Discover Aedos - Natural Organic Skincare




Aedos was born out my love of my love of herbs and essential oils.  I have been fascinated by herbs and essential oils for as long as I can remember. The therapeutic properties of herbs and essential oils amaze me.
This love of herbs and essential oils has led me to make skincare products and simple remedies for myself and my family over the years. Having seen the difference that essential oils could make I experimented with different oils and butters creating skincare products I love to use, from a sugar scrub with zesty uplifting Bergamot oil to bath salts to relieve aches and pains after a day in the garden.
The healing properties of essential oils work on many levels. Vetiver is known as the oil of tranquillity. On a physical level Vetiver is used in skincare as it is reputed to strengthen connective tissues and improve the elasticity of the skin. On an emotional level it is said to be beneficial for stress and insomnia and is especially good where physical, mental and emotional burnout cause exhaustion. So many people are ‘running on empty’ in today’s hectic lifestyle. This oil inspired the vetiver and lavender bath melts, to relax body and mind ready for a good nights sleep.
This passion for herbs has outgrown my kitchen and I now have a small workshop in the garden. The products that we make at Aedos have been born out of this love of herbs their healing properties. Aedos is about sharing this knowledge and love of herbs with others.
