Two locals, Christie Peacocke and Tayla Canter have started up a small business that reminds people to take time for themselves, and of the importance of self-care.

New Moon Silk is a thoughtfully curated range of mulberry silk products using premium materials, practical designs, and gorgeous colours to bring a little bit of luxe to customers. 

So far, they have sleep masks and pillowcases available. 

The premium mulberry silk helps prevent wrinkles, and also absorbs much less moisture than traditional pillowcases, keeping your face hydrated and helping your skincare routine to work at its full potential while you sleep.

“We created New Moon to provide products for self-care, while bringing luxury and comfort to the homes of customers”, says Christie.

“We both lead busy lives and discovered silk as an efficient and effective tool for self-care. New Moon products help to look after our sleep quality, skin and hair during the hours we spend recharging.”

Mulberry silk has the longest and finest fibres in the silk family. These incredibly fine fibres are the reason behind New Moon Silk product’s anti-ageing properties and hair smoothing and strengthening benefits.

As mulberry silk does not hold moisture, it has an antibacterial element.

This year, new colours and products will be added to the range. 

“We have a new colour launching this winter in our pillowcase and sleep mask range, as well as some exciting new products coming this summer. We are really looking forward to expanding our range based on valuable feedback from our stockists and customers.

New Moon Silk is stocked in retailers and specialists local to Matakana such as The Bach, Smith Hairdressing, Lite Injectables, Little Takatu Studio and Nomad & Home. For further information about other stockists and product benefits, visit their online store newmoonsilk.com.
