In the beginning, there was Kolbjorn.
Originally from Norway, Kolbjorn Borseth is the internationally renowned skin care expert, consultant, teacher and guru behind Aromantic and the author of many books on skin care. Starting in a factory in Sweden in 1985, he has worked to create skin, hair and body care ever since.
He’s since then been rewarded with the prestigious CamExpo Life Time Achievement Award (2009). He has been described as an inspiration for the cosmetic and skincare industry and being a pioneer in educating people about organic wellness and health.
His mission is to share with others the knowledge that appears inaccessible from the cosmetic industry. He indeed makes it his priority to teach people how to make their own products and all the information about each ingredient put in them. In 2017, Kolbjorn's eldest son Benj took over as Managing Director of Aromantic and now runs the company.
Founded in 1997, and having since been recognized as one of UK’s leaders in providing organic beauty and natural skincare, Aromantic offers a wide range of ethical and high quality products and services.
