MoonDance Botanicals

They have amazing natural products that have greatly improved my skin. They offer discounts for items that you get refilled or containers you bring in to recycle, their space is cute and they have a small parking lot that makes parking in the neighborhood super easy. I’ve also been to one of their spa parties, and it was fun and informative. I love this place!

Truly a gem! I was in the area and just wanted to kill sometimes so I looked up several spots and Unilocal led me here. I would say it was totally a surprise. Never thought I would spend money on skincare products that are not sold in the mall with fancy packaging. Don’t want to sound like a snob but am not a DIY girl and handmade skincare does not sound appealing to me. But I’m So glad I found this store. I ended up buying the Orange blossom spray and a chocolate rose face mask. LOVE the smell of both. I’ve been using the spray everyday and putting the mask on a weekly basis. Definitely go back to try some other stuff and take advantage of their recycling bottle discount!

I ventured in because it’s next to my favorite coffee shop. I’m beyond pleased with my purchases. Crafted on site, these products smell heavenly and work well! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I’ll be back!

This shop is full of magic! Not only do many of their products contain sparkles, but the products crafted here smell fabulous! I would definitely reccomend shopping here for face products or hand soap. There is great customer service and the «shop girls» are always friendly and helpful. Moondance Botanicals is a beautiful and local business that I am always happy to support.

I moved into the neighborhood recently and was looking for bath bombs. I usually purchase them at Lush but was interested in trying something new and preferably local. MoonDance Botanicals fit the bill. The shop is intimate with a good selection of bath products. The staff was helpful and made recommendations based on my preferences. I ended up leaving with «coffee buzz sugar scrub», «rosebud mineral milk bath», and a face mask I can’t remember the name of lol. But I love it all! FYI, if you bring in the containers to refill they give you a discount.

I stopped into MoonDance on a whim, and I’m really glad that I did! I browsed a lot of different items that looked awesome. I definitely found some items that I’m going to be coming back for. Mainly for their twist on burning incense. I can’t wait to try it for myself.
I ended up purchasing a fresh face mask. There were two different choices and I explained to the woman at the front desk about my skin. She recommended the strawberry mask, and that’s the one I decided to take home. I paid $ 4 for an amount in which I thought wasn’t very much, but when I applied it for the first time it was more than enough. The woman told me I should be able to get about four masks worth out of it and after seeing how much I have left, I’ll have enough for at least two more! It smells delicious and good enough to lick right off your face. I’m glad I tried it out and I will be back to try the others!
Stop in and just browse the shop. It’s very unique and trendy. They have awesome jewelry up at the counter that I had never even seen before. You won’t regret going inside and seeing what they have to offer. Especially if you’re into these kinds of shops!

Like almost everyone, I discovered this place through a spa party. They are such a great, fun, inexpensive group activity!
But now I’m completely hooked on their products. Not only do I think they work well on my super finicky and sensitive skin, I just feel good about the choices I’ve made. No scary ingredients, locally made, smell amazing. I’ve been using them almost exclusively for several weeks and every morning and night I’m like yay, time for my face routine!
One small con: it’s a bit hard to browse. They do a great job of explaining all the products and their benefits in the spa parties, but the products themselves are labeled very simply. So if you don’t go in knowing what you want, you might not have the easiest time picking out what will work best for you.

THIS PLACE IS PURE MAGIC!
I was looking for a pampering and low key way to celebrate my birthday with my girlfriends. After finding that most spas in the area are full of naked old people, we were looking for an alternative. Thankfully my friend recommended this place and it was better than I could’ve imagined!
We had a spa party and did the facials. Neko was the person who taught us all about the different products, and she was a delight. We had fun, we laughed, we shared, we gabbed, we drew oracle cards, we took silly pictures, and best of all, we learned how to take good care of our skin without nasty chemicals! I’d never had a facial before and my face never felt better.
We had suuuuch a great time drinking champagne, eating chocolate and delicious crackers with cheese. Afterwards, we were still floating and all blissed out, and we got 20% off of the merch! Fantastic deal. I can’t wait to come back for the next event!

