Our Story

Nezza Naturals was co-founded by James Trueit and his daughter Sasha Prior on Galiano Island B.C. in 2004. They both share the belief that plant-based ingredients hold powerful healing qualities and what you put on your body is as important as what you put in it!

They then opened a beautiful retail and manufacturing location in Victoria B.C. Canada.

The dream of Nezza Naturals began on Galiano Island B.C.

James Trueit started hand making aromatherapy blends and therapeutic skin care for friends and family and soon after sold at local markets.

James has spent years researching and formulating the high quality and genuinely natural products found at Nezza Naturals.

“Our goal is to keep our bodies healthy,

but another reason we use all these ingredients is

the environment and what we’re putting back in the water.”
