Aromatherapy is an essential and important part of Karmameju's DNA. The natural aromas of essential oils have a unique and holistic effect that both improves the condition of the skin and influences our mental well-being.

Lavender, for example, is known to soothe both the skin and the mind. These oils are extremely bioactive, effective and concentrated, with a highly complex chemistry – each oil is composed of hundreds of unique compounds.

At Karmameju, we are passionate about aromachology, the study of how people are affected by scents. The sense of smell is essential and affects us more than many of us realise. It is directly connected to the limbic system, the brain's centre for memory and emotions, which allows aromatherapy to influence our state of mind, energy and mood: it can make us more positive, relaxed, energetic, focused and much more.

Our three aromatherapy ranges, LOVING, CALMING and ENERGIZING, each have their own physical and emotional focus. They work as an “emotional toolbox”, as each product is created with scents that can take the mind on a journey and help move your mood to where you want it to be.

If, for example, you would like an uplifting boost in the morning, choose the sparkling and uplifting ENERGIZING range. If you want to calm your mind after a long day, try the relaxing and gentle CALMING range, whereas LOVING works like a positive and loving hug when you want to find balance or feel more grounded.

With our scents, we would like to inspire you to use aromatherapy through sensory skincare rituals, as a timeout from busy everyday life and as part of the important self-care we all deserve and need.

We always recommend inhaling the aromatherapeutic scents of Karmameju products from the palms of your hands to get the full scent experience and aromatherapeutic effect.
