Welcome to the May Maroma Newsletter
Dear Friends,
As we move through another vibrant season, I am delighted to welcome you to this month's newsletter.
May was filled with meaningful moments across the Maroma community. We celebrated mothers with our candle collection, explored the stories behind some of our most loved products, and continued sharing the ingredients, traditions and values that inspire everything we create. From the enduring popularity of Night Jasmine to the launch of our new Root to Ritual and Ingredient Insights series, we have enjoyed bringing you closer to the natural origins of our products and the craftsmanship behind them.
This month also gave us an opportunity to reflect on the principles that guide our work. World Fair Trade Day reminded us of the importance of ethical sourcing, environmental responsibility and supporting the people and communities who make our products possible. As a member of the World Fair Trade Organization, we remain committed to creating products that are as thoughtful as they are beautiful.
We were also encouraged by the wonderful feedback received about The Maroma Spa, whose atmosphere of wellbeing and restoration continues to touch visitors from near and far. The launch of the Maroma Spa Collection marks an exciting step in extending that experience beyond the spa and into everyday self-care rituals at home.
Looking ahead, we are excited to represent Maroma at the Vegan India Conference and continue sharing our vision of conscious, plant-based living with a wider audience.
Thank you, as always, for being part of the Maroma journey. Your support allows us to continue creating products rooted in nature, guided by sustainability, and crafted with care. Warm regards,
Laura Reddy CEO, Maroma

A Month of Light: Celebrating Mother's Day with Candles
May began with a celebration of mothers, gratitude and the quiet rituals that bring warmth into everyday life. From 7–11 May, Maroma marked Mother's Day with a special 20% discount on its handcrafted candle collection, inviting customers to share the gift of fragrance and light with the people who nurture, guide and inspire them. The campaign highlighted the role that mothers play in our lives, selflessly caring for others while creating moments of reflection, comfort and connection. The promotion served as a gentle reminder that sometimes the most meaningful gifts are those that create a warm atmosphere and lasting memories.
Night Jasmine: A Fragrance That Never Fades
Some fragrances capture a moment. Others become timeless. Throughout May, we revisited one of Maroma's most beloved creations: Night Jasmine. This elegant perfume oil continues to enchant customers with its rich floral character, inspired by jasmine blossoms that release their intoxicating fragrance after sunset. For many customers, Night Jasmine has become more than a perfume - it is a signature scent that evokes evenings in bloom-filled gardens, warm summer nights and cherished memories. Its enduring popularity is a testament to the beauty of simplicity and the power of natural fragrance.
Celebrating World Fair Trade Day
At Maroma, Fair Trade is not simply a certification. It is a guiding principle that shapes how we do business every day. As a proud member of the World Fair Trade Organization, Maroma joined organizations around the world in celebrating World Fair Trade Day in May. The occasion provided an opportunity to reflect on the importance of ethical sourcing, transparency, fair working conditions and environmental responsibility. Every Maroma product represents a network of growers, artisans, makers and communities whose wellbeing is central to our mission. By choosing Fair Trade, customers help support livelihoods, strengthen communities and encourage a more sustainable and equitable global economy.
A Restorative Experience at Maroma Spa
Few compliments are more meaningful than hearing how deeply a guest has been touched by their experience. During May, Maroma Spa received a glowing review from local travel writers Adam and @the.alist.guide following their visit to our wellness sanctuary in Pondicherry. They described their experience as peaceful, thoughtful and deeply restorative, highlighting both the calming atmosphere and the transformative sound healing session. Feedback such as this reinforces our commitment to creating spaces where wellness extends beyond treatments, offering moments of genuine connection, stillness and renewal.
Root to Ritual: The Story Behind Saffron Face Serum
Every ingredient has a story. In May, we launched our new "Root to Ritual" series with a closer look at one of our most cherished skincare products: Saffron Face Serum. Combining the revitalizing qualities of saffron with the soothing properties of water lily flower extract, the serum embodies Maroma's philosophy that effective skincare begins with nature. The new series explores the journey of ingredients from their natural origins to the daily self-care rituals they become part of, helping customers understand not only what is in their products, but why those ingredients matter.
Coconut Shampoo: Nature's Answer to Healthy Hair
Nature has long provided one of the most effective ingredients for hair care: coconut oil. During May, Maroma highlighted the benefits of its Coconut Shampoo, formulated with pure organic coconut oil and plant-based ingredients. Known for its ability to penetrate the hair shaft, coconut oil helps reduce protein loss, strengthen hair and improve resilience against breakage. The shampoo also helps restore moisture balance, leaving hair soft, smooth and manageable while supporting a healthy scalp through coconut oil's natural antibacterial and antifungal properties. Through ingredient-focused storytelling, customers learned more about the journey from locally sourced coconut oil to finished product, while many shared positive experiences of healthier, softer and more vibrant hair. At Maroma, traditional plant wisdom continues to inspire gentle and effective everyday care.
Maroma Heads to the Vegan India Conference 2026
We are delighted to be part of one of India's leading celebrations of conscious living. During May, Maroma was announced as an exhibitor at the 5th Vegan India Conference, held in Mumbai on 6–7 June 2026. As a long-standing advocate for cruelty-free and plant-based personal care, Maroma looks forward to sharing its products and values with visitors from across the country. The event provides an opportunity to connect with like-minded organizations and individuals who are helping shape a more compassionate and sustainable future.
Customizable Gift Sets: Create Your Dream Gift
A thoughtful gift tells a story. Throughout May, Maroma showcased its range of customizable gift sets, designed for weddings, corporate events, celebrations and personal occasions. Combining fragrance, self-care and beautiful presentation, these collections offer an alternative to mass-produced gifting. Each set can be tailored to reflect the recipient, the occasion and the sentiment behind the gift, transforming everyday products into memorable experiences.
Perfume Personalities: Winter Musk
What does your fragrance say about you? Our Perfume Personalities series continued with a spotlight on Winter Musk, a fragrance described as deep, grounded and quietly powerful. Customers were invited to explore how scent can reflect personality, mood and self-expression. The campaign sparked lively conversations about favourite fragrances and scent preferences, encouraging people to think of perfume not simply as an accessory, but as a personal signature.
Ingredient Insights: Discovering Turmeric
Nature's pharmacy offers remarkable ingredients, and turmeric is one of its brightest stars. The latest edition of our Ingredient Insights series explored the history and benefits of turmeric, a botanical prized for centuries in traditional skincare. Known for its brightening and soothing qualities, turmeric continues to inspire modern formulations that draw upon ancient wisdom. By exploring the origins and properties of key ingredients, the series helps customers better understand the natural intelligence behind Maroma's products.
Introducing the Maroma Spa Collection
A new chapter in wellness has arrived. May concluded with the official launch of the Maroma Spa Collection on the Maroma website. Inspired by Ayurvedic principles and the balancing of the doshas, the collection features face oils, face gels and specialized scrubs crafted from carefully selected natural ingredients. Rose, aloe vera, vetiver, bamboo charcoal, walnut shell, avocado oil and almond oil are just some of the botanicals that form the foundation of this range. Designed to transform daily routines into meaningful rituals of self-care, the collection brings the spirit of the Maroma Spa experience into the home and marks an exciting step forward in Maroma's wellness journey.
