Getting Ready for the New School Year—Naturally!

As summer winds down, it's not just pencils and backpacks that need prepping—skincare matters too! At MION, we believe that school year success starts with feeling your best. That’s why our Back-to-School Collection focuses on clean, safe, and nourishing essentials that students and parents will both love. From hand sanitizer that's gentle yet effective to calming roller blends for focus, here’s your ultimate toolkit to gear up for the school year ahead.

Clean Hands, Calmer Minds

Natural Hand Sanitizer – Made with 60% high-quality alcohol and infused with soothing aloe vera and glycerin, this sanitizer effectively kills germs without leaving hands dry or sticky. A TSA-friendly 2 oz fits right in backpacks or lunchboxes, while the 8 oz is perfect for at-home refills

Keeping hands clean is a school-day must—yet dryness can turn a smart habit into a skin irritation. Our formula keeps hands healthy and hydrated, so even frequent use won’t throw your skin off balance.

Lips That Smile Through Recess

Lip Balm – Cocoa & Mango Butter – Made with rich, hydrating cocoa and mango butters, this balm is your defense against wind, early-morning chill, and midday sun. Available in playful flavors like Orange, Lavender, Peppermint, Cinnamon & Orange, Rose Blossom, and Citrus Blossom

Sweet, soothing, and protective—because focusing in class shouldn't involve lip irritation.

Smart Morning Routine Breakdown

Here’s how parents and students can weave these products into a morning lineup:

• Before school: Apply hand sanitizer, swipe on lip balm, and roll your preferred essential oil blend for a focused boost.

• Between classes: Keep hands smooth and soft—add hand balm after bathroom breaks or after recess.

• After school: Use hand sanitizer again, reapply lip balm, and carry a roller for after-school calm or energy.
