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.

The Best

Having tried many eye creams, IQFirm Eye Cream actually delivers. I do so like this product which produces amazing results!

QSpa Essentials Discovery Kit

I won this discovery kit through an Instagram contest and I’m SO glad I did. My skin has been dry and textured since having my baby 9 months ago, and since using these products, this is the first time my skin is feeling hydrated and smooth! I love every single product and am relieved to have finally found a line that works for me!

The best cleanser

I have skin issues and this is the only product I have used for years that keeps my skin healthy.

The only moisturizer I trust for my acne prone skin -perfect balance

I have been using Quanessence products for a few years now and they have transformed my skin - I have had fewer breakouts and my skin is so much healthier,
I have to say I do not like the new packaging for this product. As an acne-prone girl, I am very particular about keeping my products clean. I feel more comfortable with the pump.

Luxurious

So hydrating& rich while still feeling lightweight on the skin. One of my favourite Quannessence products!

Recent revamp of the bottle helps protect the bottle and much more sturdy. Love the product even more.

Quannessence Revitalizing Cream is excellent.

My aesthetician used and recommended the Alchemist Revitalizing Cream for me and I’ve been using it for years. It is perfect for my at times sensitive skin. I feel hydrated and it’s not heavy. Such a great product. And how wonderful that it is made in the Maritimes!

I love the light yet rich texture of this cream. It nourishes my skin deeply and I never fail to use it, no matter how tired I feel at the end of the day during my nighttime cleansing routine! You will not regret discovering this remarkable, local company!

Actually, I had given some Body Butter to our daughter who lives in BC and she loved it! Recently she asked me if I could still get it and so I ordered a couple of jars and forwarded them to her. I am always impressed with your notifications of order received, order shipped and when I should expect it. Your follow up is impeccable and I certainly appreciate it! Thank you!
