About Amanda Chantal Bacon
For Amanda, sustainability is an evolving notion. “It’s important to meet the needs of your business with the goal of not compromising the future’s natural and social habitats ,” says Bacon, of this crucial element to both her personal practice and her business.
The creation of Moon Juice challenged Bacon to find opportunities within the beauty and wellness space to practice her values. In creating the brand, she’s dedicated to educating others while continuing to educate herself—whether it's committing to understanding bio-availability of her most popular products, or pursuing fair treatment of farmers and growers.
Moon Juice and its products are crafted with the intention of cultivating inner strength through vitamin-rich supplements to help people feel free, beautiful, and comfortable in their own skin. In creating her products, Amanda’s greatest inspiration is the Earth’s self-sustaining and regenerative properties, something she wants to emulate as she refreshes the beauty industry with depth and purpose. She sees her work as part of a journey – acknowledging that sustainability is about progress, not perfection.
