Our Company

Co-founded in Quebec in 1989 by Michel Desjardins and André Gauthier, who decided in 1997 to market a line of natural products made from essential oil and balsam fir gum under the Sapino trademark. Traditionally recognized for its beneficial properties on the respiratory tract by Indigenous peoples and early Canadian settlers, balsam fir gum has since continued to attract increasing interest from researchers such as biologists and chemists, who are learning all about the benefits of this wonderful product: Canadian balsam fir gum.

Mission

Since the launch of our Sapino trademark, our goal has remained the same: to introduce consumers to all the benefits of Canadian balsam fir. Our commitment to better natural health is paramount, and we strive to provide consumers with a superior-quality, effective natural product with guaranteed results.

SAPINO products are manufactured in laboratories accredited by Health Canada and subject to superior quality standards for customers concerned about better natural health. They are non-toxic and not tested on animals. In addition, we ensure that no trees are cut or damaged in the process of harvesting fir gum and that the manufacturing processes are environmentally friendly.
