Smelling good is big business. The scent industry is a multi-billion dollar gig, racking in a staggering £16 billion annually. Unfortunately, this is an industry which doesn’t take skin care into much consideration. There are no health benefits gained by using perfumes, and dermatologists strongly advise against using any skincare products that contain added fragrances or parfums, as they are known to disrupt the skins natural defence barrier and cause irritation. Surprisingly, even the most expensive perfumes available are not coming to you from the garden or wild field, but rather straight from a laboratory – Instead of fresh flowers, think synthetic molecules.
“Discovered in 1876, the use of synthetic scents revolutionised the world of perfumery. Suddenly, scents lingered longer and could be produced in large quantities. The creative possibilities increased dramatically and at a fraction of the cost of the real thing.” – Ashley Pearson, Daily Mail
To add to the list of cons, a large majority of perfumes are tested on animals, and that just won’t do! Here at The School of Natural Health Sciences we are dedicated to creating all of life’s little luxuries in the most natural and holistic ways possible. Amongst the many holistic skincare products that we teach our students to make, we always take 4 main points of creation into consideration:
- The product must be beneficial, gentle, yet effective. (Kind to skin)
- The packaging should have 100% recyclable materials. (Kind to mother nature)
- The product is not harmful to other beings. (Kind to animals)
- All of the ingredients can be found in nature. (100% natural)

“When you’re blending and using beautiful plant oils, you can infuse your fragrance with your own emotional intention. Scent connects to part of the unconscious mind –making something yourself puts a little piece of you in it, too. Your vibe is in there.” – Amy Galper, M.A., Dipl. AT, founder of the New York Institute of Aromatherapy.
