Aroxel invented the patent-pending ScentClip device, which takes the form of an [aromatherapy clip](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aromatherapy-rollerballs) to transform wearing a face mask into a pleasant experience. Originally, ScentClip was devised for medical professionals and recovering patients by anesthesiologist Dr. Mark Pizzini but now anyone who wears a mask regularly can benefit from the design of the device. The hypoallergenic, non-toxic [personal aromatherapy device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wellbeing-pod-mini) is made from recyclable plastic and it can be attached to virtually any face covering. ScentClip's fragrance comes from natural essences and helps to encourage people to feel calm.
