I'm Joshua Cowan 🧙‍♂️ the Alchemist behind the Quintessence range of plant extracts.

Blending ancient alchemical tradition and modern innovation to share nature's magic with you.​

​The Quintessence Difference is Wholeness

​A standard tincture discards the vital Mineral Salts.. an essential oil captures only the volatile light aromatics, leaving the heavier compounds behind.

​I take a different approach, the modern Alchemists Path, the middle way.

​Using low-temperature Ultrasonic extraction, I liberate the full spectrum of phytochemicals without damaging them.

Then, through high-temperature calcination, I incinerate the leftover plant material in the furnace to free the purified alkaline Mineral Salts from their carbon bonds.

​Finally, I reunite them all: the volatile essential oils, heavier resins, and the crystalline salts.

​Quintessence preserves the living soul of the plant, complete, fully embodied, energetically active and bio-available.

If you wish to learn more about any of the plant essences that I offer, the internet is a wealth of information for those who seek the wisdom of the plant kingdom.