I’ve been to a few spa parties here over the last few years. It is always a great time to relax and enjoy some girl time! Each time I’ve been to a spa party, the host does an excellent job of making sure we have a great experience. The spa party is $ 15 per person. They serve wine, spritzers, and light appetizers throughout the event. At the end of the spa party, you can wander the cute little shop and get 20% off all of the products! I do really like all of the products they serve, as well. It is just a great experience to try new products and a nice way to relax for a few hours.

My ultimate indulgence. My girlfriends and I love this place and do weekly facials. It doesn’t get any better!

I love this place! Not only does it smell delicious, there is magic here given to us by mother nature and weaved together by wonderful people who really understand herbology. My first impression was that it was just a foo-​foo pretty soaps and lotions kind of place, which i thought was great on it’s own. Then I took their herb-​craft class and their honey/​bee class and I am a changed person. We made a healing salve in class that healed my daughter’s chronic chapped lips in 24 hours. This is after about two months of BLEEDING, cracked dry lips on which I tried everything. I put this stuff on her when I got home, by morning all the dead skin was peeling off and by that evening they were beautiful! We learned how to make tinctures, infusions, syrups, anointing oil, spray and the salve. We learned so much that now I want to never stop learning because there is so much more to it. I will be taking more classes there and will be a customer for life. They sell organic herbs in bulk and make everything there at the shop by hand. They can custom make things for you depending on what you need in your life. They have tons more to offer so check out their website. And if all you want is gorgeous soaps and lotions, theirs are definitely the best.

I had such a lovely experience here! I am very pleased with my purchase. Such a lovely little place — very knowledgeable and friendly staff. I was so happy to have all my questions answered, and my own understandings about certain herbs and their purpose reiterated. The prices are reasonable and they offer refills for items such as tinctures at 40% off. I would definitely recommend Moon Dance to anyone interested in herbal therapy. Super excited to continue using the amazing products they helped me purchase!

I was introduced to this place by the girls at Fancy Tiger Crafts. I really like this place. The products are very nice. They refill your products at a 40% discount.
Try the Fairy Mist spray.

Great tea selection and friendly staff. I sought this store out after dinner at a local restaurant which served tea from here. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Although the store did not stock the blend of tea I sought out at the time, an employee willing shared the recipe for the blend with me. I will buy from this store again.

I can’t stay away from this store. I especially love their lemongrass scrub for its refreshing, moisturizing, and exfoliating qualities. It’s natural, refillable, and perfect for our climate. They often have small sample sizes you can try to see if you like something before making a larger purchase. These small sizes are also great for gifts. They also have some fun accessories (earrings, necklaces, bracelets, fairies, etc) that are also fun purchases and could be paired with their products for a nice gift bag. They gift wrap! My daughter loves the «fairy dust» bath salts that smell like lavender. The staff here is super friendly and helpful, what you would expect in such a zen-​like space. A perfect early evening might be a stop off at MoonDance, followed by dinner at Table 6 or Fuition.

Stopped by here after a lovely brunch at Table 6, which is right next door.
I don’t know much about the benefits of herbal-​based skin care products, yet walked out of here with nearly $ 30some worth of products: pomegranate sun screen, bar soap, soybean heating pad. I didn’t need anything, these were all impulse buys! The shop is so cute, though, it will do that to you.
I asked the owner about her homemade face masks in chocolate and rose– there wasn’t much left so she gave me both (about a mask’s worth) of each for free. Very nice!
Shop owner is very knowledgeable. And even if you aren’t into the explanations regarding the products, everything smells amazing and is unique to this shop. Love it!

