Glooscap’s Finest Herbal Body Care is an Indigenous-owned and operated business founded by Clinton Ray Howard, rooted in Mi’kmaq culture, traditional healing, and community empowerment.
Trained in Horticultural and Landscaping Technology at Nova Scotia Community College, Clinton integrates his academic studies with the plant-based wisdom taught to him as a child. He crafts healing packs and products using traditional medicines like bear grease, sweetgrass, and sage, as well as other natural ingredients such as castile soap and essential oils. These creations are not only functional but also serve to preserve and share Mi’kmaw approaches to health and wellness.
Clinton is listed as a maker in the Mi’kmawitasik – Mi’kmaw Made Program for his creation of herbal remedies and body care products that use Mi’kmaw medicinal knowledge and sustainable practices.
