A simple switch
Clean skin. A comfortable finish.
Some cleansers can leave skin feeling tight or stripped. Our traditionally made soap takes a different approach: a rich lather, with extra conditioning oils left in the finished bar.
More than a clean feeling.
We leave a little extra oil in the finished soap to help make the wash feel comfortable. That’s what “superfat” means.
A scent with a source.
Pure essential oils give our scented bars their character. Prefer no added scent? Choose an intentionally unscented bar.
A thoughtful kind of cleanSmall choices.

Cut
Each batch is cut into individual bars by our team.
Cure

A note from Rachel“I started asking questions
“I started asking questions
before it was popular.”
In 1998, I started looking closely at what was being used in everyday body-care products. At the time, almost nobody around me was talking about it.
Since 1999, that conviction has guided Blue Moon Elise. We make practical, traditionally crafted body care for people who want to remove unnecessary synthetic ingredients from the products they use every day—without having to become formulators themselves.

A little love for Lemongrass
“I can’t stop smelling my BMe Lemongrass Soap!! It makes my nose so happy and knowing it’s good for my skin and makes me happy too!”
The soap she comes back for
“BMe soaps are the best! The scents, the feel, and most of all, they are healthy for me AND the earth. It’s the only soap I’ll use.”
An everyday family favorite
“We have been enjoying these in our family for just about 12 years. Our only issue is we fight over our favorites!”
Comfort in an everyday bar
“I have always had dry itchy skin, especially in cold weather. After using Bme soap, problem solved.”
A little love for real Patchouli
“Love it! An everyday connection to my BMe Family! Love how their Patchouli essential oil is NOT a fragrance and it's real Patchouli.”
