Jouviance is a Montreal skincare brand founded in 2003 by dermatologist Dr. Guy Sylvestre and biochemist Roger Southin, selling anti-aging creams, serums and cleansers direct and through Canadian pharmacies. The vendor states its products are designed and manufactured in Quebec. Cosmetic actives such as peptides, retinol and hyaluronic acid are assumed largely imported since the vendor discloses no ingredient origin beyond local spruce bark extract.

Factors

Ownership

CA 100%

The vendor describes itself as proudly Quebecois and founded by a Quebec dermatologist and a biochemist in 2003, and madeinca.ca lists it as Canadian owned. Corporations Canada returned zero results for the name, so it is most likely a Quebec provincial corporation; the Registraire des entreprises du Quebec could not be reached today, SEC EDGAR full-text search returned no hits, and Wikipedia, Wikidata and The CANADA List have no entry. No sale or outside investor was found, so the owner is treated as Canadian on the vendor's word.

Manufacturing

CA 100%

The vendor's home page states its products are designed and manufactured in Quebec, and madeinca.ca lists manufacturing in Montreal. No contract manufacturer or plant is named, so the claim rests on the vendor's statement.

The returns address is a Montreal office at 995 Wellington Street, and the vendor describes its team and formulation work as based in Quebec. No careers page or headcount was found, so the single Montreal site is taken as the whole workforce.

The vendor says it uses as many local ingredients as possible and names spruce bark extract, but its formulas centre on peptides, retinol, ceramides, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, which are supplied by specialty chemical makers concentrated in Europe, the United States and Asia; packaging origin is not disclosed. The split is an estimate. The storefront runs on Shopify, a Canadian platform, and ships by Canada Post.
