But what’s the story behind the name? It’s a beautiful ode to the natural world. Fat, in this context, represents the medium for external herbal medicine, absorbing the medicinal constituents of plants to nourish our skin. And the Moon, whose profound influence on life is intertwined with water—the foundation of all existence. Fat and the Moon captures the dance between water and fat, the joining of forces that nourish and nurture our bodies.
As a “Coven Crafted” brand, all operations of Fat and the Moon take place under one roof, at the ‘Cov’. Through small batch production, they ensure the highest quality products that evolve with the seasons. Inspired by our ancestors’ resourcefulness, Fat and the Moon adopts a philosophy of maximal minimalism. They embrace the brilliance of utilizing every part of the plant and animal, wasting nothing. This approach not only maximizes the potency of their potions but also reduces unnecessary waste, aligning with their commitment to sustainability.
When it comes to ingredients and packaging, Fat and the Moon continues to prioritize their Earth First ethos. Their ingredients are sourced from farmers, individuals, and businesses that share their values. In doing so, they honor the direct and profound bond between plants and farmers, infusing their products with the magic of this connection. Furthermore, they view packaging as an integral part of their products. Every packaging material is either recyclable, reusable, or compostable, minimizing their environmental impact.
In a world where plastic dominates, Fat and the Moon has taken a firm stance against it. They use reusable, recyclable containers and seek to minimize unnecessary packaging. Plastic-free shipping is a guarantee, as they opt for ethically-sourced materials that align with their sustainable principles.
Fat and the Moon’s commitment to healing, empowerment, and sustainability is commendable. Through their unique approach to self-care, they invite us to embrace the beauty of our bodies, the power of plants, and the importance of conscious consumerism.
