When I first saw the packaging, I was immediately smitten by the retro and carefree vibe.
Noted as ‘skincare for the travel inclined’.
Vintage Noon was designed to evoke a feeling of nostalgia. The kind that invites you to reminisce about your favourite vacation spots and treasured memories.
By storytelling through sensory experience, Vintage Noon sets out to bring Canadians good vibes through simple, effective skincare.
Meet The Products
Vacation Skin Redness Recovery Overnight Mask and Moisturizer:
This 2-in-1 overnight mask and daily moisturizers’ main goal is to calm irritated skin and moisturize dehydrated, barrier compromised skin.
We’ve all been sunburned on holiday or have had our skin react to the change in climate. Having a tube of this in your bag is a secret weapon to happy holiday skin. It is made with ingredients like Centella Asiatica to calm redness, Ceramides to reinforce your skin and Calendula Extract to hydrate. Even the tube gives a retro vibe, like a salve you might find in a medicine cabinet. Vacation skin to the rescue.
Gilded Sands Barrier Enhancing Shimmering Body Oil:
Held in a luxurious glass bottle, this non-greasy body oil will transport you to warm summer days or memories vacationing somewhere dreamy and tropical. It has a subtle golden shimmer and the soft scent of Sicilian Blood Orange allowing you to wear it on its own or layer with other fragrances. It can be used as a body hydrator or a finishing touch as a hair oil. The stunning bottle speaks for itself and the ingredients back it up. Made with botanical oils that mimic the skins natural lipids, they lock in hydration and soften the skins texture. Perfect after a day out in the sun.
Pro Tip: Apply the overnight mask as a body cream and then apply the body oil on top for even more hydration. It will feel so nourishing.
Meet the Founder
After having a conversation with Marco Tsang, founder of Vintage Noon, it was clear that his 10 years of experience in corporate beauty shaped his intention of how he wanted to start a brand and what products to bring into the world.
Built from scratch, he wanted it to be an intersection of his life: storytelling, his passion for travel and the nostalgia that travel brings.
Q: What was the motivator that made you take the idea and put it into action to create the brand?
A: I think it was a slow build up. Going back to the career I had in beauty, I was always building someone else’s brand. I saw my career growing by my contributions but it never felt 100% fulfilling. Because of my experience I was in a spot where I thought, maybe I can do it. The thing that really got me to start was the question, what if?If I don’t start, am I always going to keep asking myself, what if I did? I took it slowly and built it step by step, one day at a time.
Q: What was the first product that you formulated or launched?
A: The first product to launch was the mask in September 2024. A few months later, I was starting the creation process with the body oil. It launched in November 2025. I approach the business one product at a time. I took what I learned from launching the mask and then applied that into the body oil. Going forward, I will apply those learnings to the next product. That’s how I approach launching products. I didn’t want to come out with five products at once. I really wanted to take my time creating a really good product and take what I learned from that and apply it to the next.
Q: What do you want people to know about your brand?
A: I want people to know that with Vintage Noon you can have storytelling, romance and have effective skincare. Our products are multi-purpose and made for anyone. It’s for the people you might not see on the major beauty campaigns or through influencers. It’s for the person who loves to explore, that is curious and always looking to improve themselves.
Q: What is your top selling product and what do you have coming in the future?
A: After launching the brand almost 2 years ago, the Vacation Skin Mask is still the best seller. It was the one that ultimately created the brand and all of the products can be created to fall back on this one product and compliment it. You can use it as a face cream, body cream or hand cream. The next product we are working on is a lip product. Something that is travel friendly, multifunctional and formulated with our specific climate in mind.
Q: What does it mean to you to be a Canadian beauty brand?
A: I think being a Canadian beauty brand is so important. In my career, I’ve had many conversations with American brands and they would assume they could just do the same thing here when launching a product as in the US. Just copy and paste. Part of my previous job was to put emphasis on how Canadians ARE different, so it should be approached differently. We are individuals. How we speak to our customers, our climate, and our cultural diversity is so important. Canadians love to support one another and I love to shine a light on us and bring more options to Canadians.
Vintage Noon is a brand affectionately inspired by times of the past and perfectly blended with the current innovation of skincare.
It is a brand Canadians can call their own.
