Walmart Canada expands inclusive beauty brands across retail stores

Passionate about bringing unique products to customers. Beauty lover, Rosslyn Barbuzzi, MBA and Senior Category Manager for Cosmetics at Walmart Canada is on a mission to make it easier for customers to not only be able to choose from well-known legacy brands they know and love, but also discover emerging brands with new beauty and skincare offerings that they can't find anywhere else.

"We're making it easier than ever for new, emerging and smaller beauty and skincare brands to see their products on our shelves at Walmart Canada. We looked for brands that not only have a unique product offering but are also inclusive at their core." said, Rosslyn Barbuzzi, MBA. "We’re proud to be launching exciting new brands in-store and online this year, including some that are exclusive to Walmart and a number that are women, IBPOC and 2SLGBTQ+ owned and founded."

"The 300+ new products we’re making available to our customers through this initiative will help to create a more diverse assortment for our customers, including an expanded shade range in-store, while supporting businesses that are owned and/or led by historically marginalized groups." continued, Rosslyn Barbuzzi, MBA. "They join more than 3,000 products in our existing beauty assortment – one that has the products our customers are looking for, in the shades they need and at our every day low prices."

New products and beauty brands are expected to begin rolling out in 2023, a few notable brands are available or soon to be available in Canadian stores include Uoma Beauty, Lottie London, Prideful, Bubble Fresh Skin Therapy and more.
