Gentle by Nature, Honest by Heart: Our Ingredients Story From our Moon Haven family to yours, every soap bar we create comes from a place of genuine care. For more than 25 years, we have handcrafted our products in small, careful batches right here in Cowaramup. You, our Moonie community, inspire us to go the extra mile. We show this by choosing every ingredient thoughtfully and always being clear about what we leave out. We know you are careful about what you put on your skin. That is why our approach is transparent, nurturing, and based on sound science. "Formulated without the nasties" is our promise. That is how we provide gentle, effective skincare you can trust. Why We Leave Out 'The Nasties' Let us talk about ingredients. There are no sulfates or parabens in Moon Haven soap. The reason is simple. Sulfates can take away your skin's natural oils and may cause irritation, especially for sensitive skin. Parabens are used to preserve many products, but we leave them out to help avoid sensitivities and keep our promise of gentle, micro-batch care. Leaving out these harsh chemicals helps protect your skin's natural balance. Every bar is made in small batches and uses only high-quality ingredients designed for comfort and effectiveness. This is how we give every Moonie a cleansing routine you can feel good about. What's In Our Soap • Natural plant oils • Beneficial botanicals • Pure, quality essential oils • Handcrafted care in micro batches • Ingredients chosen for gentle, effective cleansing What's Never Included • Sulfates • Parabens • Harsh synthetic detergents • Unnecessary fillers Our Promise in Every Bar Every ingredient has a purpose. We believe less is more. You get honest, nurturing soap without compromise. Some of our most-loved soaps show this philosophy beautifully. Each one is a piece of our Moon Haven commitment to simple, natural care in every small batch. It matters not just what we leave out, but also the warmth and intention we put in. From our family to yours, we invite you to feel the comfort that comes from honest, gentle skincare. ~ The Moonhaven Family Gentle Soaps You'll Love This article was written by Moon Haven’s aromatherapist and founder Leonie Gully and as such represents her personal opinion on the given subject.