The owner and head herbalist, Tonja, is one of the most wonderful people I’ve ever met. She’s soulful, kind, real, and so awesomely present. And, her product is absolutely phenomenal… There are teas, tonics, soaps, lotions, oils, sachets, etc… and, all at reasonable prices.
One of my college courses required that I observe a Complementary and Alternative Medicine practitioner of my choosing and Tonja willingly obliged. And, may I just say that Moondance Botanicals is exactly the kind of place that a woman like me (urbanesque, greeny, interested in all things holistic) thrives.
The location is ideal: 6^th and Corona.
The product is undeniably fabulous: organic, delectable, feminine, and made with love.
Holistically speaking: I can’t tell you the last time I felt so «whole» and at peace with myself. I left her shop feeling a littler lighter in step, a tad softer in my approach and much more graceful. Moondance lives by the Wise Woman philosophy, (any budding herbalist will appreciate this approach), and she’s extending her botanical line to include medicinal tinctures.
So, just do it… venture in and experience what Moondance Botanicals offers and encompasses.
You won’t regret it.

Okay, I wear a lot of dresses, but other than that I’m not super girlie. I mean I wash my face with bar soap, the kind of soap the commercials show leaving those streaks on your shower door and ask what you think it does to your body. Well, it’s been doing my body just fine for decades so I’m just going to stick with it, thanks TV. But, I can rarely pass up the chance to hang out with Tara B so when she put together the spa party I said I was in.
There was 11 of us in the room. I’d recommend not having more than 8 because we crowded that room right up. But, since we were all so friendly it didn’t really matter. You start off the evening with champagne or red wine (I’ll give you one guess which I chose), chocolate and cheese. After they’ve loosened you up with all of these goodies you move on to the facial part.
There are lots of steps that I’m bad at remembering, but you get to apply masks made of chocolate or rose or other lovely concoctions. You get to steam your face over a large bowl of some sort of herb mixture until it becomes too hot under the towel or you’re afraid of spilling all your secrets because it feels so safe. You get to moisturize and cleanse and so on and so on. Most people had soft, glowing skin. Even when I saw David S the next day he looked like a new man. My skin, used to not-​so-​nice ingredients became kind of red and blotchy. Stupid, sensitive skin. But, the experience was awesome and I bought some nice pillow spray that is supposed to make you have good dreams as well as some catnip that Littlest is mad about. She’s been high all week. All in all, it’s a lovely store and well worth the spa experience if you enjoy those sorts of things.

