Brand overview

SHIVAUN Skincare is a holistic natural skincare brand that was founded in 2021. Founder Siobhán is passionate about a holistic approach to well-being. After working more than two decades in the corporate world, Siobhán created her first skincare range and is currently pursuing qualifications in reflexology and holistic therapies. SHIVAUN Skincare’s philosophy is that mind, body and soul are interconnected, and all deserve care and attention. The beautiful formulations are designed to nourish your skin and enhance your well-being. The facial and body oils have been formulated with high-performing oils that have a synergistic effect on the skin including maintaining a healthy skin barrier and providing antioxidant benefits. In addition, the range’s body oils have been formulated with essential oil blends that are aligned to Chakras which are non-physical energy centres within the body.

Before she enrolled with Formula Botanica, Siobhán had very little formulation experience. She has always loved being creative and had made a few attempts at making some balms but without much success. Her initial goal was to make natural skincare for herself as she has sensitive skin. Enrolling with Formula Botanica opened up a whole new world for Siobhán. As soon as she completed the Diploma in Organic Skincare Formulation, she eagerly signed up for the International Organic Skincare Entrepreneur Program.

She has loved every aspect of her natural skincare formulation journey from learning about the amazing natural ingredients to visualising her brand. Formula Botanica has given her the knowledge and skills to follow through on creating SHIVAUN. The beauty of this journey is that Siobhán is still learning. She knows this is a lifelong passion for her. She has also learned so much from Formula Botanica’s community and is so grateful to those members who share their knowledge so generously inspiring others.
