Bella Pella

Jordana Ogly, her sister Evelyn and Line Pelletier have always been entrepreneurs. In 2000, they joined forces and became part of the ownership team of Bella Pella, which had opened not long before to offer all-natural handmade soaps, cosmetics and skincare products based on traditional Italian recipes. Soon, the three women were the sole owners and a new vision for the company unfolded. While all-natural cosmetics had been growing in popularity, the packaging rarely did the products justice.

Jordana, Evelyn and Line wanted to combine quality natural ingredients with beautiful design to create healthy and socially responsible products people would rave about. "We set out to create beauty products that would look and smell fantastic, using only natural ingredients," says Jordana. Bella Pella has gained a loyal following of Quebecers who swear by the products made in the company’s Montreal workshop, sold in its two boutiques and available in select specialty stores throughout the province.
