Brand Marketing Executive

Aromatherapy Associates has been sharing the therapeutic powers of essential oils for over 40 years. The brand was founded in 1985 by Geraldine Howard and Sue Beechey, therapists that had trained under the renowned aromatherapist Micheline Arcier. It was then that they experienced first-hand the powerfully positive effects of essential oils on our physical and emotional wellbeing.

As a company, we have a family culture and live by one of Geraldine’s beliefs: “It’s more than just a business, it’s a way of life”. The brand is present in over 50 markets globally with Regional Sales offices in the UK, US and Hong Kong. Distribution is across Spa, Retail, Online Retailers, E-commerce and Distributor partners.

As aromatherapy experts, our vision has remained constant for a generation – sharing the power and therapeutic effects of natural essential oils. Our award-winning blends have gained recognition across the beauty world for their transformative effects on the mind, body and skin.

We take a mindful approach to the origins, workers' wellbeing and certification of all our oils and botanicals, with a commitment to evolving our support for global community projects.
