Our Story

At the core of Iphéa is a tale woven through generations, starting with the deep-rooted passion of our matriarch Carole for herbal medicine in France, a land where natural healing is an intrinsic part of the culture.

Her passion took a significant turn when she moved to Québec, immersing herself in the rich world of American indigenous plants and mushrooms. Her years of work with the Japanese, who have been utilizing mushrooms in cosmetics for thousands of years, deeply influenced her fascination for these natural elements and their application in cosmetics and medicine. This fusion of ancient wisdom and modern science is the essence of our myco-cosmetics.

Initially crafted for our own use, our products quickly proved their efficacy. Inspired by this success, we partnered with a professional laboratory in Québec, elevating our artisanal creations to high-quality, commercial products.

At Iphéa, we take pride in our unique process of creating mushroom extracts. Our extracts are derived from freshly harvested mushrooms, handpicked by First Nations communities we have trained in responsible harvesting. This practice not only ensures the sustainability of our ingredient sourcing but also guarantees the potency of our extracts.

Each product is entirely made in Québec and is a testament to our artisanal spirit and scientific precision. Blending the regenerative powers of wild mushrooms with the nurturing touch of boreal plants, they embody the harmonious union of tradition and innovation.

Our commitment to sustainability is deep-rooted. From our refillable packaging to our ingredient sourcing, we strive to respect both the planet and the well-being of your skin.
