Oür Story

A young woman from a small island went to Germany to study holistic skincare. Her name was Sharon, and she knew she'd found her life's work. She came back to Prince Edward Island, and over the next twenty-odd years, she performed facial treatments on thousands of satisfied clients.

Sharon herself was not yet fulfilled as she could not find the natural skincare creams and serums to achieve the results she desired for her beloved clients. She wanted to give them healthy, radiant skin quickly, but everything she tried fell short.

She nurtured the dream of creating a natural skincare line that would perform to her exacting specifications for a long time. But, as a single mom raising her two beautiful children, she couldn't do it independently. Which meant her dream had to wait.

Today, Sharon is finally able to manifest her vision for holistic skincare. She has brought together an enthusiastic team devoted to combining nature's bounty in novel formulations. Guided by traditional knowledge and cutting-edge science, they perfected each formula over many iterations until it was Quannefied. Once merely just a dream, Sharon has created to provide her adored clients with the Deeply Beautiful HealthySkin™ she always knew they were worthy of.

Moisturize without the heaviness

I have come to love the Quannessence products I’ve used. QNourish is the perfect finisher (after cleansing and serum). My face feels soft to the touch and looks smoother. It is full of moisture and support but goes on with a light feel.

QEquinox Mature Redefining Cream

Love this product line. Use them regularly each am and pm. Thankyou for such a great product for mature skin!

I was unhappy with my current skincare and this came highly recommended. Within a week, I noticed a big change in my skin. The dryness was gone and my skin glows. Will definitely continue to use this product!

Love the product

I use the whole Lin and I am very please with it!

Absolutely love the Rose Mist!

I bought my first Rose Mist at a skin care clinic. It is light and refreshing and the smell is heavenly! I use it twice a day and couldn’t imagine going without it! It’s a staple for life! ❤️

QEquinox Mature Redefining Cream

Best product ever if you know how to properly use it.

QAzul Mature+ Remodelling Complex

Love this product!

Putting your best face forward

My skin is very sensitive, I have had issues with excema, rosacea. I have been using this cream for 3 years and love it because I have had no issues.

Moisturizing without feeling greasy

I’m very happy with this product. I need so little to feel great, and it helps my face look and feel moisturizer.

Thank you for your thoughtful review, Chantal! We completely understand that shipping fees can be a concern. As a small Canadian brand, we do our best to keep costs fair—and we’re happy to offer free shipping on orders over $100. We're truly glad to hear you're enjoying the Rose Mist!

Very refreshing

I use it mostly during the very muggy days and it is very refreshing. I would have given it 5 stars if I didn't have to pay so much for shipping.

I’ve used the product for a number of years and find it provides the hydration and tone my skin needs.

Tight Firming Complex

This is part of my daily routine after my serums. It has truly made a difference. I love your products.

Game changer especially for older skin 5☆

I started using Gaia oil March 2020 when everything was shut down due to the pandemic. My esthetician recommended it since I couldn't get in for treatments and it made the world of difference in my skin. I used to have oily, dry patches and a touch of rosacea on my cheeks and chin prior to using this and now I have none! I even got complimented while standing in the grocery store line from someone who said my skin glowed and asked what I was using, which is quite the compliment for a 57 year old woman. This will always remain a staple in my daily facial routine!!

It’s a lovely cream. I love all Quannessence products. Beautiful natural ingredients, well crafted, a joy to use!

Comme un verre d'eau pour ma peau

Meilleur "leave-in" masque hydratant ! C'est plus efficace que les masques blancs coréens à la mode. Ma peau est repulpée, mes pores resserés, mes rougeurs estompés. Ce produit rempli ses promesses haut la main. J'ai aussi moins de boutons. Merci ☺️

Amazing

Petite bombe de produit, efficace, délicat. Mon contour du regard est raffermi après seulement 2 semaines et mes ridules ont disparues. Mes yeux sont contents.

QALchemy Moisturizer

This is the best product I have use on my skin .

Revitalizing complex

Love it! Love it! My face feels amazing , I use it after cleansing and toning before my Serums. Amazing product! Will def be in my daily routine. Thanks!

Rose Mist

After using my milk cleanser, my rose mist is the highlight of my morning and evening routine. Its smell is absolutely heavenly.

I’m grateful I stumbled upon the Q products as i’m very allergic to perfumes but the Q products use all natural products and I can use everything about worrying about horrible sents that will take my breath away.

The rose mist is a must try and once you try it you’ll be hooked as well :)

love this product

Amazing

Love this product, has helped with fine and deep lines. Having been using the skin care routine every am and pm since middle of December. Thanks for such great products!!

Love the product

I’ve been using Quanessence for many years now. It’s great for sensitive skin, and I don’t need to use much. I must admit I miss the old glass packaging and find I don’t get as long out of the new bottles.

Thank you so much for your continued trust and loyalty to Quannessence over the years! We’re so happy to hear that our formulas continue to support your sensitive skin — that means everything to us.

We appreciate your honest feedback about the new packaging. While the switch from glass to airless bottles was made to better preserve product integrity and reduce contamination, we understand it may take some getting used to. Your comments are incredibly valuable and will be shared with our team as we continue to improve.

Thank you again for being part of the Quannessence community — your voice matters!
