About Us

A local origin


The essential oils in the Borealis line from S•Sens Aroma™ are entirely manufactured and bottled by GBR / Groupe BoréaRessources (member of Groupe SiliCycle). The production site is located in the heart of the Quebec boreal forest, in Ferland-et-Boilleau, in Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean (Quebec).

With sustainable development as a priority, around two million hectares of surrounding forest are exploited, offering a great diversity of wild plant species. This proximity to the freshly harvested raw material allows a very precise selection and a high quality standard of the final product.

Company values include respect for people, fairness, ecology, cooperation and innovation. It aims to support the local economy while keeping respect for nature at the center of its priorities.
