Positivity Over Plastic: Live with Intention

Our Story

At Sun Moon Rain, our mission is to make a positive impact on the planet by offering eco-friendly, refillable solutions that promote sustainability and reduce waste. We are committed to stopping the cycle of single-use plastic consumption and providing a thoughtful, earth-friendly shopping experience.

We proudly operate as a refill shop and a zero-waste store in Santa Monica, specializing in eco-friendly household items, natural personal care, and sustainable jewelry made from crystals. Our product range includes refillable cleaning supplies, skincare, and personal care products, all designed to be kind to both you and the environment.

Why We Do What We Do

Did you know that a plastic bottle cap can take between 10 and 500 years to decompose? Now think about how long it takes for an entire shampoo bottle to break down. We often buy products like shampoo and conditioner from traditional stores, which get used up quickly—typically within a month. After that, we throw the bottles away without a second thought. Shockingly, according to Johnson & Johnson, 552 million shampoo bottles end up in landfills in the United States alone each year. That’s enough plastic to fill 1,164 football fields.

But what if there was a better way?

At Sun Moon Rain, a refill shop in Santa Monica, we offer refillable bottles for your household and personal care products. Imagine having a bottle that you can use for the rest of your life, refilled with earth-friendly products free from harmful toxins. By choosing refillable options, you're not just reducing waste—you're also caring for your well-being with natural personal care items.

From everyday cleaning supplies to intentional, sustainable jewelry, we are dedicated to offering products that help you live a more mindful, environmentally responsible lifestyle. We create and curate refillable products for your home, body, and spirit—offering both style and sustainability in every item we offer.

Join us in making smarter, greener choices for a healthier future—for ourselves, our children, and the planet. Sun Moon Rain is here to provide you with eco-friendly solutions that make a lasting impact.

Shabnam Melwani – Heart and Soul of Sun Moon Rain

My journey with Sun Moon Rain began long before I officially created the brand. From a young age, I felt a deep connection with crystals, always collecting them for their energy and healing powers. In 2012, while going through a tough time, I turned to those crystals for support and decided to create my first collection of sustainable jewelry. My mission was to spread positivity and help others heal, just as the crystals had helped me.

As I continued my personal growth, I traveled to powerful energetic places around the world and truly realized how much Mother Nature provides for our healing and well-being. This sparked a desire in me to protect these gifts, and I knew Sun Moon Rain could play a role in this mission.

When I moved from Singapore to Los Angeles in 2019, I became increasingly aware of the devastating impact of plastic pollution. This led me to expand Sun Moon Rain beyond jewelry and into eco-conscious living. In April 2023, I opened the first Sun Moon Rain store in Santa Monica, California. Here, we offer a range of plastic-free home products, including a refill shop with 72 eco-friendly options for your home, kitchen, laundry, skin, and body care. We also created a section with pre-filled grab-and-go bottles to make the transition to sustainability easier for everyone.

At Sun Moon Rain, we strive to be your local zero-waste store and eco-friendly shop in Santa Monica, providing earth-friendly products and sustainable jewelry that help reduce plastic waste while promoting positivity. Together, we can protect our planet and make small but meaningful changes for a better future.

With gratitude,