I had no idea what to write here, so I asked for some fairy guidance. Here goes:
I am a man. If you’ve taken biology, you know that men have skin, too. We may lack other vital things: the ability to put clothes in the hamper, fashion sense, shoes that don’t smell, etc. But we make up for it. How else would you get the pickle jar open? Or for that matter, get it down from the top shelf of the cupboard? Or, when lost, who pushes on, WITHOUT WUSSING OUT AND GETTING DIRECTIONS, I might add, to find our destination just 6 hours late? Men. And all that goodness is covered up with skin. Rough, tough, dirty, unexfoliated, brimming with toxins SKIN… that may smell like something, but it sure ain’t roses.
Well, Moondance Botanicals is just the place to change all of that.
When we first arrived, we were served our choice of champagne, red wine, juice of some sort, and water. Also, to nibble on, dark chocolate with lavender and blueberries, and some Gouda with walnuts, and honey drizzled over the top.
We then rubbed some kind of oil, (lavender, I think?) on our wrists, and then meditated with our heads down, smelling the oils for a couple of minutes. I, for one, could feel the fairies just putting the beat down on my stress. Take that, anxiety, take that, job insecurity, and take THAT, societal gender stereotypes! Vanquished, all. We concentrated on completing the phrase «I am» and had to finish it with one word. Others said «I am happy», «I am relaxed» «I am excited», etc. and though I have been walking around singing «I am beautiful» ever since, my phrase was «I am traveling». (my FIRST thought was actually «I am so happy I am in a room with so many beautiful women all to myself, eat that you mofos that laughed at me for getting a facial» but I it had to be one word.)
We then picked our fairy card, and pondered it’s meaning for a moment, and then read the fairy book which offered further fairy guidance. Mine was «look within yourself», and my fairy guidance was to forget all the outward affirmations that I am a good person, to set aside all the things I do to take the place of love (such as new clothes, big TVs, advanced degrees, etc.) and to look within, and to see that I am truly a beautiful human being, worthy of love, respect, and affection.
Next step, exfoliation, with Quaker oats. OK, not Quaker oats, but it had an oatmeal smell and texture, I mixed with with water and I rubbed it all over my face. Though I looked like a toddler at breakfast, my skin was already starting to feel softer and revitalized.
We then washed our faces, most washed their own, but my good good friends Jenn and Maha took care of me and helped me… which also illustrated that I AM worthy of care and affection. We applied some more kind of oil, to soften and moisten the skin a bit. I wish I could remember it was, but this was like learning a new language here, the language of women… which is like learning a mix of Russian, Arabic, and Mandarin. Ask them what it was, it just felt good, that’s all I know.
Then, the secret cult portion of the evening. we steamed open our pores with hot water in those bowls, towels over our heads until we couldn’t stand it any more, or until everyone said «Dave, you can stop now». Yeah, baby, I did it the longest! What do I win?
Now, the MASK! Like Spiderman? No, MASQUE, Dave. Ahhh, OK. We had our choice of Dark Chocolate (antioxidant), Clay (best for your oily T zone, wherever that is. Red zone, I can find) and Red Rose, which, I think, pulls out toxins and moisturizes. Since rubbing chocolate was suddenly socially acceptable, that was my starting point. Not in your eyes, they said. OK. not in your mouth. WHAT?! (I snuck a little, not bad!). They said I could mix them any way I wished, all 3 if I like, so I added the clay, just to my oily T zone. We used whatever was left on our hands to cover our whole hands, front and back, because we also want beautiful soft hands… and there we all sat for several minutes. Maha told me I looked like a super hero, and Jenn agreed, stating that my towel was a cape! The man points started to trickle back in.
Once dry and cracking on our faces, we washed off our masques and applied another oil and a cream, whose ingredients again escape me, and we were basically done! Since we had done the facial as a group (you’ll need at least 4, up to 15) we had a discount of 20% on all the products in the store. Many are hand made right in the store by a ravishing young woman. Again, names? No clue. One thing of many that I liked here was when I asked the owner what to do to help my eyes look better, the tips she gave me actually weren’t sales pitches, she gave me actual USEFUL advice to help me, not to sell products. Only when I pushed on did they show me something to actually buy, and I respect that a lot. It builds credibility for me, and that’s what I need to be a repeat customer. Yes, me, a man, a MANLY man, will return.

You know how you feel really excited when you are about to introduce two people that you really like that you are just SURE are going to hit it off? That’s how I felt tonight having set up the UYE for a Spa Party at MoonDance. Introducing my beloved and respected Unilocalers to the wonder and joy of MoonDance had me all a-​flutter.
In heaven, there is a spa party everyday. I’ve now attended 4 spa parties in the last 3 months, having arranged 2 of them myself. Eventhough I am no girly-​girl, it’s so relaxing and makes me feel so pretty I adore going there and pampering myself. I have to admit that since they are running a special that gives you your spa party for free when you arrange one for 6 or more, I’ve become an even bigger fan. As many of you know, arranging a UYE can be hard work and Tonja was amazing working with me as I changed our RSVP at least 5 times!
I really can’t think of a better deal. $ 15 for several glasses of champagne, gouda cheese drizzled in honey with walnuts and crackers, delicious lavender blueberry chocolate and a 5 step self applied facial that makes you feel like a new woman/​man (Dave the Brave, I’m talking about you there). My face feels so soft right now, I’m having a hard time keeping my hands to myself! I just keep pawing my myself and oohing and aahing about how soft and silky I am.
Since you get 20% off your purchase after the spa party, I’ve bought just about one of everything over these past few months. The headache oil really helps me with the stress headaches. I drip a few drops on my hoodie and it relaxes me all day long. The lavender silk skin cleanser is part of my nightly routine. The Rosewater Elixir is a big favorite at work! It’s so refreshing! Each and every product is organic, made fresh weekly and knocks my socks off! Because they care about the environment, they will give you a 50% discount if you bring back the bottle of most items!!!
I love you MoonDance Botanicals. Thank you for making me and my friends feel so pretty!!!
