Midnight Paloma goes big on self-care

- ALEESHA HARRIS

Midnight Paloma is one of those brands you are likely to discover on Instagram.

The Vancouver-based natural beauty company’s feed is full of pretty products posed atop pop-of-colour background­s.

They’re the kind of shots that are sure to make a person stop their random speed scrolling and double-tap. But, it’s also a brand that’s about a whole lot more than mere “likes.”

We caught up with brand founder Tayler Mariles to chat about Midnight Paloma, the name, the products and what sets her homegrown brand apart from other offerings.

Q For those who aren’t familiar, what is Midnight Paloma?

A Midnight Paloma is a company dedicated to clean beauty and hero ingredient­s. After working in the beauty industry for 12 years, I wanted to set my focus on creating my own beauty brand using all-natural ingredient­s.

I wanted it to be modern and look cute sitting on your counter but I also wanted it to be something that you would feel good about putting on your body.

Self-care is so important and I want my products to be a part of everyone’s daily routine.

Q Is there a story behind the name?

A The name Midnight Paloma came from a few different inspiratio­ns. The first collection was the Detox, which is charcoal dedicated, hence Midnight. And then the Paloma was the inspiratio­n behind the scent: blood orange, lime, vanilla and grapefruit.

Q Who is the target customer?

A Anyone who is looking to add natural products into their lives.

Q What has been the reaction to the brand?

A It’s been amazing. This has been an incredible six months. The line has grown so much and I’m continuall­y inspired by positive feedback we receive.

Q What is the price range for Midnight Paloma products?

A I like having a range of sizes and prices available for people to try. We do a lot of products in mini sizes, so they are great for anyone looking to test our line. They start at $12 and our full sizes can go up to $48.

Q Where can people check them out?

A We are online at midnightpa­loma.com and in 25-plus stores Canada-wide.

Q Lastly, what’s next?

A We have lots of really exciting things happening for 2019! We will definitely be adding more into our Skincare Collection and Tools — I can’t wait.
