My Story
I started Schön when I was 10 years old. As a pre-teen I have always LOVED anything pertaining to skincare and having a skincare routine. Being only 10, my mother refused to let me use many of the popular skincare brands, because many of them contained harsh ingredients and preservatives that I could not even pronounce. I decided to create my own skincare products using ingredients from the kitchen, and my mother's high quality essential oils. I began making body scrubs and body butters which were oil based and infused with essential oils. Before long I started exploring with face washes and lip balms, all using only natural ingredients from my home. My mother was my first tester and customer! My dad also started using my body scrubs, which made his face and skin noticeably smoother. Now, my natural oil based products are the only skincare products used in my home. I chose the name Schön (pronounced sh-u-n), which means beautiful in German, because my products make the skin look naturally beautiful.
My products are always tested by me, never on animals. I only use the highest quality oils and ingredients that are safe even for young preteen skin like mine.
Why Essential Oils?
I use essential oils that claim to promote skin health. Some dermatologist claim that cleansing with oils can help balance your skin's natural oil production (Olive oil, Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Avocado Oil, Sweet Almond oil, Grapeseed oil).
Which Essential Oils ?
My favorite essential oils for the skin are Lavender oil, which can help acne-prone skin, reduce the appearance of skin imperfections, and moisturize the skin. I also love Frankincense oil, which can help reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks and treat wounds. Frankincense oil has antioxidant properties and may be able to kill some types of bacteria and fungi. Myrrh oil is another go-to oil on my list, which has been known to fade unwanted blemishes on the skin, soothe itchy skin, and reduce symptoms of eczema. It also effectively cleanses and moisturizes skin. Rose Oil can be used to help balance moisture in the skin and promote a healthy even skin tone. Helichrysum oil is another powerful oil. Studies suggest that helichrysum oil can help with healing, reduce allergy symptoms, fight infections on the skin, and reduce inflammation. Yarrow Pom oil is known for its antimicrobial and astringent properties. Yarrow Pom can help treat wounds, reduce inflammation, and soothe the skin. Geranium oil helps maintain youthful skin and protect against harmful UVB radiation. It also helps promote hormone balance, and has the ability to soothe mental and physical symptoms of PMS. Peppermint oil can help improve a variety of skin problems. It can reduce acne, blackheads, greasy skin, ringworms, and even chicken pox.*
