Our Story

                      

Welcome to Karsten & Co

We make all natural aromatherapy products, using locally sourced ingredients including, 100% pure plant-distilled essential oils, soft cotton and natural linen fabrics. 

Handcrafted with care in Victoria, Australia.

Kate’s story began when working in a busy flower shop in the heart of the city of Melbourne at the age of eighteen. It was there that the love of flowers and their fragrances began. At age twenty-one she was managing a quaint flower and gift shop at the Hilton Hotel in Melbourne Victoria.

After managing two flower shops over the next few years, aged twenty-five she opened her own flower shop with her sister Lisa. Inspired by all the lovely natural botanical aromas, her passion to create natural products blossomed. 

“I could never find a candle with a natural and therapeutic fragrance, “most candles are made with paraffin wax, which is obtained from petroleum, and fragrance oil which is manufactured in a lab”.

After two years of meticulous experimenting Kate has created all natural, aromatherapy candles, reed diffusers and custom blends of pure essential oils. 

Our natural eye pillows and Lupin pillows are handcrafted with care here at Karsten & Co Australia. 

Essential oils are 100% natural extractions from different parts of a plant, such as flowers, herbs, or roots. These oils are pure extractions that are obtained through the process of steam distillation or solve extractions and are not cut with a type of carrier oil. These 100% pure oils are “neat”, meaning they have not been processed, diluted or manipulated in any way with solvents or other additives.

All of our ingredients are sourced locally using the finest quality.
Vessels can be rinsed out with hot soapy water and reused as either a storage container or a beautiful vase for flowers or herbs.

Melbourne, Australia.
