In today's corporate world, supporting employee wellbeing isn’t just a trend, it’s a business necessity. From reducing stress to boosting morale, essential oils offer a natural, holistic way to create a more balanced and positive workplace. At Blomma Beauty, we provide a curated selection of pure essential oils, alongside interactive corporate wellbeing workshops where employees can create their own self-care products like bath salts, body scrubs and aromatherapy rollers.

Whether you’re enhancing your team building day or looking for fresh employee perks, here's how essential oils can elevate your corporate wellness strategy.


What Are Essential Oils & How Do They Work?

Essential oils are concentrated extracts from plants, used for centuries in aromatherapy to influence physical and emotional wellbeing. Inhalation or topical application of these oils can stimulate the limbic system (the part of the brain linked to emotions and memories) helping to relieve stress, lift mood, and sharpen focus.

In the workplace, the right essential oils can:

  • Alleviate anxiety

  • Boost concentration and mental clarity

  • Support emotional balance

  • Promote team cohesion through shared sensory experiences
