Who can use January Moon products?

All kinds of people! Our products are inclusive, beloved by babies, teething toddlers, children, women and men on the go, individuals with sensory needs, and anyone looking for strong and stylish accessories to complement through any stage in life. Our purposeful products are reliable enough to withstand daily wear and tear and refined enough to fit seamlessly into your wardrobe.

Although our products are tons of fun, they aren’t toys. All JM products are intended for safe, reasonable use by adults and are not to be used by or left unsupervised with, children under three years of age or persons with special needs. Always inspect jewelry before use. If you detect damage, discontinue use and please contact us at: info@januarymoon.com.

What are “sensory needs”?

From the moment we are born, sensory exploration is important to us. We get to know our world by experiencing its sights, sounds, smell, taste, and feel and as we grow, we continue to use these senses to help us navigate. January Moon products are designed to encourage sensory exploration and development in everyone from infants to adults, by using bright colors, interesting textures, and premium materials that offer comfort and stimulate curiosity. Many of our customers feel good when they have something with them that offers additional sensory input, they include persons with autism, sensory processing disorders, anxiety, oral fixations, and ADHD.

Cleaning

What is the best way to keep my January Moon accessory clean?

Your January Moon item is made to get messy and easily cleans with soap and water so if you manage to get applesauce/mud/sweat all over favorite JM piece, don’t panic. To clean, all you need to do is gently wash the beads, safety breakaway clasp, and other components with warm soapy water and let air-dry. If you want to make your shiny parts extra shiny, you can use a metal polishing cloth to buff it to perfection!
