The Ain’t Buggin’ Me vibe

Made for the days you’d rather stay outside.

A crisp blend of botanical essential oils meets the rich lather and conditioning feel of our traditional cold-process soap. Its fresh, herbal character makes it an especially good choice for warm-weather showers, gardening days, camping trips and evenings on the porch.

A simple switch

Clean shouldn’t leave your skin asking for help.

Some cleansers remove more than the day’s dirt. They can leave skin feeling tight or stripped, sending you toward more products just to feel comfortable again.

The familiar cycle

Clean. Strip. Compensate. Repeat.

Harsh cleanseTight, dry feelReach for more
The BME approach

Clean skin—without the squeaky-dry aftermath.

Our slow-cured, traditionally made soap includes extra conditioning oils for a rich, comfortable cleanse.

A colorful assortment of wrapped Blue Moon Elise soaps

Simple + honest

Everything in the bar has a reason to be there.

We choose every oil, essential oil and botanical intentionally—and leave out synthetic fragrance, detergents and synthetic preservatives.

A note from Rachel

“I started asking questions before it was popular.”

In 1998, I started looking closely at what was being used in everyday body-care products—and I was appalled. At the time, almost nobody around me was talking about it. Some people thought I was a little weird for caring so much.

More than 27 years later, that conviction still guides 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.

Good to know

Your questions, answered.

Customers shouldn’t need to become ingredient experts to feel confident about what they put on their bodies. We’ve done the homework.

Fresh, bright and distinctly botanical, with an herbal essential-oil character and a clean citrus lift. The final scent notes and strength will be confirmed with Rachel before launch.

I 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.

I like the smell and I think the bugs don’t. I am also using the Ain’t Buggin’ Me repellent and that works great. I am very happy with both products.
