Aromatherapy Certification Program graduate“I wanted to offer a truly natural alternative to what was then available on the store shelves.”
How a teenager with oils became a body care founder.
Greetings - I am a certified aromatherapist, essential oil educator and business consultant who has been harnessing the power of aromatic botanicals since I was a teenager.
While attending the University of Colorado at Boulder in the early 90's, I traveled the world spending time in India and North Africa, where aromatic oils such as sandalwood and frankincense are part of life's daily rituals. Upon returning to the US from these travels, with an abundance of oils in hand, I became the provider of essential oils to many of my friends and family.
Inesscents Aromatic Botanicals
In 2000, I founded Inesscents Aromatic Botanicals; an organic body care company, devoted to offering nutrient-dense, high potency botanical superfoods for the skin.
The goal was not only to provide the means to healthy, glowing skin, raise awareness on the importance of feeding our skin with the same care that we feed our body but to also support a strong and vibrant network of global organic producers. Inesscents was one of the country's first certified organic and certified fair trade body care companies.
We are an ecologically friendly, fairly traded, family owned, hand made, high quality, all natural, clean and simple body care company.
What made the difference, in Amber’s words.
Amber founded her company years before she certified. Here is what the program still added, in her own words.
Joy through the whole program
Decades into running her own body care company, the coursework still delighted her.
I LOVED the whole experience!
The chemistry she was missing
The science filled the one gap that decades of hands-on botanical work had left open.
The chemistry is fascinating and a key component to essential oil knowledge that I didn't have and I know absolutely will help bring my understanding of these magical plant oils to the next level.
A clear path, one step at a time.
