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 essential oils and vegetable oils has earned the Belgian brand its reputation as a specialist inscientific aromatherapy.

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.

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.
Founded in 1975 by Pierre Franchomme, a visionary aromatherapist and pioneer of scientific aromatherapy, the Pranarôm laboratory revolutionized the use of essential oils. Pierre Franchomme, alongside Dr Daniel Pénoël, introduced innovative concepts such as chemotype, enabling the therapeutic properties of essential oils to be precisely linked to their biochemical components. This work gave birth to a new discipline:scientific aromatherapy, based on a rigorous, proven approach.
Through this methodology, Pranarôm has democratized the use of essential oils not only as wellness tools, but also as therapeutic solutions for a variety of everyday ailments. This scientific approach has made the laboratory a world reference in the field.
The concept of chemotype marked a major advance in the identification and use of essential oils. Each essential oil, depending on its geographical origin, growing environment and harvesting period, can have a different biochemical composition. This chemical type, or chemotype, is essential to guarantee the efficacy and safety of an essential oil in therapeutic use.
