Food creates space. For conversation. For culture. For community. In our Toronto office, Chef Tre Sanderson joined us for a live demo of his signature jerk paste and a conversation about the journey behind it. From learning in his grandmother’s kitchen to winning Top Chef Canada, Chef Tre spoke about Caribbean influence, innovation, and building something rooted in who you are. Moderated by Sophia Mangan, Applied Research Scientist and Black Voices Community Member, the conversation also focused on the importance of staying true to yourself and believing there is space for everyone to succeed. We closed out the experience with a delicious catered lunch from Honey's Soul Food, bringing the flavours and stories full circle. Thank you, Chef Tre, for sharing your craft and your story with us. <3

On Black Friday, we closed our website and stores for a moment of pause amidst the chaos of a day focused on hyperconsumerism. Instead, Anika D., DECIEM’s Director of Sustainability, Dina Nicola, VP of Scientific, and David Luba, Co-Founder of Veritree, hosted an open conversation on how data, transparency, and collaboration are transforming sustainable beauty at our Toronto HQ. They spoke about our science-led approach, from lab innovation to packaging design, and our new partnership with veritree, supporting their verified, nature-based restoration work across forests, kelp, and coastal ecosystems, using transparency and verification to cut through greenwashing. We also discussed what’s next in DECIEM’s sustainability journey as it deepens its investment in regenerative action globally. A huge thank you to Veritree and our guests for joining us to learn more about the future of sustainability and practical innovation - because transparency isn't a trend, it's the future of sustainability.

To honour Black History Month, we partnered with Black Skin Directory to host an in-person panel, “Beyond the Surface”, exploring representation in science and skincare. Moderated by Khadijat (Dija) Ayodele, and featuring voices from across the beauty landscape — Gary Thompson, MUA and content creator, Caroline Ufuoma O., and Joseph Basham from our team — the conversation brought transparency and education to the forefront. Together, the panel unpacked enduring myths about Black skin, discussed the safe and effective use of direct acids and SPF, and explored how representation in science, education, and marketing builds trust and belonging in beauty. We’re grateful to everyone who helped create this space for open dialogue, learning, and representation. Conversations like these remind us that progress in beauty happens when we come together.

Last month, we welcomed 40 grade 10-11 students from all over Canada to our Toronto HQ office and labs for a field trip and careers talk as part of Engineering Outreach’s University of Toronto Blueprint program. The Blueprint program is a four-week academic enrichment experience for motivated Black students passionate about science and engineering. Science is pretty important to us at DECIEM, and ensuring the field of STEM reflects our communities is vital to creating the world of Belonging we all deserve. Engineering Outreach is a network member of Actua, a national leader in breaking down the barriers that prevent equity deserving youth from accessing STEM experiences - and our latest community partner. We look forward to working closely with Actua to support access to STEM education for all. 🔬🥼
