Jack59 Inc. is an Edmonton company founded in 2015 by Vanessa Marshall that handcrafts shampoo and conditioner bars in its own Alberta facility and describes itself as Indigenous-owned and women-led. It sells direct and through Well.ca, London Drugs, natural food chains, Whole Foods Market, Calgary Co-op, and a few Sobeys banners in Alberta, per its store locator data. No federal corporation record exists, so it is presumed an Alberta corporation, and the Alberta registry could not be checked.
Factors

Published ingredient lists are built on commodity cosmetic surfactants and conditioning agents (sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, cocamidopropyl betaine, behentrimonium methosulfate) that are mostly produced in the US, Europe, and Asia rather than Canada, while the vendor says it sources from Indigenous suppliers where it can and uses compostable packaging. The split is an estimate; no supplier list was published. The vendor runs on Shopify but sells through many Canadian retailers, so platform dependence is limited.
