Behind the Scenes at Moon Haven: A Family Legacy
At Moon Haven, we often hear our moonies say, “Your cottage feels like home,” or “I wish I could see how everything is made!” Well, today, we’re inviting you behind the scenes—beyond the shopfront and into the heart of what makes Moon Haven so special.
A Family Business, Through and Through
Moon Haven isn’t just a business; it’s a family legacy. From its humble beginnings in our kitchen in 2000 to the thriving cottage you know today, four generations of our family have played a part in shaping what Moon Haven has become.
Chris, Leonie’s son, grew up watching his parents build Moon Haven from the ground up. He now works alongside his wife, Laura, who manages the business with the same care and dedication that started it all. But it doesn’t stop there—each generation has contributed in their own way, whether through crafting, customer service, or behind-the-scenes support.
For us, Moon Haven is more than just making beautiful, natural products. It’s about sharing knowledge, passing down traditions, and creating something lasting—something that connects our family to yours.
Handmade with Heart
Every soap, balm, and essential oil blend we create carries a piece of this history. Each product is formulated with care, tested (and tested again), and handcrafted in small batches right here in our cottage. We don’t mass-produce—we pour, cut, and package each item with our own hands. It’s a labor of love, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Take our famous soap, for example. It took three years to perfect our signature formula—a bar that lathers luxuriously, cleanses gently, and lasts far longer than most handmade soaps. Every batch is carefully cured before it reaches your hands, ensuring that each bar is as nourishing and effective as the last.
More Than a Business—A Community
What makes Moon Haven truly special isn’t just the products—it’s the people. Our moonies, our team, and our family make this place feel like home. Whether you visit our cottage, place an order online, or reach out with a question, we see you as part of the Moon Haven family.
Our team takes pride in personally wrapping and packing each order, often adding little handwritten notes or a surprise sample—because we want you to feel the love and care that goes into everything we do.
The Future of Moon Haven
As Moon Haven continues to grow and evolve, one thing will never change: our commitment to creating natural, effective, and beautifully crafted products. With each generation, we bring fresh ideas while holding onto the values that started it all—helping people, sharing our passion, and making products that truly make a difference.
So next time you pick up a bar of our soap or open a jar of S John's Wort & Calendula Rub, know that you’re not just using a product—you’re holding a piece of our family’s journey, made with care, just for you.
