About Robert Tisserand

It was Robert Tisserand’s mother who first introduced him to aromatherapy, leading to a passion for the subject that continues to this day.

At the age of 17, on a train taking him back to boarding school, Robert decided that he wanted to share the benefits of essential oils with others, to improve their health and happiness. His vision was to bring essential oil based products into everyone’s home.

After years of studying and practising as an aromatherapist, Robert started the Aromatic Oil Company in 1974, from his bedroom in a South London house. During the next 11 years, despite financial struggle and discouragement from others, Robert hand-bottled the oils, hand-wrote the label for each bottle and packed the parcels that he would dispatch to customers every Saturday morning from his local post office.

Having taken eight years to write it, Robert’s first book – The Art of Aromatherapy – was published in 1977. In his book, Robert talks about nature, life force, the planets and the elements.

It was in 1984 that a new company, Aromatherapy Products Ltd, was formed, allowing Robert to act as essential oil and formulations consultant, fully utilising his years of experience.

Experience aromatherapy for your wellbeing, crafted with love by the next generation of the Tisserand family.

Why Us?

We combine tradition, science and performance to bring you products to enhance your wellbeing so you can feel your best every day.

Tradition – Essential Oils have been used for millennia to help ease everyday ailments for mind and body. We create products that utilise this heritage and are inspired by these traditions, while ensuring we provide solutions to benefit our fast-paced modern lives.

Science – Essential Oils affect our olfactory bulb, which is a component of the limbic system. This system is involved in the processing of our emotions, survival instincts and memory formation and is one of the oldest parts of our brain. Our blending oils and wash products contain omegas, antioxidants and vitamins which are proven to support skin health in topical application.

Performance – Our products are formulated with safe yet optimal levels of essential oils for each type of application, so you can get the best results. Our knowledge of Essential Oils enables us to create expertly blended products to best support your wellbeing for mind and body. We sometimes carry out panel tests on our products and the results speak for themselves!

Our Finest Quality Promise:

We understand Essential Oils like no other & never compromise on quality, using only 100% natural pure essential oils. From sourcing to blending, our expertise & integrity ensure you can trust in our knowledge & explore the benefits of aromatherapy with the finest oils.

We only work with responsible partners who meet our high ethical and quality standards.

Its what’s inside:

Our Ingredients

Sourced from around the world, all our essential oils are 100% pure organic, wild crafted or ethically harvested and this is clearly stated on each of our oils. But what’s the difference?

Organic – We only use the Soil Association Organic accreditation on products when the ingredients are 100% organic. This applies not only to our essential oils, but all our products from our pre-blended Wellbeing collection to our bath & body products. We would never claim a product or ingredient as organic unless it is 100%.

Certified organic essential oils are derived from plants that have been grown without the use of man-made fertilisers, herbicides or pesticides. Instead, it uses ecosystem management methods to maintain the health of both plant and soil instead, guaranteeing there are no inputs such as genetic modification or irradiation.

The benefits of organic agriculture include no pollution of the local air or groundwater and no synthetic chemicals in the plant or its essential oil, while maintaining the viability of the local environment. International standards are set by IFOAM (the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements), which also accredits many certifying bodies, for example the Soil Association or French Ecocert.

Wild Crafted – Wild crafted essential oils are derived from plants that are not cultivated, but are gathered from their wild habitat. Although they are not organic, they are grown in their natural habitat, in conditions favourable to the health of the plant. Care is also taken to remain as sustainable as possible.

Ethically Harvested – An ethically harvested essential oil is derived from a herb, shrub or tree that is consciously cultivated in its natural environment to ensure the species grows in abundance and is not depleted. As far as aromatic plants are concerned, species depletion is only rarely a problem with herbs (which are mostly easy to grow in quantity) but tends to be more of an issue with slow-growing trees.

Many of our smaller, more remote partners hold similar ethical and quality standards as the organic farms we work with, but some simply can’t afford to ‘make it official’. We recognise this and do our best to assure you of the quality you are receiving with your Ethically Harvested and Wild Crafted products.

Choice for you, guidance from us

Aromatherapy and wellbeing is personal to each and every one of us, which is what makes it so exciting! That’s why we ensure we bring you choice when it comes to essential oils. Prefer Rose Absolute to Rose Otto? Do you like your Cedarwood to be Atlas not Virginian? No problem. We use our expertise to guide you in the right direction and ensure you are using the oils safely, but ultimately, we encourage you to blend to your individual taste and needs.

To ensure you always know what’s inside, we list the full botanical name on our Essential Oils, so you always know you are getting nothing more or less than your selected 100% natural pure essential oil.

Sustainability

As a natural brand, protecting and respecting nature is important to us. Discover more about our efforts and plans here.

Vegan

We are proud to be a member of The Vegan Society because we understand the importance of natural ingredients. From our Essential Oils which form the base of all our collections, to our forthcoming projects, you will find the Vegan Society accreditation on all our products. This brings you peace of mind because it is not always easy or convenient to make sure that you are buying the very best from the vast world of natural beauty.

At Tisserand Aromatherapy, we only use 100% natural pure essential oils and ingredients – we will never compromise on quality. It is our brand ethos when we say Trust in our knowledge. So, for all the Vegans, and would-be-Vegans out there, you can trust in us.
