Find Us at 6X8 Market, Kensington

Smell before you buy. Our oils and rose water have a home in Kensington Market, on a shelf inside 6X8 Market at 184 Baldwin Street. Here's how we got there, and what you'll find when you visit.

Where it started

Our first market days were right here in Kensington. I'd pack the bottles at home, take a short Uber across the city and set up a little table outside 6X8 Market. The shop owner welcomed us from day one, and the neighbourhood did the rest: people stopped, opened a bottle, smelled it and started talking. One customer told me our lavender smelled exactly like the lavender plant she grows at home. Those conversations are the reason Topical Therapie is still here.

Our shelf at 6X8

Today you don't have to wait for a market day. Our rack inside 6X8 Market holds our essential oils, beauty oils and Kannauj rose water, with testers out on the shelf, so you can smell every scent and feel the oils before you take one home. It's the closest thing we have to our own little shop.

What to look for

  • Rose water from Kannauj: pure, steam-distilled the traditional deg-bhapka way. Mist the tester on your hand and notice the soft, earthy rose scent.
  • Essential oils: from lavender and frankincense to orange and peppermint.
  • Beauty oils: argan, jojoba and castor, for skin and hair rituals.
