Moon and Mare — Why Fabric Matters More Than You Think

Moon and Mare — Why Fabric Matters More Than You Think

We think a lot about clean skincare and wellness.
But we rarely talk about the one thing that sits against our skin the most:

our clothing.

At Moon & Mare, I wanted to create sleepwear that feels calm, breathable, and genuinely kind to your skin. Pieces that don’t just look soft — but live soft. That’s why our collection is made using 95% TENCEL™ Modal and 5% elastane, with fabrics that are OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified for skin safety.

Because what you put on your body matters — especially the pieces you live and rest in.


Why We Choose TENCEL™ Modal

TENCEL™ Modal begins as responsibly sourced wood pulp, then becomes an incredibly smooth, breathable fiber through a carefully controlled process. It’s known for being:

• luxuriously soft
• naturally breathable
• gentle on even sensitive skin
• beautifully drapey — never clingy or stiff

It also resists pilling and holds its softness wash after wash — so your favorite sleep set stays your favorite.

We blend it with 5% elastane so the fabric moves with you — never tight, never restrictive — just effortless comfort.


A Lower-Impact Choice

TENCEL fibers are produced using a closed-loop system, meaning water and solvents are reused rather than released. The wood pulp is sourced from responsibly managed forests, and the process is designed with intention and care — something we believe should be part of everything we wear.

This approach aligns with Moon and Mare’s philosophy:

less plastic. more breathability. more intention.

You won’t find synthetic-heavy fabrics dominating our collection — because we believe softness shouldn’t come at the cost of your skin or the planet.


Certified for Peace of Mind

Our fabrics are OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, which means they’ve been independently tested for a long list of harmful substances — from certain dyes to heavy metals and formaldehyde.

So when we say our pieces are gentle on skin, we mean it.

This is our version of clean clothing —
quietly considered,
never loud,
always intentional.


What “Clean Clothing” Means to Us

For Moon & Mare, clean clothing isn’t a trend.
It’s a mindset.

It means fabrics that breathe.
Fibers that feel natural against the body.
Simplicity. Longevity. Ease.

Clothing that supports rest — not overstimulation. Clothing that feels like an exhale.



Why It Matters — Especially for Sleepwear

Rest is when our bodies restore and reset.
So the clothing you sleep in shouldn’t trap heat, irritate skin, or feel synthetic.

It should feel like home.

That’s what Moon & Mare was created for —
softness that feels pure, quiet, and deeply comfortable.

Because when your sleepwear is kind to you,
your nights — and your days — feel different.


🕊 A Gentle Future

We’re not perfect — and we don’t pretend to be.
But every decision we make leans toward:

✔ cleaner fabrics
✔ fewer synthetic plastics
✔ transparency
✔ thoughtful production
✔ pieces made to last

Small steps. Real intention. Modern calm.

Welcome to Moon and Mare.
Where clothing feels like breathing.
