THE AIN'T BUGGIN' ME VIBE
Made for the days you’d rather stay outside.
- The scent
- Fresh · Herbal · Citrusy
- The feel
- Light botanical exfoliation
- The moment
- Summer & outdoor days
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.

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.”

Great for my excema, and multiple skin issues. No irritation. Sudsy and smooth enough to even use to shave with….and no razor burn! Use a soap bag for one in the shower to exfoliate and get extra suds if you like it. Just enough “stuff” to exfoliate with the bars that have it like the peppermint oatmeal. Unscented oatmeal works great for my son’s sensitive skin too! Definitely recommend. Love the grapefruit. Just enough scent without that perfume scent so many soaps have. Perfect for hands and body! Will have one in every room now🙂 thank you….i know how much work goes into making each and every one of these bars. Support small businesses!❤️

I cut up a few big slices of the soap, put it in a spray bottle with water and baby oil mixed it around until the soap dissolved. Boom! Perfect repellent! I use the baby oil so it wouldn’t dry out as quick while being outside and it last pretty much the whole day. The poppy seeds did get stuck in the straw but I simply just washed it out and it was good to go. Perfect for walking the dogs and I rub it on them as well. I use it every day and still have half a bar left

First, the positive. It smells lovely. I used this fir two weeks. I got more mosquito bites using it, then with out using if. Completely weird. Obviously, I stopped using it. Waste of money.
L
Started out silky soft after about a week those brown spots in thr pic are revealed and truly feel like sandy rocks they HURT when you try to use the soap. Threw in the garage a FULL bar $8.95 for the roughest most painful thing I've ever let touch me.
J
Not liking the poppy seeds that they put on it. The soap is good except for the poppy seeds that become sharp and sticking out when the soap is used up. It scrubbed my skin even when I put the soap inside a small towel. The poppy seeds can also clog your drain or sink cuz it didn't soften after i soaked them in water.

My mistake they seem a bit larger
G
so i am now using this soap everyday. Love its texture and i know it’s keeping those flying things away. i wont sit in a mosquito filled area to test it, though. enjoy
P
Haven't used it for bug control because I don't want to smell like that soap..I love all your other soaps a lot
A
I like the smell and I think the bugs dont. I am also using the ain't bugging me repellent t and that works great. I am very happy with both products.
D
this soap has a pleasant texture and aroma. It cleans without drying the skin.
can smell the cintrolla but not unpleasant.
B
Awesome soap and great customer service!
N
Great shopping experience and fast shipping!
D
This stuff works! And it smells good, fresh, and it feels good...a little exfoliating.
I will definitely be buying the again.
A
Definitely works
i
I have purchased this soap before, so this was a re buy. This soap helps keep me from getting bit by mosquitos and other bitting bugs. I recommend this soap.
S
I have ALWAYS been the one person that mosquitoes prefer in a group of people. This soap has changed that for me.
Effectiveness: I don't get bitten at all within 4 hours of my morning shower. I've seen mosquitoes flying around my truck cab trying to get away!
The high-quality soap cleans well and leaves no residue. The scent is a little too feminine for me, but I have grown to like what the mosquitoes hate :)
C
Tiene un aroma especial
D
We buy these all the time due to our location. I have a theory that washing with this when the bugs are out helps not get bitten. This, combined with other products, repels the bugs. I like the smell, however, it's a bit rough and my kids don't want that.
J
Satisfaction with product
m
I buy this every summer/ spring. It really helps with the mosquito bites. I’m like a delicacy to insects have been using this for years it cuts down on the bites big time and helps relieve the itching when you get them
T
A satisfied repeat customer. This product works.
L
It’s ok, I’ll use it, but was hoping it would have a stronger fragrance to encourage mosquitoes to bother someone else.
M
Mosquitos are normally attracted to me like no other, high chemical bug spray doesn't work and all natural bug spray doesn't work. I just took a 2 week overlanding trip, I bought this soap just for the trip and it worked amazing! Still got a couple bites, because NOTHING is 100% at preventing bug bites, but 2 bites in 2 weeks versus the 5-10 bites a day I usually get is more than I could ask for. I also have super sensitive skin and am sensitive to smells, but I had 0 issues with it. I probably wouldn't use this for home use due to the length of time the bar lasted me, but it is perfect for camping or traveling. The exfoliation from the poppy seeds is also fantastic, its not too soft or too rough. I will be buying this for all future trips and as gifts for friends and family.
J
This soap has a pleasant fragrance and is effective against biting bugs.
Thank you for making this product!

It smells really good and it works. I even wash my hair with it.
