Boreal Shield™ was created from life in cold climates — where winter isn’t optional, it’s unavoidable.
Just as we’ve learned to protect our skin from the sun in the summer, skin also needs protection in the winter. Cold air, wind, and dry indoor heat place constant stress on the skin barrier, often leading to dryness, irritation, redness, and premature ageing.
Boreal Shield™ exists to meet that need.
Winter Protection Is Just as Essential as Sunscreen
In summer, sunscreen is a daily essential — even on cloudy days.
In winter, protection is just as important, but often overlooked.
Harsh winter conditions strip moisture from the skin, weaken its natural defense, and leave it vulnerable to damage and premature ageing from wind, cold exposure, and rapid temperature changes. Boreal Shield™ is designed to act as a preventive winter skin shield, helping protect and support the skin barrier in the same intentional way sunscreen protects against summer exposure.
This isn’t about replacing moisturizer — it’s about proactive protection for winter living.
Our Founder Story
Boreal Shield™ was founded in Winnipeg, Manitoba — a city known for its long, harsh winters. Experiencing firsthand the impact that extended cold, wind, and dry air can have on skin, it became clear that much of traditional skincare wasn’t designed for true northern conditions or for those who want to fully enjoy winter activities.
What was missing wasn’t more products — it was purpose-built winter protection.
Boreal Shield™ was created to fill that gap, offering skincare designed specifically for cold climates, inspired by the resilience required to live, work, and enjoy the outdoors through winter.
Designed for Harsh Climates
Boreal Shield™ products are made for people who live, work, and move in winter environments. Whether you’re commuting through freezing temperatures, spending hours outdoors, or transitioning between cold air and dry indoor heat, your skin faces constant exposure.
Our formulas focus on:
- Supporting the skin barrier
- Locking in moisture without heaviness
- Helping calm weather-related irritation
- Delivering reliable protection in cold, dry conditions
Our Commitment
Boreal Shield™ is committed to protecting skin where winter is a way of life. We design products that help defend the skin barrier, support comfort, and meet the realities of cold climates — without compromise.
Just like sunscreen in the summer, winter skin protection should be part of your daily routine.
Our Mission
Boreal Shield™ was created for life in cold climates. Just as sunscreen protects skin in the summer, Boreal Shield™ helps protect the skin barrier during harsh winter conditions — from freezing temperatures to drying winds.
Designed for northern living, our products focus on purposeful protection, barrier support, and comfort for skin exposed to winter environments.
