April, as we celebrate Earth Month, we're reminded that the choices we make — including where we choose to invest in our skincare — carry real weight. When you book a treatment at GLOW Beauty Bar, you're not just investing in your skin. You're supporting a business that is actively working to reduce its environmental footprint, one appointment at a time.

Introducing the newest cleanser from the SkinBetter Science family, the Refining Foaming Cleanser


SkinBetter Science Refining Foam Cleanser with foam on product

Why Your Cleanser Matters More Than You Think

Introducing the Skinbetter Science Refining Foam Cleanser at GLOW Beauty Bar


We’ve all been there: standing in front of a wall of cleansers, wondering if any of them actually make a difference. The truth? Most don’t. They either strip your skin and leave it tight, or they barely clean at all. But your cleanser is the foundation of your entire routine—and it’s time to start treating it that way.

The GLOW Approach to Cleansing


At GLOW Beauty Bar, we don’t believe in cluttered shelves or endless options. We believe in curation—choosing products that align with our values of integrity, excellence, and real results. That’s why we’re introducing only one foaming cleanser to our retail collection: the Skinbetter Science Refining Foam Cleanser.


What Makes This Cleanser Different

This isn’t just another foam cleanser. It’s a multi-tasking powerhouse that exfoliates, purifies, and conditions your skin in one elegant step. The velvety-soft formula combines an AHA blend (glycolic, lactic, and citric acids) to gently brighten dull skin, salicylic acid to decongest pores and refine texture, and a Soft Skin Blend with jojoba esters, glycerin, beta-glucan, and bisabolol to protect and condition your barrier. The result? Skin that looks brighter, feels softer, and appears less congested—without the tight, stripped feeling that so many cleansers leave behind.


The Science Behind the Results

In a clinical study led by dermatologists and ophthalmologists, 35 patients with normal-to-oily skin used the Refining Foam Cleanser twice daily for four weeks. The results? Over 94% reported that their skin looked brighter and more refined, the cleanser effectively removed makeup and excess oil, their skin felt soft, supple, and smoother, and their skin looked less congested. No adverse events were observed over the study period. This is the kind of clinical backing we look for before recommending any product to our clients.


Who Is This Cleanser For?

The Refining Foam Cleanser is ideal for clients with normal to oily skin who want a cleanser that actually delivers results. If you experience congestion in your T-zone, notice dullness or uneven texture, or simply want a cleanser that preps your skin for serums and treatments, this is for you. If you have dry, dehydrated, or sensitive skin, the Skinbetter Cleansing Gel may be a better fit—and our aestheticians can help you decide which is right for your skin.


How to Use It

Using the Refining Foam Cleanser is simple: dispense 1-2 pumps onto your hands, massage onto damp or dry skin using circular motions (focusing on areas of congestion like your forehead, nose, and chin), and rinse thoroughly with water. Use it twice daily—morning and evening—as the first step in your skincare routine.


Exclusive GLOW+ Member Perk

To celebrate this launch, our GLOW+ Members will receive an exclusive February perk: 20% off the NEW Refining Foam Cleanser for the entire month. It’s our way of saying thank you to the clients who trust us with their skin all year long. Not a GLOW+ Member yet? Ask us about joining and enjoy this perk plus so much more.


The Skinbetter Science Refining Foam Cleanser is available starting February 1, 2026, in-store at GLOW Beauty Bar in Etobicoke and online at glowbeautybar.ca. Your glow journey starts with a single step—let this be it.
