Meet Miracle 10: Canadian Cosmeceutical Skincare, Made for Visible Results

If your goal is to feel confident in your own skin; barefaced, unfiltered, glowing , the treatments you book and the products you use at home should work as a team. That's exactly why we love Miracle 10.

What Miracle 10 actually is

Miracle 10 is a Canadian cosmeceutical skincare line, founded and developed in Toronto and made exclusively in Canada. 'Cosmeceutical' means the formulas sit between everyday beauty products and clinical-grade actives, calibrated just below medical grade to deliver real, visible change without downtime. The line is women-led, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and never tested on animals — clean, considered, and effective.

The thinking behind the '10'

Miracle 10's philosophy is that your skin, like any part of the body, responds to being gently exercised. Well-formulated actives encourage your skin to do what it does best: renew itself, and produce the moisture, collagen, and elastin that keep it looking healthy and radiant.

The brand frames its results in a memorable rhythm: smoother, clearer-looking skin in about 10 hours, a brighter and more even-looking tone in about 10 days, and more refined texture and pores in about 10 weeks. As with any skincare, these are the brand's claims and individual results may vary, consistency over roughly 10 weeks is where the results really show.

How to build your routine

One of the best things about Miracle 10 is how the products work together. A simple, effective ritual:

• Cleanse. Start with Cleanser I (gentle, gel-based) for delicate skin, or Cleanser II (active foaming with glycolic acid) to deep-clean and remove makeup. Massage for a full 60 seconds.

• Exfoliate. Solution I — an exfoliating toner — sweeps away dull surface cells to encourage renewal and brighten. Gentle enough for regular use.

• Nourish. Light Serum delivers vitamins, peptides, and hyaluronic acid — lightweight hydration that won't clog pores.

• Moisturize. Seal it in with a moisturizer suited to your skin — luxurious, never heavy.

• Protect (every morning). Because the line's acids can increase sun sensitivity, daily SPF is essential. Finish with Miracle 10 SPF 45 — yes, even in winter, and especially in summer.

Who it's for

Miracle 10 is made for every skin type, with collections for Normal/Maturing, Acne-Prone/Oily, Delicate/Dry, and Men. It's approachable enough if you're new to results-driven skincare, and effective enough for a seasoned skincare lover looking for their next step.

The First Step Most Routines Get Wrong And What to Do About It

Most evening routines start in the wrong place and most of us never notice.

We exfoliate, we serum, we layer treatments that promise to repair, regenerate, brighten. But before any of those products can reach the skin, they have to make their way through whatever's still there from the day. SPF. Makeup. Sebum. Pollution. The fine film of everything the skin has held up against in the previous twelve hours.

A water-based cleanser cannot remove all of it. The chemistry doesn't work that way. To dissolve oil-based residue, you need oil and the cleanser you choose to do that work matters more than almost any other step in the routine.

When that first cleanser is wrong, everything after it is compromised.

When it's right, everything after it can finally do its job.

WHY WE REBUILT OUR CLEANSING OIL

The Glowtox Cleansing Oil has been part of our shelf and our treatment rooms, for years. When we revisited the formula in 2026, we approached it the way we approach every product: through the lens of the most reactive skin in the room. Sensitive skin. Treatment skin. Post-procedure skin. Pregnancy. Acne in flux. The skin that doesn't have margin for error.

What followed wasn't a tweak — it was a rebuild. We rewrote the oil base, changed the emulsifier, and stripped the formula of fragrance, essential oils, preservatives, and dyes. Bergamot and rosemary, common in oil cleansers and increasingly understood to be sensitizing for compromised barriers, came out alongside everything else that didn't belong in a cleanser meant for the most reactive skin in the room.

What's left is the formula at its most distilled: six cold-pressed botanical oils, one plant-derived emulsifier. That's it.

THE SIX OILS, AND WHY EACH ONE EARNED ITS PLACE

Grape Seed Oil  ·  

Lightweight, rich in linoleic acid and antioxidants. Dissolves sebum and oil-based impurities without leaving residue. Adds Vitamin E and polyphenol protection.

