Northstar Aromatics

Northstar Aromatics As a Winemaker turned Aromatherapist my passion has always focused on aromatics. I encourage and teach only safe, ethical sourcing and use of essential oils.

I look forward to sharing my gift of hand poured and hand crafted alchemy with you. Koru Essential Oils is created out of the love of science and nature. I studied wine making in Washington State, earning a degree in Enology, Viticulture, and Fermentation Science. Built on a foundation in the wine industry and medical massage therapy, aromatherapy seemed to be a natural next step. The pure therapeutic essential oils are hand chosen from all over the world. I'm so excited to be working with my very own oils and know exactly what they are, what they are not, where they come from - dialed down to the latitude, longitude, soil type, harvest date and even the Brix! (Sugar measurement, or Brix, isn't just specific to wine - it's applied to essential oils as well.) It's just one of the many important variables that assist me in determining the aroma quality, chemical compounds, their concentrations, as well as purity! Most of my oils are wild grown or certified organic as well. I only bottle the highest quality oils and I run trial after trial to assure that everything that goes into Koru Essential Oils is of the highest quality. I even hand pour, hand bottle, and hand label them, typically upon order so that they remain fresh until you receive them! Think of a demanding aromatic wine that knocks your socks off and you (might) be prepared to experience Koru Essential Oils!

When you run a small business, you get to do something really special โ€”
you get to listenโ€ฆ and then actually create. ๐Ÿ’ซ

Over the past few months, I kept hearing the same requests come up again and again. Real needs. Real concerns. Real โ€œdo you have something for this?โ€ conversations.

So I went back to the blending table โ€” and these three oils were born:

โœจ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ก๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ซ ๐‘๐ž๐ฅ๐ข๐ž๐Ÿ โ€” deep, targeted muscle and joint support
Formulated to help soothe soreness, stiffness, and tension when your body needs real relief.

โœจ ๐…๐จ๐จ๐ญ ๐‡๐š๐ฏ๐ž๐ง โ€” soothing, hardworking care for tired, overworked feet
Created for long days, sore soles, and well-earned rest.

โœจ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐Ÿ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ โ€” calm, deep, and softly settling

Designed for evening routines, winding down, and easing into rest.
These were the three most requested oils, and when you run a small business, ๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘˜๐‘–๐‘›๐‘” ๐‘ฆ๐‘œ๐‘ข ๐‘ โ„Ž๐‘Ž๐‘™๐‘™ ๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘๐‘’๐‘–๐‘ฃ๐‘’ actually means something around here.

Each bottle is hand-poured to order in Detroit Lakes Minnesota using thoughtfully sourced essential oils โ€” made with intention, not trends.

If one of these feels like it was made just for youโ€ฆ it probably was. ๐Ÿค

Scent is personal. Your home is personal. What you put on your body is personal. You should get to experience a blend before investing in a larger size.

Thatโ€™s something big companies usually canโ€™t do โ€” but small, hand-poured businesses can. I get to slow down, make things in small batches, and help you find what truly feels right for you.

If youโ€™ve ever wondered
โœจ โ€œWhat does this one smell like?โ€
โœจ โ€œWhich blend would I like best?โ€

Samples are the perfect way to explore.

Sacred Incense is grounding, warm, and deeply calming โ€” a beautiful place to start.

Thank you for supporting small, intentional, Minnesota-made aromatherapy. It truly means everything.
