Welcome to Velvet Riot—A New Era of Alternative Wellness

We’ve been on a journey. What started as Alternative Cosmetics has evolved into something bigger—something that truly reflects who we are and what we stand for. Velvet Riot isn’t just a new name. It’s a shift in focus, a stronger commitment to alternative self-care, wellness, and community.

So why the change?

Because self-care doesn’t look the same for everyone. Not everyone finds peace in pastel bath salts and yoga retreats. Some of us unwind with a bath bomb shaped like a toaster, a playlist full of melancholic bangers, and a sense of humor that’s one shade darker than our eyeliner. That’s who we’re here for.

What Velvet Riot is About

🖤 Self-Care for the Alternative Community – For the ones who never felt at home in mainstream wellness. The ones who find comfort in the unconventional, who embrace dark feminine energy, and who see self-care as a form of rebellion.

🍁 Supporting Small Canadian Businesses – We work with local artisans and ethical suppliers because we believe in building each other up. Every purchase supports more than just a brand—it supports a community.

🌿 Clean, Conscious, & Cruelty-Free – No toxic junk, no animal testing, and packaging that respects the planet.

💀 Wellness for Those Who Heal with Dark Humor – Life is chaotic. Coping can look like laughter in the face of it all, a candle that smells like bad decisions, or a skincare routine that doubles as a ritual. However you do it, we’re here for it.

Velvet Riot is not just a rebrand—it’s a home for those who never saw themselves in traditional self-care. We’re still here, still rooted in cannabis beauty and alternative wellness, but we’ve evolved. We’re creating experiences, not just products. And we’re doing it together.

This is just the beginning. You in? 💜