Organic Sunflower Seed Oil  ·  

High in linoleic acid and Vitamin E. Reinforces the skin barrier, calms inflammation, and is exceptionally well tolerated by sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Rice Bran Oil  ·  

Rich in ferulic acid, tocotrienols, and squalane-like lipids. Brightens, softens, and protects against environmental oxidative stress. Quietly the most underrated oil in the formula.

Pumpkin Seed Oil  ·  

Loaded with zinc, Vitamin A, and essential fatty acids. Supports cell turnover and balances sebum. Nutrient-rich without being heavy.

Avocado Oil  ·  

Vitamins A, D, and E, plus oleic acid. Softens, conditions, and helps gently dissolve long-wear makeup and physical SPF.

Di-PPG-2 Myreth-10 Adipate  ·  

The single plant-derived emulsifier. This is the ingredient that allows the oil to bind with water and rinse clean — without the surfactant strip you'd get from a foaming or gel cleanser.

HOW TO USE IT IN YOUR ROUTINE

Glowtox Cleansing Oil works best as the first step in your evening routine — before any other cleanser, serum, or treatment. Two pumps onto dry skin. Massage gently for thirty seconds. Add water with your fingertips and you'll feel the oil turn milky as it emulsifies. Rinse with warm water.

Follow with a water-based cleanser if you've worn full coverage makeup or layered SPF, or stop there on a lighter day. Both are correct. Listen to your skin.

It can also be used as an occasional AM cleanse if your skin feels congested or you've layered overnight masks. Most days, evening is enough.

WON'T OIL BREAK ME OUT?

It's the most common hesitation we hear at the front desk, and the answer is the opposite of what most of us were taught.

Acne-prone and oily skin tends to be low in linoleic acid and high in oleic acid. To compensate, the skin overproduces sebum — which is what we then over-cleanse, restarting the cycle. The right oils, particularly those rich in linoleic acid, help rebalance that pattern instead of feeding it.

The Glowtox Cleansing Oil leads with grape seed, sunflower, and rice bran for exactly this reason. Pumpkin and avocado complete the nutrient profile. Nothing in the formula is comedogenic. Nothing strips.

THE VALUES BEHIND THE FORMULA

Glowtox is GLOW's house brand. Every formula in the line is developed alongside our aestheticians and used in treatment before it ever reaches the shelf. When you bring the Cleansing Oil home, you're bringing home the same first step we use on you in the treatment room.

It's vegan. It's cruelty-free. It's pregnancy-safe. It's made in USA. None of those facts are decorative — each one reflects a decision we made about how this product should exist in the world.

THE FIRST STEP, MADE GENTLER

There's no urgency to this. The Glowtox Cleansing Oil is here, in spa and online, whenever you're ready to rethink the start of your routine. If you've ever finished cleansing and felt that quiet tightness — the one that means your barrier is asking for something different — this is what we'd hand you across the front desk.

Cleansing without compromise. The first step. Made gentler.

Cheers to Gut Health and Clear Skin!

Following a vegan, gluten-free diet can be challenging, especially if you're trying to get enough protein to meet your nutritional needs. However, it's not impossible! Here's a sample meal plan that's high in protein, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly for clear, glowing skin.

Breakfast

• Protein smoothie: Blend together 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1 scoop of vegan protein powder, 1/2 cup of frozen berries, and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds.

• Gluten-free vegan pancakes: Mix together 1 cup of gluten-free flour, 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 mashed banana, and 1 cup of almond milk. Cook on a non-stick skillet until golden brown on both sides.

Snack

• Roasted chickpeas: Toss 1 can of chickpeas with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of cumin. Roast in the oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Lunch

• Quinoa salad: Cook 1 cup of quinoa according to package instructions. Mix with 1/2 cup of cooked black beans, 1 diced red bell pepper, 1 diced cucumber, 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, and 1/4 cup of diced red onion. Dress with a mixture of 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard.

• Gluten-free crackers with hummus: Choose a brand of gluten-free crackers that uses healthy whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, or millet. Serve with your favourite flavour of hummus.

Add 1 cup of dried lentils, 4 cups of vegetable broth, 1 diced carrot, 1 diced celery stalk, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until lentils are tender.

• Roasted vegetables: Toss your favourite vegetables (such as sweet potatoes, broccoli, and bell peppers) with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and your favourite seasonings (such as garlic powder, salt, and black pepper). Roast in the oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and caramelized.

Dessert
