Products made by a practitioner for practitioners

“At Aroma Lab, the difference is in the details. As a clinical aromatherapist and RMT with skin in the game, I am very conscious about what I use on my hands day after day. These practitioner -only formulations have been developed over several years working alongside multiple health-care professionals. They have been refined and carefully crafted to suit your professional needs. Unlike mass-produced products that rely on cheaper carrier oils to cut costs, my blends are and rich in therapeutic, high-quality essential oils, packed with nutrient-dense carriers and also contain higher percentages of therapeutic essential oils, ensuring you receive the full benefit of nature’s best ingredients. When you choose Aroma Lab, you’re choosing quality, expertise, and blends made for real results.
