Interview: LOCALE Magazine

I was recently interviewed for LOCALE Magazine for their article about the new Hi-Desert Daydream shop in Twentynine Palms.

Read the full article here to meet some of the other vendors and makers with whom I share this space.

“For handcrafted, luxurious body, bath and home products, look no further than Mojave Moon Apothecary. ‘I started Mojave Moon Apothecary to share my love of Southern California and the Mojave Desert while honoring the unique history and culture of this area,’ owner Heather Basile explains. ‘All of our products are vegan and cruelty-free, [and] I try to focus on organic, sustainably sourced materials and recyclable, reusable packaging wherever possible.’ 

Not only does Mojave Moon Apothecary value sustainability, Basile donates 10% of the sales from white sage and palo santo to the Native American Rights Fund (NARF). It’s clear that Basile honors the ingredients she uses! 

‘For me, there is something comforting about natural scents and pure, simple ingredients. Everything in my line is formulated drop-by-drop, and I have basically turned my dining room into an alchemist’s laboratory,’ she laughs. ‘There is definitely a bit of a mad scientist vibe when I am working, but it smells amazing!’”
