Flagship OKEONI concept store opens up in Beerwah
By Sonia Isaacs
WITH over 30 years of diverse professional beauty experience, Donna Keogh is committed to ensuring excellence backed by extensive industry experience.
Building upon her decades of beauty industry research and knowledge, Donna came to realise the often detrimental effects of synthetic and paraben-laden skin care products that saturated the market.
This led her to delve deeper into the holistic benefit of enhancing skin health naturally, and develop her own bespoke skincare range, OKEONI, based on pure and naturally derived ingredients.
Speaking with GC&M News, Donna said the idea to develop the OKEONI range was originally derived from seeing the often adverse skin results from chemical compounds used on the skin during the light therapies she was teaching.
She said she realised the constitutions of many skincare products were so full of synthetic and paraben based filler ingredients that the results when using light laser on the skin were not optimal, and in some cases were causing greater damage than good.
“I decided to start using raw ingredients and experimented in comparing the differences on skins and quickly found out that chemical ingredients were actually aging and causing more damage than repairing when applying healing light,” explained Donna.
This realisation led Donna to rediscover what constituted as real skin care, and prompted her to develop her own range of naturally derived products.
She said through her research she also realised that outside of the beauty industry it was well known and scientifi cally documented that synthetics and chemical ingredients could disrupt the body’s endocrine system which could result in profoundly adverse effects.
“Along the way it became so clear that natural botanical earth derived plant extract are the only way we should be treating topicals with our skin.
We launched the range as a professional skincare line and continued to develop and add to the line-up as it grew,” said Donna.
OKEONI products now sit in approximately 85 professional clinics around Australia, and now Donna proudly brings her long-held passion for natural skin solutions to her flagship concept store OKEONI here in Beerwah.
The concept clinic offers numerous treatments from corrective treatments addressing pigmentation, vascular issues, and acne to state-of-the-art non invasive skin tightening using HIFU technology, each service aims to stimulate the skin’s natural rejuvenation processes.
Donna said all new clients started with a trademark facial, an indulgent yet high performance skin treatment.
“This allows us to showcase our products and return a result to the client that they literally cannot believe the transition of their skin after 70 mins,” she said.
