The story of Quarnero begins back in the 1970s when I watched my grandmother Roza (“Rose”) talk to her plants while working in her lush floral garden. As a child, I was mesmerised by this mystical connection and her deep respect for plants and Nature. My mother, Zorica, now a pharmacist, carried on this tradition infusing these ingredients with modern science. She has dedicated her career to creating efficient, clean formulas that deliver holistic healing and wellbeing to skin and body.

Growing up by the sea, I was drawn to explore the world. I spent the beginning of my grown-up life travelling to the furthest points of the planet, always fascinated by native plants, local herbal traditions and healing modalities. After more than a decade of travels, I felt a strong calling to return home. Together with my mother, I have created a line of products that combine our family traditions, local botanicals, modern science, and everything I have learned from my travels.
