25 Profitable Aromatherapy Business Ideas To Start In 2023

I always wanted to work for myself. So I was always thinking about business ideas. Not everyone wants to work for themselves and not everyone is suited to the lifestyle, so if you have the dream, make sure you pursue it!

My business started when I was working as a cook at a local reception venue. A bride wanted some local honey wedding favors, which I provided. Doing this made me find a jar supplier, register my home kitchen as a food premise, prepare an invoice, etc.

From here, I began selling honey to the public and then I experimented with other ideas (making jam, personalized wedding favors, etc) before going into skincare. I had quite a few failures in this period!

At a very young age, I realize my mom had to work three jobs to barely make a living for me and my brother. Since then, I decided I was going to be my own boss and I started my very first company at age 28. I started doing janitorial services using only the cleaning products I had under my sink. That put me on the path with the person who gave me my next opportunity to start another business. This business was repairing apartments. This was a skill I did not know but I learned to do well quickly. This is the foundation that taught me that I can learn and do anything to accomplish my goals.

Life has shown me that you can start right where you are and with what you have, with no money or support. You can always do it if you have the courage.

Many years ago, after my husband was diagnosed with cancer, a passion ignited in me for natural ways of healing our bodies. I discovered that humans have an endocannabinoid system (ECS), a group of receptors in the brain and throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems. CBD interacts with CB1 and CB2 receptors that strengthen the immune system naturally. Quality CBD is an extremely effective natural alternative to align your health.

I’m Marge Clark, and I started Nature’s Gift Aromatherapy back in the early ’90s, rather by accident. A hobby developed into a passion and somehow became a business.

In the past I had considered retiring and just “divesting myself of the assets”, but then we will get emails from clients saying how this product eased a stubborn case of shingles, or that product helped with someone’s PTSD, and how can I just walk away? Some of our clients have been with us for over 25 years. They trust us and count on us. You can not put a price tag on that kind of loyalty.

Hello guys, my name is Gary Oberoi and I founded ZZ Day Spa 3.5 years ago. The goal was to make it the most customer-centric day spa in the world.

Our goal was to create a place for customers to not only come and receive a “service” but enjoy an “unforgettable experience.” To that end, we focused all of our efforts.

Monique Little is the CEO & Founder of You Go Natural, a manufacturer of pre-tied African headwraps intended to provide a protective styling hack. It all started in 2016 in her mom's living room with a sewing machine.

The company designs satin-lined products such as head wraps, t-shirts, turbans, headbands, and related collections that are made of different styles, fabrics, and colors, enabling users to keep the edges protected and encourage healthy hair in the comfort of home or while on the go.

The platform has grown into a thriving business with an 8,000-square-foot production facility in East Dallas. In their manufacturing facility in Old East Dallas a staff of around 30 people produces and ships headwraps. The factory produces around 11,000 headwraps every month.

The founder would employ seamstresses on Craigslist, buy and cut fabric, and distribute those bundles to needleworkers across the city when orders got too much for her to manage alone.

Monique has collaborated with the City of Dallas’ Workforce Development department to develop an apprenticeship program to retain production in the neighborhood. Approximately half of the sewing operators at You Go Natural are in the apprenticeship program.

In the beginning, she sold about $100,000 worth of the satin-lined, pre-tied wraps she designed to protect kinky and curly hair. After opening a production facility, she increased revenue to $2.2 million in 2020. Today, You Go Natural reports about 50,000 customers and anticipates quintupling revenue by the end of the year.

Key Takeaways

• Monique’s launched a jewelry store on Shopify while in college.
• She designed satin-lined hair products for personal use and realized that people were interested in them, so she pivoted to hair products.
• She ended up upselling the hair products to others.
• Six months after launch, her business made more than her day job.
• She quit her job in 2016 to focus on growing her business.
• Monique used Instagram to grow r community
• For the first 4 months, she worked alone and hired casuals until a couple of years when the business became profitable.
