Mont Echo Naturals was born out of the discovery of the benefits of Sea Buckthorn by its president, Brad Johnson. A trained biochemist, he was diagnosed with a rare cancer of the head and neck at age 27. He subsequently underwent nine months of aggressive radiation and chemotherapy.

The same year, Brad's Finnish father-in-law planted one of Quebec's first Sea Buckthorn orchards, and Brad was intrigued by the purported therapeutic qualities of the plant. As he learned more about Sea Buckthorn?s extraordinary nutritional profile, Brad realized the potential of the plant for skincare applications. The historic use of Sea Bauckthorn oils to combat burns, skin damage, and trauma from radiation struck a particular chord with Bradley, who was himself dealing with the devastating effects of radiation treatments. He decided to develop products to nourish the skin from the inside out using the fruit planted by his father-in-law.

Once in remission, Bradley used the first harvest from the family orchard to experiment, test and develop protocols for the transformation and extraction of the fruit, and created his first suite of 100% natural skincare products. He then began the commercialization of the products and installed a boutique and Sea Buckthorn interpretive centre in the village of Lac Brome in the Eastern Townships of Quebec.

Today, Mont Echo has grown beyond its humble roots, increasing its production capacity and allowing the introduction of new products; however, Brad's initial vision remains evident in the company mission: quality, commitment to the local farmers and sustainability.
