Intercosmetics

What Intercosmetics does

Intercosmetics is a family-owned Canadian wholesale distributor of professional aesthetic, spa, and beauty supplies, founded in 1970 and headquartered in Toronto, Ontario. The company serves Canadian spas, salons, estheticians, and medical aesthetic clinics with a multi-brand product portfolio spanning professional skincare, nail care, makeup artistry, body massage and holistic treatments, waxing, hair care, and spa furniture, acting as the authorized Canadian distributor for more than 20 brands including Diego Dalla Palma, OPI, CND, Footlogix, Gehwol, Biotone, RVB LAB, and Swiss Med.

The company's core technology is an e-commerce retail platform at intercosmetics.ca that provides product catalog browsing, account login, online ordering, and phone-based customer service (1-800.263.4333), complemented by free shipping thresholds for Ontario and Canada-wide orders. The platform supports an integrated distribution workflow spanning consumables (skincare, nail polish, wax), capital equipment (microneedling devices, electrolysis machines, facial steamers, microdermabrasion units, teeth whitening systems), and spa furniture (manicure tables, pedicure footspas, treatment lounges). Intercosmetics also operates a Training, Education & Seminars service line and a marketing tools portal.

The business model is one-time product resale through a B2B distribution channel to professional buyers. Pricing is quote-based or individually listed rather than tiered subscriptions, with the exception of a Buy Now Pay Later financing option for equipment purchases. Revenue is generated across three primary customer segments — spas and salons, licensed estheticians, and medical aesthetic clinics — with geographic scope limited to Canada. Beyond products, the company monetizes its role as a professional partner through training/certification classes and ongoing marketing and business coaching support to help beauty professionals grow their practices.
