A great Canadian skincare line, inspired by those who weather the unforgiving ways of the Atlantic, meet Nova Scotia Fisherman Xtreme Skincare. Founded by Les Falconer and his uncle Perley Beairsto, in the agricultural Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia, these two made it their mission to give back to the hardest working people in their Maritime community.
Les and Perley knew they wanted to create premium skincare products that would assist in protecting the brave Nova Scotia fishermen from the harshest of elements. However, they wanted to go one step further by ensuring the products only contained high-quality, conscious ingredients sourced close to home.
So they did just that, Nova Scotia Fisherman products contain no added preservatives, no artificial colours, and no artificial scents. Using only certified organic natural oils, inspired by the breathtaking environment of Nova Scotia. They perform no animal testing and all of their products are petroleum, paraben, petrochemical, synthetic and filler-free!
Instead, they infuse all of their skincare products with the magic powers of Atlantic Sea Kelp, harvested locally from the Bay of Fundy! Sea Kelp acts as an amazing skin conditioner as it is packed with antioxidants and has anti-aging properties to help improve skin elasticity and softness, all while detoxifying and protecting.
If that isn’t enough reason to try their product, know that a portion of your sales goes towards the Nature Conservancy of Canada. A private, non-profit organization, that partners with individuals, corporations, organizations, and governments to protect our most important natural treasures — the natural areas that sustain Canada’s plants and wildlife.
