Omno

You might have noticed its soothing scent at Raffles Hotel, or spotted its luxurious handwash at your favourite restaurant, and figured it was a Nordic brand. However, Omno, an anagram of ‘moon’, was founded in Singapore by Carmen Butt, whose research background bridges human physiology, pharmacology, and microbiology. The flagship store, located at New Bahru, is the best place to discover its range of cleansers, lotions and sprays, all crafted with Nordic Swan-certified ingredients. The Moonatic Hand & Body Cleanser, for instance, is a pH-balanced, sulphate-free gel cleanser crafted from a blend of petitgrain (from bitter orange trees), Mediterranean cypress oil, and evergreen sage. Its lightly scented mosquito repellent spray, made with lemongrass and cinnamon, contains the patented active IR3535, which effectively repels mosquitoes that transmit dengue, Zika, and malaria.

Omno recently unveiled a multi-sensorial installation and experience created in collaboration with LivingSeas Foundation. Through scent curation, responsive soundscapes, and interactive elements, visitors can experience the story of coral restoration.
