About Us

 

Lloyd & Judith owned and operated a Pharmacy in Calgary for over 25 years and when they sold the business in 1999 Judith urged Lloyd to not sell the Essential Oils that were a part of the inventory being sold.

Instead, they enrolled in Aromatherapy school and used the Essential Oils to create products that addressed common issues like Cold Sores, Muscle/ Joint Pain, Cold & Cough, Headache, Sleep, Stress, Hair Loss etc.

This was the birth of ‘ Essence of Cleopatra Aromatherapy ‘, which was launched in 2001.

The first Pharmacy that sold the products was Bragg Creek Pharmacy, in Bragg Creek, Alberta on a trial basis.

To the astonishment of both Lloyd and Judith, half of the products sold out in under 3 weeks. This encouraged them to start selling the products in Pharmacies in Calgary, then to the rest of Alberta and Saskatchewan in selected Pharmacies ( Pharmasave , IDA, Guardian, Pharmachoice, Remedy’s Rx etc ) and Food Stores ( Co-Ops ).

During the Pandemic business was slow . Judith & Lloyd took advantage during the slow period to create skincare products that addressed issues like aging skin, wrinkles, dark spots, acne etc ...‘ Cleopatra Luxury Skincare ‘ was born !

The skincare was very well received by clients, many of whom switched over from the brands that they were currently using to Cleopatra Luxury Skincare.

It was decided that the Skincare line would be sold in Spas, Online, at Special Events, and through Social Media.
