SENSITIVE SKIN SAVIOUR

QED Skincare is a unique range formulated for sensitive skin by Sydney pharmacist Shoshana Eisner. She began making products for her pharmacy clients who could not find safe, effective, natural solutions to skin conditions such as eczema, rosacea and psoriasis. The success of these initial products spearheaded years of research and development, harnessing the power of plant formulations. The result was a range of luxurious, highperformance products formulated for sensitive skin, but good for all skin. “Because we tend to focus on the effectiveness and safety of our products, most people don’t know about our ability to scent-customise,” says Eisner. “QED products are formulated with no added scent, but customers have the ability to add a scent of their choice [from the QED scent library] at point of sale. We believe everyone, even those with sensitive skin, should be able to experience the emotional benefit of scent, or the lack thereof. So, the choice to scent or not to scent is made by our customers – not us. QED has 12 scents to choose from, all hand-blended from natural essential oils.” qedskincare.com
