Our Story

Hello and welcome! I’m Kate Schieber, a wife, mother of three boys, and the founder of Root & Bloom Co. My journey into the world of natural skincare began nearly a decade ago when I was pregnant with my first son. As I prepared for motherhood, I became increasingly mindful of what I was putting on my skin—and what I would be using on my baby. This led me to create my own natural skincare products, free from chemicals and filled with the nourishing ingredients I could trust.

Over the years, my passion for natural healing has expanded beyond skincare. I’ve cultivated a love for gardening, growing my own herbs, and immersing myself in the art of herbalism. I craft everything from cleaning products and medicines to tinctures and healing teas, learning continuously about the amazing, God-given plants that support our well-being. What began as a personal mission to care for my family, using all natural- handmade products, has since blossomed into Root & Bloom Co.—a business rooted in the belief that nature, as God intended, provides us with the tools we need for holistic health—nurturing not just our skin, but our overall well-being.

At Root & Bloom Co., every product is made with intention, using only the purest, most natural ingredients. As a business rooted in Central Illinois, we are dedicated to supporting local communities. We partner with Illinois farmers and artisans to source high-quality, locally harvested ingredients like beeswax and tallow, and even our sustainable paper lip balm tubes come from an Illinois-based company.

We are dedicated to bringing you the same healing and nurturing care that my family and I have enjoyed over the years. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey toward natural wellness!
