Gem & Tonic Gemstones
At Gem & Tonic we use Moonstone in our Revive & Refresh, Hair & Scalp Mist, which is a gentle and refreshing mist that is designed to breathe life back into your roots between washes. We use sustainably sourced Moonstone extract to enhance shine.
Every Gem & Tonic product is enriched with natural gemstone extracts, specially selected for their proven, multi-action benefits. The gemstones in our products are sustainably sourced from the earth and are COSMOS certified by ECOCERT.
The latest technology enables the extraction of gemstone minerals so they can be made bioavailable to the skin. The stones go through a grinding process to create a powder, which then goes through a unique extraction process to extract the trace minerals the stones contain. These minerals are then stabilised to remain soluble in water, which forms the extracts we then include in our formulations.
Moonstone: The Gem of Radiance and Renewal
Moonstone has long captivated people with its soft, ethereal glow. Known as the “stone of new beginnings,” it has a rich history that spans across cultures and centuries. Today, it’s not only admired for its beauty in jewellery but also appreciated for its symbolism, energy, and use in holistic self-care practices.
A Glimpse into Moonstone’s History
Moonstone has been treasured for thousands of years. In ancient Rome, it was believed to be formed from solidified rays of the moon, carrying lunar light within its shimmering surface. Indian cultures considered it sacred and a stone of divine feminine energy, often given as a gift to lovers for good fortune. In the Art Nouveau era of the early 1900s, moonstone became a favorite among jewelers for its dreamy, opalescent sheen, often set into delicate rings and pendants.
