Nova Scotia Fisherman is a proudly Canadian natural skincare and body care brand founded in the early 2000s in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia by Les Falconer and Perley Beairsto. Originally starting as an all-natural wax candle company, Nova Scotia Fisherman evolved in 2012 into a sea-inspired skincare business dedicated to crafting eco-conscious, premium-quality skincare that reflects the rugged beauty and maritime heritage of Atlantic Canada. The name Nova Scotia Fisherman pays tribute to the province’s hardworking mariners, symbolizing resilience, authenticity, and natural protection “for the hands of the hardworking.”

Les Falconer and Perley Beairsto, inspired by their entrepreneurial roots and strong community ties, established Nova Scotia Fisherman with a mission to create sustainable jobs in rural Nova Scotia while producing high-quality, natural products. They were later joined by Bob MacLeod and Steve Byckiewicz, co-founders of Kiss My Face Cosmetics, who brought scientific and skincare expertise Nova Scotia Fisherman’s maritime craftsmanship. Initially producing handcrafted sea salt soaps, the company soon expanded into a full skincare line infused with sustainably harvested Atlantic sea kelp, sourced from the Bay of Fundy, one of the world’s richest marine ecosystems.

By 2012, the brand had fully transitioned from home-based production into a thriving natural skincare manufacturer headquartered in New Minas, Nova Scotia, combining small-batch craftsmanship with clean, innovative formulations.

At the heart of Nova Scotia Fisherman’s success is its signature sea kelp formulation, rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that hydrate, soothe, and rejuvenate skin naturally. Each product blends locally sourced and natural ingredients such as organic olive oil, shea butter, coconut oil, beeswax, and essential oils, all free from parabens, phthalates, and petroleum derivatives. Each product embodies Nova Scotia Fisherman’s “sea-to-skin” philosophy, emphasizing integrity, sustainability, and respect for nature.

Environmental responsibility is woven into Nova Scotia Fisherman’s identity. Nova Scotia Fisherman practices sustainable sea kelp harvesting to protect marine biodiversity and uses biodegradable or recyclable packaging made from post-consumer materials. Its production process minimizes waste and energy use, reflecting the company’s deep environmental ethics.

A portion of every sale supports the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC), contributing to the conservation of Canada’s coastlines, forests, and wetlands. Nova Scotia Fisherman also fosters local employment opportunities in Nova Scotia’s rural communities—most notably through partnerships with Plank Industries, a non-profit organization that provides jobs to individuals with physical and cognitive disabilities.

From its roots in small markets and local fairs, Nova Scotia Fisherman has grown into an internationally recognized brand while staying true to its Atlantic Canadian origins. Its products are now available in North America, Europe, and Asia, sold through major retailers such as Whole Foods Market, Well.ca, and independent boutiques.

Nova Scotia Fisherman’s packaging and marketing embrace coastal imagery and vintage maritime aesthetics, creating an emotional connection to Nova Scotia’s seafaring history. Its tagline, “From the Sea and the Soil,” encapsulates Nova Scotia Fisherman’s devotion to natural ingredients and dual focus on oceanic and terrestrial sustainability.

Over two decades, Nova Scotia Fisherman has become a leader in the clean beauty movement, advocating for ethical sourcing, ingredient transparency, and cruelty-free practices. Flagship products like the Rescue Balm and Sea Kelp Soap remain cult favorites, celebrated for their quality and natural efficacy. Nova Scotia Fisherman continues to innovate with marine botanicals, essential oils, and eco-friendly production methods, expanding into global markets while remaining firmly rooted in its Nova Scotian heritage.

Today, Nova Scotia Fisherman stands as a symbol of Canadian coastal craftsmanship, sustainability, and community values. Nova Scotia Fisherman exemplifies how local innovation and environmental consciousness can create products that nourish both the skin and the planet. Each bar of soap, balm, and cream is a testament to its founders’ vision—to bring the healing power of the sea to everyday life while honoring the hardworking spirit of Nova Scotia’s people and preserving the natural world that inspires them.
