Satya Organic is an Indigenous, woman-led business that is positioned for growth

March 8, 2024 – North Vancouver, British Columbia – PacifiCan

All across British Columbia, creative ideas are being turned into products that solve everyday problems. These ideas are generated in our businesses, our laboratories – and even our homes. PacifiCan is supporting this innovation by investing in growing businesses that are showing they have what it takes to succeed.

Today, the Honourable Terry Beech, Minister of Citizens’ Services and Member of Parliament for Burnaby North – Seymour, on behalf of the Honourable Harjit S. Sajjan, Minister of Emergency Preparedness and Minister responsible for the Pacific Economic Development Agency of Canada (PacifiCan), announced $200,000 in PacifiCan funding for Satya Organic. The announcement took place on the same day as International Women’s Day, a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.

Founded by Patrice Mousseau, an Anishinaabe member of the Fort William First Nation, Satya Organic’s products were initially developed in Patrice’s kitchen as a skincare solution for her baby. Since then, the business has grown significantly and products are now available in thousands of stores across Canada, the US, and Hong Kong.

Satya Organic’s skincare products are made with plant-based ingredients that help address a range of skin conditions, including eczema. The company is committed to sustainability – being petroleum and mineral-oil free, and carbon and plastic neutral. Additionally, Satya products are all refillable, which helps reduce waste. With significant growth already achieved, Satya Organic is gearing up for an expansion in its manufacturing and marketing capacity.

With PacifiCan’s investment through the Business Scale-up and Productivity program, Satya Organic will create new jobs, and increase revenue and export growth. This investment supports PacifiCan’s priorities of growing B.C. businesses locally and beyond and supporting an inclusive economy that benefits all British Columbians. By connecting communities, entrepreneurs, and innovators to economic opportunities, PacifiCan is propelling B.C. forward.
