OUR STORY & PHILOSOPHY
Born from a passion for stillness
HomAroma began as a personal journey toward calm — crafting small batches of botanical aroma blends that transform living spaces into sanctuaries of peace.

Artisan Craft & Pure Origins
Every extract is sourced directly from certified organic farms. We cold-extract and hand-blend in small batches to ensure each aromatic molecule remains intact and therapeutically potent.
Shop BotanicalsTHE JOURNEY SO FAR
A timeline.
Slow growth, careful formulation, and a stubborn refusal to launch anything we wouldn't use ourselves. The shape of the brand over twelve years.
PESTLE & MORTAR LAUNCHES.
Pestle & Mortar begins with Pure Hyaluronic Serum — one clear glass dropper bottle, one hero formula and one belief: skincare should be simple, effective and easy to use every day.
PURE HYALURONIC BECOMES A CULT FAVOURITE.
The serum gains momentum for its lightweight texture, instant hydration and monochromatic look — clean, modern and unmistakably Pestle & Mortar.
SOLD OUT ON QVC USA IN SEVEN MINUTES.
Pestle & Mortar becomes the first Irish skincare brand to appear on QVC USA and sells out in just seven minutes — a breakthrough moment that brings the brand to millions of homes across America.
IMAGE ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR.
Founder Sonia Deasy is named Entrepreneur of the Year at the IMAGE Businesswoman of the Year Awards, marking a defining moment of recognition for the brand and its founder.
A STANDOUT YEAR FOR IRISH BUSINESS.
Pestle & Mortar wins Overall Winner at the National Enterprise Awards, and Sonia Deasy is selected as an EY Entrepreneur Of The Year finalist in the Emerging Category.
THE COLLECTION EXPANDS.
The brand grows beyond one hero serum into a wider range of targeted solutions for hydration, glow, texture, barrier support and everyday skin health.
SIMPLE GETS STRONGER.
More targeted formulas. Better textures. Smarter routines. The same standard: every product has to earn its place.
ALWAYS MOVING. ALWAYS INNOVATING.
From Spot Dots to seven Korean-made products, including six face and lip masks, Pestle & Mortar continues to create smarter skincare for real life.
