Back
in October last year, I was given the opportunity to go up to London for the UK
launch of Puressentiel’s natural aromatherapy products. Sadly, I was unable to make
it so the lovely team at Ruder Finn sent me 4 of the Puressentiel range to try
out.
I
have to admit that the latter part of last year vanished in a blur and this was
one blog post that was placed on my “to do” list and until now has been waiting
in the wings to be shared with you. This rarely happens but as I like to test
products out properly, sometimes I find the constraints of being a Mum, working
for myself and blogging take every ounce of time I have and when this happens some
blog posts are delayed.
That
said, it’s given me the opportunity to test one of the products whilst I had a
cold this winter, which gave me a proper understanding as to whether the
products do work.
So
who are Puressentiel? Launched in 2005 by Isabelle and Marco Pacchioni,
Puressentiel is a French aromatherapy brand whose aim is to challenge
traditional mind-sets and generate interest in aromatherapy. Their goal on
launch was to use 100% pure and natural products, making essential oils
accessible to all.
Isabelle
Pacchioni is the daughter of an herbalist (mother) and naturopath (father) so
her passion for natural health has been nurtured and developed through her
childhood into adulthood. With her husband Marco, they collaborated with
doctors, pharmacists, scientific researchers and aromatherapy specialists to
develop the Puressentiel range.
