In this article, you'll find inspiration for which skincare range or ranges suit you, and how you can use aromatherapy's skin-improving and sensory-stimulating properties in your face and body care rituals.
Aromatherapy is the cornerstone of many of Karmameju's products. The natural aromas of essential oils have a unique and holistic effect, affecting both our mental well-being and improving the condition of our skin.
In the world of medicine, essential oils have been used for centuries. They are known to affect the nervous system, aid tissue repair, stimulate the skin for better blood circulation and balance, kick-start regeneration, provide glow and reduce redness and sensitivity. The oils can affect our state of mind, for example making us more positive, relaxed, energised or focused.
We use essential oils in our face care primarily for their skin-improving properties, with fragrance and the sense-awakening effect being secondary. Essential oils are used as a counterpart to a wealth of other clinically proven ingredients and bioactive plant oils and extracts specially selected for each product's skincare purpose. Therefore, when choosing your face care, choose according to your skin's needs - not for the sake of the scent.
Our face ranges, CALMING, LOVING and ENERGIZING, are formulated with essential oils that work specifically to improve your skin's condition, each with a different focus. All our face care products are designed to strengthen the skin and to prevent and reduce signs of ageing. The products can therefore be used across the ranges based on your skin's changing needs.
In our body products, where aromatherapy is primarily used for its sense-awakening effect, you can let your nose or mind make the choice among our body oils, hand soaps, body scrubs, lotions and more. Of course, the essential oils and bioactive ingredients in our body products also have skin-improving properties that do their very best for your skin's well-being, but it is first and foremost the sense-awakening effect of the scents that you should navigate by.
We often call the aromatherapy in our body care the “emotional toolbox”, as each product is created with scents that can take the mind on a journey and help shift your mood to where you want it to be. For example, if you would like a positive boost first thing in the morning, turn to the sparkling and uplifting ENERGIZING range. If you want to calm your mind after a long day, try the relaxing and gentle CALMING range, while LOVING acts as a “loving hug” and is for when you want to find balance or feel more grounded.
We want to inspire you to use aromatherapy through sensory skincare rituals as a timeout from a busy everyday life and as part of the important self-care we all deserve and need.

Karmameju's founder and product developer, Mette Skjærbæk, has been fascinated by scents since she was young. But how do you interpret ancient perfume recipes into modern products we want to use today? We spoke to Mette about the Glyptotek's historical sources, the surprising scent rituals of antiquity and the work of creating three new products with roots going back more than 2,000 years.
Even if you don’t use aromatherapeutic skincare or products for the home, nature still ensures that aromatherapy is all around us. Trees and plants release invisible plant compounds, phytoncides, which research links to lower stress levels and increased activity in the body’s natural defence cells. This is a beautiful account of forest bathing, nature’s aromatherapy and the scientific evidence behind it.
