Amanda Chantal Bacon is an American entrepreneur,[1] cookbook author,[2] and wellness influencer.[3][4][5] Originally from New York, Bacon founded the juice and beauty products company Moon Juice in 2012.[6][5] The company's items are sold in multiple locations and its supplements[7] are available in the United States and Canada at retailers such as Sephora.[8][9]

Moon Juice is reported to have over $20 million in annual sales and has celebrity fans such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Zoë Kravitz, and Shailene Woodley. [10]

Career[edit]

Bacon graduated from the New England Culinary Institute in Vermont and moved to Los Angeles to work as a chef[11] at the restaurant Louques.[12] She opened her first Moon Juice shop in 2012.[13] By 2015, she had three locations of the store.[13][14]

Bacon published a cookbook, The Moon Juice Cookbook, in September 2016.[15]

In 2018, Bacon launched a line of beauty products under the Moon Juice name.

In 2021, Moon Juice was reported to have hired a management consultant to explore mergers and acquisitions options.[16]

Other Content[edit]

In 2022, ex-employees of Bacon's Moon Juice company alleged that it was a toxic work environment for employees in Los Angeles.[17] Its stores in California had composting bins, but former employees claimed they were told to throw compost in the regular trash because the company did not pay for a composting service.[18]

Amanda Chantal Bacon grew up in New York City and is the daughter of Chantal Bacon, who was partner and CEO of American fashion mogul Betsey Johnson.[19]

Bacon is married to drummer Gregory Rogove, has two children, and lives in the Rustic Canyon[20] neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.[21]
