Our Beginning

Blue Root Soaps was born out of a desire to use products that felt good. Not only for our bodies, but for our environment. 

My sister came home after a visit to her in-laws in Prineville, Oregon. She was elated, telling me she and her in-law had made soap! "It's so cool!" she exclaimed and that is where it all began, roughly 20 years ago. She and I would gather twice a year to make soap for our families, making enough to last until the next soap meet-up.

From there I learned how to make other products, where commercial products just didn't live up to my expectations. I wanted products that felt good on my skin, were effective and considered the greater good for our environment. After I had children of my own, this standard became that much more important! Thus began my journey into soothing, smooth lip balm, deodorants, healing salves, soaps and balms. 

A huge door of creativity opened onto this vast world of healthy beauty products that were both beautiful and functional. Not to mention, they are fun to create. I haven't looked back yet! 

I am continually learning my craft, my ingredients and the plant world around me. I forge herbs and medicinal plants from my own backyard, and the land around me to infuse into the products offered to you. 

Each year I add medicinal herbs and flowers to my garden to incorporate into my products. This allows me to keep my resources as close to home as possible, reducing not only my carbon footprint but also preserving nearby medicinal herbs and flowers.

Thank you for following along on this wellness journey with me. It's my pleasure to provide you the products I love and to hear that you love them too!
