From Salt Spring Island to Award-Winning Success: The Story of Aroma Crystal Therapy

For more than three decades, Aroma Crystal Therapy has been helping people reconnect with nature, wellness, and self-care through handcrafted aromatherapy and botanical skin care products. What began as a personal journey of healing and discovery on Salt Spring Island has evolved into one of Canada's most respected natural skin care brands, earning national recognition, industry awards, and a loyal customer following across North America.

A Vision Born on Salt Spring Island

The story of Aroma Crystal Therapy begins in 1989 when founder Jane Janzen established the company on beautiful Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. Inspired by the healing power of nature, essential oils, botanicals, and vibrational therapies, Jane set out to create products that would nurture both body and spirit. Her philosophy was simple: use only the finest natural ingredients and make every product with love as the first ingredient.

Long before "natural skincare" became a global trend, Jane was formulating products using pure essential oils, plant-based ingredients, and environmentally conscious practices. Her commitment to quality, sustainability, and wellness quickly distinguished Aroma Crystal Therapy from mass-produced personal care products.

Following a Healing Path

An article published in the Gulf Islands Driftwood in 2000 described Jane Janzen as someone deeply committed to a healing path, combining her knowledge of aromatherapy, natural wellness, and personal growth into a business that reflected her values and connection to nature. The article highlighted how Aroma Crystal Therapy was built not simply as a skincare company, but as an extension of a broader philosophy of healing and wellness.

This commitment to holistic wellness continues to guide the company today. Every product is still handcrafted in small batches on Salt Spring Island, maintaining the same dedication to quality and attention to detail that helped establish the brand more than 35 years ago.
