through his inspiration and guidance, I personally have been able to overcome

Aromantic is the inspiring
result of the 30 years of experience, passion, dedication and vision of
Aromantic’s founder, Kolbjorn
Borseth and his team.
In his own words:
"Teaching and sharing this knowledge is not a hobby, or even work... but a mission." |
“Welcome
to the Aromantic website. I’m very proud to share with you the result of many
years of work and dedication. Originally from Norway, I have 30 years of
experience in complementary health and had the pleasure of opening my first
natural cosmetics manufacturing company in Sweden 25 years ago, which employed
10 people and was part of a small co-operative. After working in Sweden, often in partnership with leading complementary health experts, such as Lilly
Johansson - Lilly was a natural health icon who run her own complementary
hospital and wrote 15 books. I was instrumental in getting 2 of the books
written. After doing all of that I knew what my next passion was - to come to
the United Kingdom and to share the secrets of the cosmetics industry with both
professional therapists and to ‘ordinary people’. As I’ve said many times
before, teaching and sharing this knowledge is not a hobby, or even work…it’s a
mission. I am fulfilling my dream, which is always evolving into unknown but
exciting territory!
My vision for the future is to:
- Continue to support and educate therapists about new and
innovative as well as classic raw materials that they can use to tailor make
products for their clients and so enhance their therapeutic practices.
- Keep on showing people that they can make their own natural skin,
hair and body care products, whatever their level of ability!
- Expand my efforts to share my knowledge about the therapeutic
value of vegetable oils so that they become part of a prescription instead of
using them simply for their lubrication properties.
- To write more books!
-
Stay innovative and on the cutting edge of new raw materials for
natural skin care, effectively making my customers pioneers of the natural skin
care movement while at the same time finding as many organic or bio-dynamically
grown materials that are also fairly traded from community co-operatives.
- To constantly improve what Aromantic offers.
- All of these things are very close to my heart.

“He truly is a very decent and very
genuine guy. I am very inspired by him and by what he does. Just made 20 pots
of lavender foot cream for an event in our town hall. Many thanks to you and
your team.” Luzia, UK
Kolbjorn continues:
"The reason I do this work is right in front of me: the people who want to learn what I know...together we can all make the world a better place." |
“Apart
from writing and publishing my books, I developed a range of courses and started
teaching therapists and the public how to make their own natural skin, hair and
body care products in 1997. I, along with my co-teachers, teach up to 50
courses a year in different settings in the United Kingdom. It has a been a
great source of pleasure to me to be invited to teach by UK holistic
health/beauty departments of colleges and private schools and of course to set
up and run my own courses in Scotland and London. Therapists come from all over
the world to my London courses to make their own natural cosmetic products. I
love teaching the courses even though they are hard work in terms of logistics,
the physical moving and setting up because the reason I do this work is right
in front of me: the people who want to learn what I know. I consider it a
career highlight every time I get positive feedback from a course participant
or a customer, whether I’ve met them before or not! Together, we can all make
the world a better place, each playing our own unique part.”
“I never met Kolbjorn personally but he
had been for me a constant light of inspiration during all these years that I
had been working with Natural Cosmetics. I only spoke with on the phone for a
couple of times, many years ago, but still his voice full of inspiration and
motivation for me to start my own recipes and developments still resound in my
ears. And through all his books, articles and exclusive selection of
ingredients, definitely that for me he is my reliable guide. He deserves this
award and more. Maybe one day I will be lucky to meet him. I don't know, I am
in Spain and is not easy to get to Forres. But who knows, maybe one day it can
happen. I will love it. Best regards,”
