Tisserand Aromatherapy Heritage: The First Essential Oil Brand
Rooted Heritage, Modern Vision: The Origins Of Tisserand Aromatherapy
Discover the origins of Tisserand Aromatherapy and our rich heritage as the first essential oil brand, founded by Robert Tisserand himself.
It’s a big year here at Tisserand Aromatherapy - our 50th anniversary!
As the UK’s first essential oil brand, Tisserand has grown from our roots to bring the highest-quality wellness products to global customers. Join us as we look back on our journey, which started with a visionary named Robert Tisserand and his dream to share the power of essential oils with the masses.
Aromatherapy is a holistic healing practice that uses natural plant extracts, essential oils, to promote health and well-being. It involves using aromatic essential oils derived from a wide variety of plants to address specific physical, emotional, and psychological needs.
The roots of aromatherapy can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where plants were integral to daily life and medicine. For example:
The reason you know about aromatherapy today is largely due to Robert Tisserand, who brought widespread awareness of Gattefossé’s research and the transformative power of plants. His 1977 book, ‘‘The Art of Aromatherapy" , has been published in numerous languages worldwide and continues to set industry standards for the safe use of essential oils.
Robert Tisserand is a leading expert in aromatherapy, celebrated for his groundbreaking work in the study, safety, and effective application of essential oils. He’s an author, speaker, educator, consultant, and, of course, our founder!
Now, he’s living in California and teaches classes online to an international audience at The Tisserand Institute, but the seed he planted in the UK continues to flourish…
In 1974, Robert Tisserand founded Tisserand Aromatherapy, the first essential oil brand in the UK. He passed down his secrets to us in person, and his lessons remain our anchor and inspiration for our sourcing and blending.
We’ve stayed true to our roots, continuing to blend our 100% pure essential oils in-house with a team of UK-based experts in West Sussex. Not ones for gatekeeping, we share our knowledge and expertise so you can be essential oil experts too!
While our feet remain firmly planted in our rich heritage, we keep our arms wide open to the everchanging quirks of modern life. Year after year, our team of experts keeps learning and growing, always finding new ways to help you boost your health and wellbeing, and make aromatherapy accessible for everyone.
Our collections include pre-made blends for specific needs like stress, sleep, and women’s wellbeing, plus ready-to-use products like Moodfix Mists and Pulse Point Roller Balls that fit right into your busy life.
Today, our products are loved worldwide—a true testament to our enduring legacy and commitment to excellence.
As we celebrate 50 years of Tisserand Aromatherapy, we're more committed than ever to sharing the amazing benefits of essential oils with everyone. We're proud of our trusted heritage and excited to keep growing with a fresh, modern vision for the future.
