About us.
Truu by Nature is a Canadian company, founded by Suzanne Soto-Davies, a Certified Cosmetic Formulator and Trichologist in Training.
Suzanne's mission began with her frustration to repair her damaged hair – even by using others'
"natural" hair products. She studied extensively and obtained 2 Diplomas and 3 Certifications and began developing her OBLOOM brand based on the concept that hair products can be effective and eco-friendly by using nature-derived ingredients.
Suzanne also studied Holistic Nutrition and is an avid "eco-warrior", raising butterflies and advocating for the protection of bees. It's this nature-loving concept that is reflected through the natural products OBLOOM is based on.
WHY 'TRUU'?
I was lucky to have two fantastic grandmothers. They were both entrepreneurial, loving ladies that helped form my beliefs.
My maternal grandmother's last name was 'TRUU' (sometimes 'TREU' - of Estonian descent) meaning loyal and honest, and when I was ready to name my new company, the name came to me in a dream (no joke!). It was perfectly fitting.
My paternal grandmother was an avid gardener who grew everything imaginable. She had the most beautiful garden where I grew up in Peru, and our walks through it taught me to appreciate every creature, plant and herb that grew there.
It was paradise!
TRUU by Nature and the brand OBLOOM
("Organic Bloom") are my way of connecting
the dots between my appreciation for family, honouring these inspiring women's lessons, my love for nature, and its endless bounty.

Our Mission
In the realm of hair care, our unwavering focus has been on crafting eco-conscious products that embody sustainability from inception to application. With an unyielding commitment to sourcing solely from Canadian suppliers and distributors, we ensure that every ingredient in our formulations adheres to the highest environmental standards. Our dedication extends to the very core of our products, where each component is not just biodegradable but also thoughtfully encased in infinitely recyclable aluminum packaging or zero-waste alternatives.
Our mission has become
synonymous with the call to
"be the change."
In an industry often driven by superficial allure, we’ve embarked on a journey to revolutionize personal care. Plastic waste has no place in our vision; instead, we are resolute in our pursuit of crafting products that are not only kind to your scalp and hair but also to our environment.
In a world where the prevailing notion is that consumers simply desire pleasant fragrances and attractive aesthetics,
we defy the status quo.
We challenge conventional wisdom, recognizing that what we apply to our bodies carries the same weight as what we ingest because, ultimately, it all finds its way back to our environment through the drain.
We invite you to join us on this journey as we redefine the norms of personal care. With every one of our meticulously crafted formulations, you're not just investing in healthier hair; you're contributing to a world where conscious choices and eco-toxic-free products become the new norm. Together, we are rewriting the narrative of beauty, one eco-friendly product at a time.
Only tested on humans.
We are proud that none of our ingredients have been tested on animals. We are PETA registered.
