The LorAnn Story

For over 60 years, LorAnn Oils has been a trusted source for premium essential oils and flavorings. Family-owned and operated since 1962, LorAnn’s roots go back even further—to the Grettenberger Drug and General Store, established in the late 1800s in Okemos, Michigan. It was there that pharmacist O.K. Grettenberger recognized a growing demand for high-quality essential oils and flavoring extracts.

In 1962, he founded LorAnn Oils and quickly established a national reputation for supplying premium natural essential oils, soluble flavors, and apothecary items in convenient sizes at competitive prices. The company began with a small selection of core essential oils, such as peppermint and clove, sold primarily to pharmacies. Over time, LorAnn expanded its offerings and now serves more than 30,000 customers in 51 countries across a wide range of industries.

Known for our concentrated, professional-strength flavorings and pure essential oils, the LorAnn product line has grown to include Super-Strength Flavors, Premium Vanillas, Bakery Emulsions, and the Flavor Fountain line for ice cream and frozen desserts. We also offer an extensive assortment of baking, candy making, spa, and soap crafting supplies for both professionals and hobbyists.

Today, LorAnn products are sold worldwide, and we remain committed to providing our customers with the hightest quality products and exceptional customer service—all at a fair price.
