Since the dawn of civilisation, humans have blended oils from aromatic plants as a form of self-care - to improve our health, focus our minds, and bring emotional balance. Their therapeutic benefits helped me, like many of you, find the harmony to get through some of the toughest struggles of my life. But in those hard times, I also found release in the creativity of learning how to blend oils. The beauty of balancing oils and creating inspiring blends that support particular moments, occasions emotions or moods, for me mirrors the daily balancing act of modern life. Finding the right combinations of love, work, fun, family, self care and good health and blending them together in a daily dose works beautifully or more easily some days and as we all know, is a little harder on other days. These are the days when a bit of extra support comes in handy. 

Founded in 2018 by Horticulturalist and self-taught perfumer Nina Hargrave, Serene Body Health™ is a beauty, wellness, and lifestyle brand. Our mission is to encourage daily practices and rituals of self-care, balanced with modern life through the power of scent.

Nina’s journey into perfumery began in nature. With a background in horticulture, she developed a deep fascination with plants and their ability to support health and wellbeing through herbalism and aromatherapy.

“I started crafting oil-based aromatherapy scents during a period of grief. The fragrances were designed to support mindfulness, lower cortisol levels, and promote deep breathing,” Nina explains.

Over time, she realized that conventional perfumes often contain harmful chemicals that can affect hormonal health. This insight inspired Nina to create a range of natural products, including Eau de parfums and scented magnesium body oils, designed to be both luxurious and health-conscious.

“Our philosophy is self-care and mindfulness backed by neuroscience. We create space and time for ourselves through thoughtful, sustainable, and healthy products that support whole-body health.”

Love, Nina xx
