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 therape

utic 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!

Some of you have been ordering the same laundry oils from me for years now.

And honestly? That never stops feeling surreal.

Thereโ€™s something deeply meaningful about knowing a scent became part of your homeโ€ฆ your routinesโ€ฆ your clean sheets after a long dayโ€ฆ your cozy Minnesota weekends.

Buffalo Plaid. Staycation. Winter Nights. Up North. Boundary Waters. Cotton Candy Snowday.

These arenโ€™t just bottles to me. I know how many of you wait for your favorites to come back in stock or immediately reorder before you run out. That kind of trust means everything when youโ€™re a small hand-poured business.

Thank you for letting Northstar Aromatics become part of your everyday rituals. ๐Ÿ’›

Fresh bottles are being poured on the daily.

Thereโ€™s something really special about seeing a name come through again.

Not because itโ€™s โ€œanother orderโ€โ€ฆ but because itโ€™s ๐‘ฆ๐‘œ๐‘ข choosing to come back.

In a world of quick clicks and big box everything, that kind of loyalty means more than I can put into words. Youโ€™re not a number here. Youโ€™re not part of an assembly line. Every bottle is still hand poured, labeled, and sent out with intention right here in Minnesota.

These moments never get old for me. Truly.

Thank you for trusting what I create. Thank you for coming back. And thank you for supporting a small business that puts care into every single order.

If youโ€™ve been thinking about restocking a favorite or trying something new, Iโ€™m hereโ€ฆ pouring fresh just for you ๐Ÿ’›

Thereโ€™s a certain kind of stillness that only shows up after dark.

When the house goes quietโ€ฆ
When the air feels heavierโ€ฆ
When your thoughts get a little deeper.

Sleepy Hollow was created for that space.

Shadowy. Grounding. Intuitive.

A blend for slowing down, turning inward, and sitting with whatโ€™s realโ€ฆ without rushing past it.

Roll it on. Dim the lights. Let the night do what it does.

Thereโ€™s a reason people have talked about full moons for centuriesโ€ฆ and itโ€™s not just folklore.

Historically, the full moon was a ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ
Farmers harvested later

And then thereโ€™s the human side of itโ€ฆ

Sleep can feel lighter
Energy can feel a little higher or a little off
Even wildlife shiftsโ€ฆ more movement, more sound, more life after dark

Here in Minnesota, you feel it even more

The lake reflecting that light
The stillness of the trees
That quiet, almost electric feeling in the air

Itโ€™s subtleโ€ฆ but itโ€™s there ๐Ÿค

Some people lean into it
Some people ignore it

But either wayโ€ฆ itโ€™s been part of life for a very long time

If youโ€™re out tonight, take a second to step outside and look up ๐Ÿ’ซ

Most people think they know tea treeโ€ฆ but theyโ€™ve only smelled the harsh version ๐ŸŒฟ

A true tea tree (Melaleuca) should feel clean, crisp, and clarifyingโ€ฆ not overwhelming.

Itโ€™s one of those oils that quietly does a lot
โ€“ skin support
โ€“ scalp care
โ€“ freshening your space
โ€“ helping things feel clear again

But more than anythingโ€ฆ itโ€™s a reset.

Like opening the windows after a long Minnesota winter
Like a deep breath in a pine-filled forest

Simple. Effective. Easy to come back to ๐Ÿค

Thereโ€™s a reason tea tree has stood the test of timeโ€ฆ and itโ€™s not because of trends.

Itโ€™s one of those oils that feels like a reset button.

Crisp. Clean. Direct.
The kind of aroma that clears the airโ€ฆ and your head at the same time.

Traditionally used for:
โœ”๏ธ Skin support
โœ”๏ธ Scalp care
โœ”๏ธ Seasonal defense
โœ”๏ธ Freshening spaces naturally

But beyond what it doesโ€ฆ itโ€™s how it feels.

Like opening the windows after a long winter.
Like a deep breath in a pine-filled Minnesota forest.
Like things are moving again.

This is one I reach for when I want things to feel clear, simple, and back in flow ๐Ÿค

Not in a big, obvious way.

Just that quiet feeling of being a little off, a little stuck, a little heavier than usual.

Iโ€™ve been noticing it a lot latelyโ€ฆ in myself and in conversations with others.

That in-between space where things are shifting, but not quite settled yet.
Thatโ€™s exactly where ๐”๐๐’๐“๐”๐‚๐Š came from.

Not to fix anything.
Just to gently support:
โ€ข letting go of what feels heavy
โ€ข finding a little movement again
โ€ข coming back to center

There are some really special parts of running a small businessโ€ฆ and one of them is getting to work with other incredible small businesses.

Monique at Revive in Perham is one of those people.

She is not only an amazing and talented hairdresser, but someone who truly cares about what she offers her clients. Iโ€™m so grateful to have Northstar Aromatics in her space.

Everything you see here is hand poured and hand bottled by me, in small batches, with a lot of care and intention behind it. Thatโ€™s something Iโ€™m really proud to be able to bring into other local businesses.

Wholesale for me isnโ€™t about volumeโ€ฆ itโ€™s about alignment.

Low minimums, easy restocks, and supporting each other in a way that actually feels good.

If youโ€™re local to Perham and looking for a great stylist, Iโ€™m happy to connect you with Monique. Just send me a message.

And if youโ€™re a small business owner, or know one that might be a good fit, feel free to reach out. I always love starting those conversations.

Thatโ€™s exactly where ๐”๐๐’๐“๐”๐‚๐Š came from.
