Wild Môn began, like so many of our family's ideas, with the sea.
For more than 25 years, our family business, Halen Môn, has been making hand-harvested sea salt from the waters of the Menai Strait, on the beautiful island of Ynys Môn (Anglesey). Over that time, we've learnt an enormous amount about the natural resources that surround us.
A few years ago, Alison and David, the founders of Halen Môn, discovered the wonderful tradition of seaweed bathing. They couldn't believe how rejuvenated they felt, and before long we were welcoming visitors to experience their own wild seaweed baths here on Anglesey.
Watching guests sink into warm water filled with seaweed, surrounded by the Welsh landscape, and emerge feeling relaxed and with beautifully soft skin, got Alison and her daughter Jess thinking. Could we bring a little of that feeling into people's homes?
Alison has spent decades creating and growing businesses, always with an appreciation for wonderful natural ingredients and the importance of making things properly.
Jess grew up on Anglesey, surrounded by the sea and the family business, before spending over a decade living and working in cities. With a background in design, branding and storytelling, she's always been drawn to beautiful, thoughtful products and the small details that can make using them feel like a proper treat.
Together, we began developing a range of natural skincare that combined our shared love of the sea with products we'd genuinely want to use ourselves.
We spent nearly two years developing the range, carefully choosing ingredients for their nourishing properties, thinking about scents and textures, and creating products that would feel like a little luxury in an ordinary day. We wanted the products to be effective, of course, but also beautiful to own, lovely to give as gifts and a pleasure to use.
From our deeply nourishing balms to mineral-rich bath salts, seaweed bathing rituals and relaxing pillow sprays, each product is designed to bring a moment of calm, comfort or invigoration to your day.
We use ingredients inspired by the coastline around us, from Halen Môn sea salt and bladderwrack seaweed extract to antioxidant-rich sea buckthorn, alongside carefully selected botanical oils and natural essential oils.
Our products are made in Wales, with most of the range made here on Anglesey. The island is woven into everything we do, from the ingredients we choose to the colours, textures and landscapes that inspire our designs.
