Our Vision

The Institute of Aromatherapy was established by Jan Benham in 1986 to provide quality education and training in the field of Holistic Studies and Natural Skin Care. The Aroma Shoppe was created in 1996 to provide the ingredients necessary for the making of Aromatherapy products and natural cosmetics. 
​
We offer accredited courses worldwide in Aromatherapy, Holistic Skin Care and Cosmetic Making with the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT) which is the largest and leading professional association for complementary, beauty and sports therapists in the UK and Ireland.

We also offer a Cosmetic Making Diploma Course in how to make your own skin, hair and body care products and makeup (lipsticks, cosmetic pencils, mascara, foundations, eyeshadows and blushers).

For the ‘Do-it-Yourself’ enthusiast, the Aroma Shoppe offers cosmetic making books, and supplies the equipment and packaging needed to make cosmetics such as cosmetic making moulds and elegant lipstick tubes from 1 to 10,000.
​
The Aroma Shoppe also carries organic ingredients including natural colourants such as carmine and mica’s, natural emulsifying wax and seaweed extracts for making your own cosmetics. See the article on seaweed in cosmetics  for the latest anti-ageing recipes.
