Aromawakening is rooted in the belief - that the products we use on our skin and in our homes should feel safe, gentle, comforting, and kind.

My name is Gráinne, I am the founder of Aromawakening. I created Aromawakening from a very personal place — there was a time when I suffered with allergies and sensitive skin. The kind of natural skincare I needed simply wasn’t available. Even products described as “gentle” or “mild” often left my skin feeling itchy, and the synthetic fragrances would trigger my allergies.

What began as a personal search for relief slowly became something much deeper: a commitment to creating the kind of skincare I had longed for myself. I wanted products that felt calming, simple, and safe — made with pure, earth-derived ingredients, without the need for complicated recipes and heavy fragrances.

Aromawakening grew from that need into a small-batch range crafted with great care and intention. Every formula is made to soothe, nourish, and support the skin’s delicate barrier, while bringing a sense of comfort and trust back to the everyday ritual of caring for your skin.

This personal experience is what led me to study aromatherapy. I wanted to understand essential oils properly - not just their beautiful aromas, but how they could be used safely, thoughtfully, and with real purpose. The more I learned, the more passionate I became about creating products that felt truly safe to use around my home and on my skin.

I began studying and researching natural skincare, learning how different plant oils, butters, and essential oils could be used to create products that were both effective and gentle. My journey began with shea butter. I was drawn to it's rich, nourishing qualities and it's reputation as a beautiful natural emollient. My first product was a shea-based moisturizer, carefully developed using my knowledge of plant oils and essential oils, and refined through patience, curiosity, and a lot of experimentation.

After launching a small range of organic skincare, I continued developing my skills and went on to learn the traditional art of cold process soap making. Each batch of soap I make is created from scratch - never from pre-bought soap bases. Although it is a slow and skilled process, it gives me complete control over every ingredient that goes into my recipes. They are mild and gentle, made from luxury plant oils and butters, with care from beginning to end.

Today, Aromawakening is a collection of gentle, non-toxic skincare, shower soaps, and aromatherapy products created to support moments of calm, comfort, and everyday wellbeing. Each product is made with care, intention, and a deep respect for nature and wellbeing.

My hope is that every Aromawakening product brings you a small moment of calm - something gentle, beautiful, and reassuring that you can incorporate into your daily routine and return to whenever you need it.

I have included an Ayurveda section here on my website because it reflects my wider interest in holistic wellbeing. Like Aromatherapy, Ayurveda encourages us to slow down, understand ourselves more deeply, and support balance through simple, natural daily rituals.

I also share more of my thoughts, inspiration, and natural wellbeing tips on the Aromawakening blog, where I explore essential oils, practical Ayurveda, and simple ways to bring more calm into everyday life.

You will find more articles about Ayurveda in the coming months. I will be sending out regular newsletters, make sure to subscribe, so that you can be included in any special offers, and kept up to date with all of the latest news and blog posts that may be of interest to you. Thankyou for being here, and for supporting my journey.

With best wishes for your health & happiness, Gráinne.
