Quinque Skincare, a Spanish active cosmetics brand founded in 2020 by Mercedes Marcos Coronas, a pharmacist, formulator, and holder of a master’s degree in skin biology. A cleanical approach, at the crossroads of nature and science.
The brand begins with a simple observation: 90% of skin problems take root in inflammation. Stress, pollution, broken nights, screens, coffee — it all ends up written on the face. Rather than promising a return to youth, Quinque claims a different ambition: aging better. To age well, rather than merely look young. The gesture is as philosophical as it is cosmetic, and that changes the grammar of the products. At least 95% naturally derived ingredients, formulas enriched with active molecules, and a flagship active ingredient, CBD, for its antioxidant, soothing, and revitalizing properties.
Mercedes says it herself: the skin is the body's largest organ and its first line of defense, so it deserves the same seriousness we give to the rest. There is no shame in having "complicated" skin, she says; only the desire to nourish it intelligently.
