Organic and natural cosmetics

The Foundation and Creation of Solaroma

Solaroma lies in the heart of Cathar Country located in the South of France on a very sacred place called Domaine de Castillou.

Domaine de Castillou - Luc sur Aude

It was once owned by the Archbishop of Alet Les Bains where they grew sacred medicinal plants. At this time Solaroma continues on this path of growing organic medicinal plants such as Rosemary, Thyme, Sage, Lavender and Roses as some of their organic ingredients used in their natural and organic cosmetic formulations.

These formulations were developed by the well renowned alchemist and author Fabrice Bardeau who was one of the first people to develop natural cosmetics based on using essential oils. He founded Solaroma in 1975. Fabrice retired in 2003 at which time Lorrie Hargis became the new director. Lorrie’s background as registered Aromatherapist, developer and consultant of Aromatherapy products and author of “Common Scents a Practical Guide to Aromatherapy,” has allowed her to incorporate these modalities into Solaroma’s philosophy and new product development.
