About Bloom...
Based in the wilds of West Cornwall, Bloom Remedies was set up by essential oil expert Marie back in 2010. Marie is an accredited aromatherapist and member of IFPA with a diploma in Essential Oil Science and a beating heart full of intuitive passion when it comes to working with essential oils. That gorgeous intuition has been behind the success of the business: we have grown from a team of one (Marie making products in her kitchen) to a team of 5, but not a lot has changed apart from our scale. We are now based near beautiful Marazion in a workshop a stones throw from the wild Atlantic ocean. We still handcraft our Aroma Wellbeing and Natural Skincare products using traditional techniques and Marie is still very much involved in making, customer contact, and product development. She lives and breathes essential oils so getting to make things is one of her favourite day to day jobs, and getting to develop new blends and prodcuts is her absolute joy.
We use essential oils, herbal extracts, natural base oils, no nasties and a whole lot of love to create our fragrant and therapeutic wellbeing and skincare products, and the joy in these products has been picked up on by everyone who buys them - they can feel that the energy in these beautiful products can help us all live a better and more balanced life.
As small batch producers, using high quality botanical ingredients, Bloom has a unique and close connection to our end product, and we constantly monitor the raw materials that we use. Every stage of our making process is done by hand - from batch mixing, to labelling and bottling. This quality process, combined with the mindful and soulful way in which we make our products is what, we think, makes our ranges so beautiful and so loved by so many.
We may have grown, but we still make and create with a passion and a belief in the healing power of nature. Our unique ranges focus on wellbeing as much as they focus on their efficiency to nourish the skin. We nurture the soul. We encourage the ritutal of self care. We constantly remind ourselves of the healing ability of nature therapy. We do all this and more to allow each individual to fully Bloom xx
A little bit about Marie and how Bloom came to be....
"I launched the company in 2010 a couple of years after a full blown whirlwind of life events had literally picked up myself and my entire family and taken us into the beautiful landscape of West Cornwall. I had a crazy gut feel that I was going to somehow immerse myself in my love for plants and essential oils, I began to formulate and my husband began to plan the business framework that would make it all happen. This was in-between being a full time Mum (my 3 daughters were still young at this stage). I didn't realise it at the time, but the focus that I gained from working with essential oils every single day, the joy that they gave to me, and the break that I was able to take from no longer giving my energy to private therapy clients, was a genuine act of salvation. The oils nurtured me and spoke to me. I gave to them, they gave to me, and Bloom was born"
Within a few of years the products were being sold across the country in independent boutiques and were being recognised nationally for the quality of their results. Bloom has so far picked up over 14 national beauty awards, and we are now sold as far afield as Sweden - all thanks to the Marie's gifted and authentic understanding of the energetic power of essential oils.
And a little bit about our credentials...
But we couldn't create without celebrating and thanking all that nature has given us, We thank her by minimising our impact, and always treading lightly:
- buying only natural ingredients
- recycling and reusing wherever possible
- avoiding all use of over-harvested or environmentally damaging species (e.g sandalwood mysore, and palm oil)
- testing our final formulations on humans and sourcing ingredients that are certifiably from cruelty free origins
- being actively involved in the movement towards plastic free - switching our core ranges to glass bottles
All skincare and wellbeing should nourish you from without and within. Cruelty to the planet, cruelty to animals and thoughtlessness in the formulating process through the use of synthetic cheaper ingredients don't play any part in our journey.
