Aromantic Publications are no exception. Based on 20 years of Kolbjorn Borseth's research, development and practical application of Natural Skin, Hair, Bath, Body Care and Cosmetics products and cannot be found anywhere else.
So, whether you want to make these natural products to use at home or as hand-made gifts for friends and family, or whether you would like to tailor-make them for your clients, or create your own range of products, these information packs and sheets are for you. They are also helpful if you simply want to know more about the raw materials and ingredients that go into commonly used cosmetics and skin care products. Whatever you want to do, these Education Packs and Recipe Brochures are a definitive guide to getting started.
These Aromantic publications are extremely affordable and can be shipped at low-cost to almost any destination, with special low shipping costs applicable to orders containing only printed materials.

"Hello Louise, I absolutely loved Kolbjorn's new book on vegetable oils. Concise and with a great deal of information I know its going to a reference book that I shall be keeping close to hand. The different recipes are very easy to make, and I love the thought of using such natural ingredients. I shall be using the information to benefit my clients and to be able to give them blends to take home and use is excellent. It was so interesting to read about long and short oils, information that can make such a difference to a masssage treatment and facials. I think Kolbjorn's enthusiasm shines through the book, and having met him at a couple of therapy shows I know how helpful and knowledgeable he is. If you can use any of this, please feel free. It really is a brilliant book."

"I am so glad I ordered the latest book. I have all of Kolbjorn's books and have found them invaluable. This new book is, once again, clear and easy to read. It gives all the information you would need to immediately adapt your recipes for your clients. I can't wait to start making some of the recipes and to attend the new course. Thank you once again Kolbjorn and all your team. You are an inspiration. Regards to you all."

Education Packs
The Aromantic Education Packs are a series of publications which have
been designed to provide you with information and instructions to help
you make your own Natural Skin Care products from raw materials using
simple equipment. Also included is basic raw material information.
I saw an article today in 'proof' about your
hair colour (for my partner) and so went to have a look and couldn't
believe the amount of stuff you do, and how freely you share information,
the Education Packs in particular being brilliant.
