Why Our Prices Reflect Real Value: The Hidden Costs of Curating Clean Beauty in Canada

We often get asked: "Why does this cost more than what I saw on the U.S. website?"

The answer is simple, honest, and rooted in what we stand for as a founder-led business: our prices reflect real value. They’re not inflated. They’re the result of ethical sourcing, international importing, and the high costs of doing things the right way.

You're Not Just Paying for a Product — You're Paying for Access

When you shop at Asian Skincare Toronto, you get more than just the product:

• Immediate access in Canada — no wait times

• Prices listed in Canadian dollars — no surprise conversion or duty

• Shipping from Toronto — faster, local, and reliable

• Rare, imported brands that aren’t available elsewhere in the country

The Hidden Costs We Cover For You

What seems like a price difference from a U.S. site doesn’t reflect the real picture. We take care of:

• High international shipping costs

• Import duties and broker fees

• Currency conversion losses

• Packaging, storage, and handling in Canada

These costs are baked into our pricing so you never have to face hidden fees or delays at checkout.

We Are Not a Stockist — We Are a Curator

Asian Skincare Toronto isn’t just a reseller. We thoughtfully choose every brand, test products on sensitive skin, and bring in lines that align with our mission: clean, effective, rare, and toxin-conscious. Each product is selected with care, not mass distributed.

Why Pricing Transparency Matters

We don’t believe in gimmicks, false markdowns, or bait-and-switch strategies. Our prices are:

• Transparent

• Reflective of true import costs

• Set to sustain our small business and support ethical curation

What You’re Really Buying

You're investing in:

• Authentic clean beauty, thoughtfully curated

• Supporting a Canadian business that brings global skincare closer to home

• Brands with integrity, backed by formulation science, not hype

Final Thoughts

We price with purpose. Because you deserve toxin-conscious, luxury skincare — without the hidden cost or confusion. And we deserve the ability to continue curating the best for you.
