Ms Mainguy, who studied architecture and worked as a teacher and architect, developed a true passion for aromatherapy in the 1980s. Back then, she read every book and took every course available. Her dedication was found. In 1988, Lucie and Pierre Mainguy, who passed away, start up Aliksir and begin exploring the aromatic potential of Quebec, one plant at the time, starting with conifers. Enthusiastic and communicative, she now dedicates herself to educating people to aromatherapy and to giving workshops and conferences to awaken new passions.
ORGANIC AND GENUINE
Respecting Nature, our Nature, is one of our core values. This is the reason why we, whenever possible, elect organic certified for importation, fair trade when possible.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
In all that we do, reducing our ecological footprint is a goal. Recycling, reducing waste, re-using, composting and exploiting residues are all ways to consume less in order to mitigate the effects of human activity on our one and only Planet.

All our products are full of the beneficial properties of medicinal and aromatic plants and free of the direct or cumulative toxicity of synthetical texturizers, preservatives, fragrances, and other damageable substances usually found in industrial cosmetics and household products.
SIMPLICITY
All our products carry the SIMPLEST list of ingredients possible.
