With every new year, comes the chance to make a fresh new start. So what will 2012 bring for you? A new body, A new friend, A new life?

We at Blue Yonder Soaps, are using this new year to give You Our Customers, the very best natural soaps, bath, body and spa products that we possibly can.

What are we are doing to make our soaps better?

To Start, we choose natural, organic and unrefined ingredients in every bar of soap and every natural product that we make.

We scent our soaps and natural products with essential oils and other natural ingredients. It is our goal to provide a scented product that is not over powering, and to that end we often error on the light side just to be sure that our scents do not overtake any one’s breathing space.

Another way that we make our products better is in the way that we formulate our soaps, we do so with the lowest possible amount of caustic ingredients needed to make soap, doing so produces a very mild soap.

In November of 2011 we asked a local cabinet maker to help us, and he agreed to make us several new soap molds. The new molds will make a nice 2.5 x 2.5 x 1.125 size bar, that weighs approximately 4 ounces each.

This year we will be making soap in our new molds, that will give you a slightly larger bar. We will be discontinuing the small size bars that we had in favour of the new size exclusively.

We have a few new products in the works, one I would like to mention is a Sugaring Wax. Sugaring is a natural way to remove unwanted facial or body hair. It is completely water soluble and can be washed with plain soap & water from any surface, making sugaring a nice alternative to waxes that can not be washed away. Sugaring is an age old process that dates back to the time of the Pharaohs.

Sugaring wax is very safe, and has no artificial chemicals, or toxic ingredients, it is so natural and safe that you could eat it. We are anxious to share this with you, and hear your thoughts on our new Sugaring Wax.

In conclusion we would like to thank our loyal customers who made 2011 such a lovely year. We look forward to providing you even better products and service for the coming years.

Thank you!

Blue Yonder Soaps

Blue Yonder Soaps had its beginning in 2007 when Karen Coghlan saw the need to return to work. But it really goes farther back than that. Karen began to make handmade soap in her Sacramento, California home, back in the late 1990′s. She found that soap making was something she enjoyed, and for which she had talent.

It all started when her younger sister Cheryl asked Karen to use the internet to research soap making. Cheryl did not have internet access, and thought the internet would be a good place to learn about soap. And she was right; the internet was full of information about soap making. It was also a great place to meet other soap makers, and a great resource for supplies.

Karen never intended to make soap herself, but the more she learned, and interacted with other soap makers, she began to think that she might be able to make soap if she tried. She purchased a kit, and some soap making books, and gave it a try. Her first soaps were not perfect but they were soap, and that was all she needed.

After nearly a year of making soap, Karen suddenly became very ill; her doctors did not know why she was so sick. After many unsuccessful doctor visits, Karen began to give up the idea of ever finding the cause or cure for the pain & suffering she was experiencing.

Then one day, she read a post from another soap maker, the woman was telling the group about her own illness. She was chemically sick and it had a name, “Multiple Chemical Sensitivities”. The light came on for Karen. Fragrance/Perfumes seem to be the worse offenders for people with MCS.

After many years of working hard at avoiding the chemicals that made her sick, Karen’s illness improved to the point that she could handle lavender essential oil again, so she began to use soap scented only with lavender essential oils. In 2007 she was doing so well that she decided to make scented soap again. To avoid the problems she had with fragrance oils in the past, Karen decided to scent her soaps with only essential oils. Her health continues to improve.

And thus, Blue Yonder Soaps was born. Based on Karen’s experience Blue Yonder Soaps, and all of its Bath, Body, & Spa Products; are now being made with the finest Natural, Organic & Unrefined ingredients we can find. It is our goal to provide skin-safe, environmentally friendly, personal care products.

We hope you enjoy our products
as much as we do!
