The Sauvage-s project
The Sauvage-s adventure is based on a desire to reconnect with nature in our actions related to well-being.
For us, doing good comes through plants.
Our environment is populated by billions of plants which have all developed specific defenses to protect themselves. These tricks create a range of smells, tastes and benefits that humans can use in turn. With us, you will find natural products whose recipes have been designed to “borrow” the superpowers of plants . Thanks to them, we respect them infinitely.
Particular attention is also paid to the territory in which we operate: we want to promote local plants through several products. This is a trend that will continue to grow as we evolve.

The Wild Story
The trip that changed everything
2020 when the Covid-19 pandemic arrived, the future Sauvage-s, Julien and Anna, felt the need to review their life priorities. They spent their days in the city in front of computers, confined in interiors that had become very cramped. The desire to reconnect with nature then awoke, stronger than ever. Their summer vacation trip was therefore well timed!
Road trip on the 138
Having left for the North Shore, they rediscovered the joys of the great outdoors and Anna was able to reconnect with her passion for plants, a passion she had had since she was little. She passed it on to Julien who was quickly won over by this world that was both beautiful and complex, rich and humble.
As they traveled, they began to imagine a product for each wild plant they harvested. A stimulating game that allowed them to dream while remaining in touch with their values: respect for the environment and the body.
From the dream...
At the end of the trip, sitting at a table in a restaurant in Old Quebec, they began to plan ahead because, ultimately, the dream was no longer enough for them. Putting their ideas down on paper, they said to themselves: "Why not us?"
The foundations of Sauvage-s then came out of their heads with the creation of their own universe. A company on a human scale, based on a strong environmental ethic and a desire to reconnect with nature in gestures related to well-being.
...to reality
At that precise moment, when dreams give way to the will to act, Sauvage-s was born: a brand of natural and artisanal plant-based products, made in Quebec. The slogan came naturally one evening, during a passionate discussion to define the identity of the newborn: The call of nature: Care, Flavors, Scents. Julien and Anna wanted the products to cover several senses and several benefits from plants.
