Today, natural beauty products are becoming increasingly popular among people who seek a more ecologically responsible approach to apply cosmetics or maintain the health of their Skin and Hair. These solutions not only provide a chemical-free alternative, but can also be more effective than traditional applications. One such name is Blossom Kochhar Aroma Magic, a brand that has 'Earth to Bottle' 170 distinctive aromatherapy skin, hair, and wellness products which are sustainably mixing nature's plant extracts to bring natural healing from inside. From care for skin, love for hair to gentle caress for your heart and soul, the brand has carved out a reputable position in the fashion, lifestyle, and wellness industries.

In an exclusive interaction with Women Entrepreneur Magazine, Dr. Blossom Kochhar, Chairperson, Blossom Kochhar Aroma Magic walks us through her personal and professional life along with the unique traits of the company:

Tell us about your early educational and prior industry experience. What motivated you to foray into gaining expertise in aromatherapy?

I did my school and college in India before moving to the United States to study Western Aromatherapy and Chinese Aromatherapy. I also hold a double PhD in aromatherapy. Nature has always inspired me, and Ayurveda as a science has piqued my interest since I was a youngster. Despite having studied both Western and Chinese aromatherapy, I have always preferred and practised Indian aromatherapy.

What are the various roles & responsibilities that you shoulder at Blossom Kochhar Beauty Tell us about your challenges and How do you overcome them?

Blossom Kochhar Aroma Magic was founded in 1994 by me and my late husband, Col. V Kochhar. By incorporating a natural touch into all of our goods, we were able to carve ourselves a place in the business. As Chairperson, I lead the firm and have a substantial part in all decisions made on its behalf. I don't believe I had any difficulties when establishing the firm, or even afterwards. I have been incredibly fortunate by the support of my spouse, family, friends, and our organization's employees. As an Aromatherapy specialist, I primarily focus on the holistic approach with my products that help cure your mind, body, and spirit.

Tell us about the varied expertise that you possess in aromatherapy and holistic beauty. What is it that sets you apart from your competitors?

I have a Ph.D. in Aromatherapy and a Master's Degree in education. To achieve holistic life, I use a combination of Ayurveda and Indian Aromatherapy. Blossom Kochhar Aroma Magic, as a business, has always catered to the masses in the realm of beauty and wellbeing. We are a nature-inspired business, and our current focus is on promoting more organic products that benefit everyone. We make paraben-free, toxic-free goods that are free of artificial colours and smells.

What have been the most significant milestones that you have achieved so far in your professional journey? What is your guiding leadership philosophy?

The most crucial achievement is to establish a successful brand that has carved out a unique niche in the realm of beauty and wellbeing. My leadership philosophy is based on following my desires and passions. I adore everyone around me and like beautifying them. I design products that not only make people seem beautiful, but also make them feel confident, driven, and pumped up.

“With fresh ideas, samskruthi and her team always has something unique for you”

How do you keep yourself well aligned with the periodic evolutions occurring within your respective field of work?

Change is unavoidable in our lives. I like to keep myself abreast of what's going on in the world of beauty, wellness, hair, and cosmetics. I read about them online, listen to podcasts, participate in conversations and interviews with experts in the subject, and follow and create my own trends.

What is your advice be to young women and girls aspiring to become business leaders and entrepreneurs in the future?

My suggestion to them is to broaden their horizons. Consider your drive or passion, follow your heart, and be content with what you are doing. Before you focus on the financial rewards of your business, consider the impact it will have on others.
