Lab Grown Grant Program
Empowering Women-Owned Businesses
About the Lab Grown Grant Fund
At The Aroma Labs, we know first-hand how challenging it can be to grow a small business, especially as women entrepreneurs. That’s why we created the Lab Grown Grant Fund—to provide funding and mentorship for women entrepreneurs in their early stages.
The Lab Grown Grant Fund supports innovative, women-owned businesses making a positive community impact. A portion of every Signature Scent Collection purchase funds financial assistance and mentorship. Each fragrance captures a city's unique energy, and every bottle you purchase helps shape the future of women entrepreneurs.

Every Signature Scent Collection Purchase Supports Small Businesses
When you purchase any bottle from our Signature Scent Collection, you’re directly helping women entrepreneurs thrive. Shop these exclusive fragrances, inspired by the energy of the cities we call home, and make a difference with every purchase! Whether you shop in-store or online, a portion of every sale from the Signature Scent Collection goes directly to the grant.
