The PranarômAromatherapy laboratory was founded in 1975 by Pierre Franchomme, a renowned aromatherapist and author of numerous books on the use of essential oils in medicine and naturopathy to provide daily care for the whole family.
After a gradual evolution in research, modernaromatherapy reached maturity in 1980, when biochemists isolated the active principles from the molecules. Doctors Daniel Pénoël and Pierre Franchomme introduced the concepts ofscientific aromatherapy and chemotype (chemical type), which made it possible to match the therapeutic properties of essential oils with their constituent molecules.
Dr. Pierre Franchomme, with the notion of chemotype, helped to improve the identification of active ingredients in the extracts used. From then on, science redoubled its investigations into phytology. The quality of PRANAROM's organic essential oils and vegetable oils has earned the Belgian brand its reputation as a specialist inscientific aromatherapy.
Pranarôm organic essential oils meet the highest quality standards... Choosing a Pranarôm essential oil means choosing an essential oil that is 100% pure and 100% natural. Pranarôm is a world reference in scientific aromatherapy thanks to the quality of its raw materials. More than 300 100% pure and natural essential oils are presented to consumers under the Pranarôm brand.
Each batch ofPranarôm essential oil is botanically and biochemically defined, then scientifically analyzed by gas chromatography. Pranarôm makes no compromises on the purity and components of its essential oils. The HECT label is the guarantee of this unrivalled quality.
Aromatherapy as offered by Pranarôm can only be practised with products of consistent, irreproachable quality. Pranarôm carries out physical and chemical quality controls. For each essential oil, physical tests such as refractive index analysis, rotatory power analysis, density measurement, flash point calculation... are carried out. Chemical tests are also carried out: chromatography and mass spectrometry. Odor, color and texture are also tested against strict standards.
Pranarôm works closely with aromatic plant producers and distillers around the world. This proximity enables Pranarôm to control the quality of its essential oils from the plant to the bottle. In Madagascar, Pranarôm began working with growers in the early 2000s to develop responsible cultivation of aromatic plants and traditional distillation that respects both the environment and industrial quality.
In 2009, Pranarôm launched a vast local development project in Antsirabe, providing stable and equitable employment for over a hundred people, while preserving the laboratory's responsible supply of essential oils. Pranarôm supports organic farming because it is the best for Nature. Whenever possible, Pranarôm formulates its products in ORGANIC quality and complies with the requirements of ORGANIC certification.
In the 1980s, modern aromatherapy took a decisive step forward with the identification of the active principles of essential oils. This period marked the scientific maturity of the field, thanks to the work of Doctors Daniel Pénoël and Pierre Franchomme, who introduced two fundamental concepts:
In this way, Pierre Franchomme has contributed to improved identification of active ingredients, paving the way for targeted, personalized use of essential oils. These advances have strengthened aromatherapy's place in modern natural medicine.
Pranarôm guarantees essential oils of impeccable quality, meeting the highest standards in the industry. The HECT (Hemotyped Essential Oil) label attests to this unrivalled quality:
These guarantees are obtained through rigorous analyses, including:
