As owner of Blue Bison Soapery I discovered soaps in America were not helping my or my children's skin conditions. As I traveled back and forth from America to Germany I noticed that our skin conditions would change for the worse in the U.S.A. This is when I said enough, what is causing this here in the States but not in Germany? That is when I discovered that palm oils where one of the main reasons for dry itchy skin and flareups. I found that by simply removing all palm oils from my soaps and using skin safe mica and scents blended with essential oils seemed to help a lot of people Welcome! I'm Claudia Sammer and the owner and founder of Blue Bison Soapery. I'm blessed to be the mother of two wonderful children that I raise in Southern Colorado. This business is my dream come true since I came to the US in 2010 and it's giving me this wonderful opportunity to share my passion of handmade, high-quality bath and body products with this world. I grew up very simple in the suburbs of Eastern Germany. My family grew their own vegetables, fruits and herbs because back then supplies were limited. Sure, as a child, I didn't think much about it - yet, looking back, I see how that shaped my deep connection and gratitude for nature, my appreciation for the simple things in life and passion for health consciousness. My products reflect the high quality and high standards that I set on my personal life as well as my professional life. All my recipes are my own formulations, researched and constantly refined, using the best ingredients; which are for our soaps: Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Shea Butter, Castor Oil, phthalate free Fragrance Oils, and Micas (dyed silicate minerals that are found in granite, crystals, and other rocks). Our Luxury Soaps, scented with Essential Oil blends, have in addition Mango Seed Butter and Cocoa Butter to achieve an even more moisturizing and creamier bar. All formulations are a wonderful balance of vitamins, minerals and skin-loving properties meant to soothe & nourish your skin and body and make your bathtub & shower time a fun and healthy experience.
