“Founded over 20 years ago by a team of aromatherapy experts, Decléor has acquired remarkable knowledge of the plant realm by applying modern research techniques to essential oils to create a new Art of Beauty. Generally perceived as empirical and poetic knowledge, aromatherapy has proved itself a science that uses the most active extracts of aromatic plants - essential oils - for skin care.”
Decléor’s beauty science, the Aroma-Duo, is based on their principle of aroma-skincare, which combines two products: an “AromessenceTM” (beauty oil) and a Phyto-Cosmetic Treatment. According to Decléor, the beauty oil acts as a booster when used with a Phyto-Cosmetic treatment. Decléor Vitaroma Wrinkle Prevention Eye Contour utilizes the Aroma-Duo concept by combining Bio-retinol and essential oils to promise fewer visible fine lines and diminished dark circles. Decléor’s holistic approach to beauty also includes numerous treatments to be found at select salons and spas worldwide.
According to Decléor, it was in 1926 that French chemist R.M Gattefosse used the word “aromatherapy” to denote the traditional art of healing based on essential oils and aromatic essences—which dates back more than 5,000 years.
