THE HERBAL CLEANSING GEL WITH BERGAMOT STORY

So many visitors to the moon haven cottage come to us to help them deal with problem skin. Acne both in puberty and adult onset are so very common and we see at least one case every day. The first thing we  tell our clients is "ditch the foaming facial wash!"

Now this may seem counter intuitive -let me explain. You see, many people mistakenly believe that oil is the enemy when dealing with breakout and unbalanced skin. Detergent based foaming facial washes are designed to strip away every last bit of natural oil and sebum from your skin. 

This leaves your skin squeaky clean, though tight and dehydrated.  Of course your skin reacts by producing more oil to replace what it is missing. You strip the oils away and the cycle continues. Moon Haven's Cleansing Gel has been carefully formulated to allow the skin to find its own natural balance, to leave just enough oil on the skin to avoid the stripping/replenishing cycle. Combined with our herbal moisturisers managing acne and unbalanced skin is an easy fix.

The beautifully light citrus oil blend we use in this wonderful  moisturiser contains deliciously decadent Bergamot essential oil with a  little lemongrass and a luxurious hint of Ylang Ylang. (We loved this  scent blend so much that the blend is available - we called it Inner Peace

At Moon Haven we use a lovely non-photoxic Bergamot essential oil  from Italy.  Bergamot is a delightful essential oil that has  anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties as well as being useful in  balancing oily skin.

BORN OF NECESSITY

Plagued by body pain, headaches, and skin issues from her autoimmune condition, our founder Leonie, refused to suffer in silence. When nothing worked, she turned to nature. Blending herbs and oils to create products that truly made a difference. Word spread, and Moon Haven was born.

INSPIRED BY NATURE

Nature knows best. At Moon Haven, we take our cues from her. We harness the power of wildcrafted plants, organic herbs, pure plant oils, clays, and seeds to create products that are not only effective but delight the senses and soothe the soul.

POWERED BY PASSION

We do what we do because of moonies like you. Your enthusiasm, support, and love for our products fuel our passion every day. We couldn’t do this without you, and we wouldn’t want to. Whether it’s answering your questions or creating products that truly make a difference. We’re here to help.

Best cleanser I've used!

I think I've previously done a review on this cleanser, but this is about the tenth time I've ordered it, which is a record for me. I will never swap cleansers again, unless Moonhaven stop making these little bottles of magic...and in that case, I'll be extremely sad. I've had cystic acne most of my adult life and I'm now 30. Since I started using Moonhaven products (it's been just over a year now), my skin has cleared up completely, it started to clear up dramatically after the first month of use. My pigmentation has almost gone and it's very rare that I get acne anymore. The moisturiser is rich and has helped with my scaring dramatically too. The problem I had with other cleaners was that they were too drying and I always liked cleaners that foam up with water, but of course then you get a really dry and tight feeling afterwards - this isn't the case at all with tha bergamot cleanser. I also use the Moonhaven toner too. All 3 have saved my skin and I'm so glad I miraculously stumbled upon Moonhavens store on the way to Margaret River. It's worth every cent.

Kind cleanser

I love this product, have used it for years. It leaves my sensitive skin clean but not stripped of essential oils. I also think it’s helped my meno-skin!

Perfect for sensitive, fussy skin!

I have really fussy, sensitive skin and was looking for something more natural to use. I was originally nervous to try because of how my skin is but am so glad I did! Perfect for my skin and now won't use anything else 💜

Only thing that works on my face!

I love this face cleanser so much! Stumbled upon Moon Haven on a family trip last year and having found another product work I just knew I had to try the skin care range. This cleanser is my go to now and I instantly face breakouts when I run out! It smells so fresh and makes my face feel so smooth. So many less pimples now. Thank you moon haven!

Bergamot Herbal Cleanser

Im obsessed. Im struggling with hormonal acne at the moment and this is perfect for me. Its so gentle and my skin feels incredibly clean and fresh afterwards. It is not drying at all, I still feel like there is moisture in my skin and it takes away redness for me too. The only thing I would have to say is, can you make it in a bigger bottle for people like me that are obsessed with it and go through it like crazy! :)
