I've been creating skin and haircare since February 2004. Only to find out that not 1 (one), but 2 (two) different companies are using the name of my baby care line, and another company has taken the name of my hair care line and made it their own. So, I've been forced to change the name of my Business.

Introducing Ar'senia Blu® Beauty - a natural body and hair care company specializing in handmade artisan soaps and skin soothing products. Originally formulated and handcrafted by a self taught Mompreneur.

After 10+ years of trial and error in soap making we've formulated the perfect bar of soap  with no need for preservatives or extra junk. 

Our soaps are 100% Artisan Handcrafted using Organic and Fair trade Raw Ingredients that include, Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Organic Unrefined Coconut Oil, Organic Unrefined Jojoba Oil, Organic Castor Oil, Organic Almond Oil,  Fair Trade Raw and Unrefined Shea Butter, Fair Trade Raw and Unrefined Cocoa Butter, as well as Organic Mango Butter.  Our products may include one or more of the following ingredients in addition to the list of Organic Oils.  They include Raw Local Honey, Raw Local Beeswax, Organic Heavy Cream, Local Raw and Fresh Goatsmilk. 

Our product lines include Handmade Lotions, Balms, Salves and Natural Haircare products. With most of our products being considered "Vegan" . They're gentle enough for everyone in your family from your newborn baby to your family pets.  Yes, we mean it, we've been asked to make soap for puppies and an Equestrian Farm.

But, we don't just stop at the ingredients listed above.  We use Superfoods in certain products to enhance not only the look and feel of our products.  More importantly to add a natural conditioning element to the formulation.

Raw Cucumber Pureeis used in our“No Slumber Cucumber” Soap. While Pureed Lemons and Witch Hazel can be found in our best selling bar called the "Lemonhead Facial" Soap.  Banana’s and Beer come together to form the ever nourishing and moisture rich "Drunk Monkey " Soap.  A real crowd pleaser is our Raw Goatsmilk blended with Raw Aloe Vera gel ( harvested from our own Aloe Vera), Organic Coconut Milk, Wild crafted Honey and Colloidal Oatmeal to form another best seller we call "Oh Honey My Goat".  We have another favorite that really does have a ¼ cup of moisturizing cream.  It’s the “Lathering Lotion” Soap. Not slippery or greasy, just plain goodness.

Natural preservatives are used as needed and never include ingredients with Formaldahyde. We do not use any Solvants, SLS or Parabens.

Two Mold Types - Two Soap Making Techniques

All artisan soaps are handmade using the cold process soap method, however the two different types of molds will allow us to take our soaps through slightly different stages in the process.

The Silicone Soap Molds will go through the process of Saponification without heat. Remaining cool and taking at least 6 weeks to cure.  It takes 48 hours to remove from the bars from the molds because they are still very soft.  Scent may be stronger in these soaps and lather creamier due to the lack of heat.


The Acrylic Slab Soap Mold will allow the soap to go through the process of Saponification  by heating to a Gel stage.  Which then cools down within 24 hours and can be removed from the mold and placed on our drying racks to cure for as little as 3-4 weeks.  
By allowing the Gel stage during Saponification this causes the Lye ( Sodium Hydroxide) to become an inactive ingredient.  No smell or trace of the lye remains.  The soap can be used almost immediately upon being removed from the mold. However we allow it to cure on drying racks for 3-4 weeks, which creates a milder bar of soap.  These bars are usually harder and longer lasting. These bars tend to be more vibrant in color with a very dense frothy lather.
Contrary to Misconceptions - Soap is for CLEANING. That is it, nothing else.  If your looking for a soap that CLEANS, Moisturizes, Promotes Healing and Smells divine your looking for an Ar'senia Blu® Beauty Bar. Its REAL SOAP!
Some of the things we've accomplished to date.

1. Name Change is complete

2. *Logo Design and Branding Style has been developed

3. *Custom Soap Stamp has been received

4. *Company Stamp has been received

5. *Domain Name has been registered

6. *State Trademark Registration has been approved

7. *Social Media Presence - Establishing a following.

8. *Preliminary silicone molds have been received and refined.

OUR CUSTOMERS WILL BE ABLE TO CHOOSE FROM SIX DIFFERENT LINES OF HANDMADE SOAP USING OUR EASY COLOR RECOGNITION SYSTEM TO MAKE AN EDUCATED AND CONSUMER INFORMED PURCHASE.

Gone are the days when our handmade soap looks just like every other handmade bar of soap. 

The 16 Bar Customizable Acrylic Soap Mold will be designed with specifications that include our logo as well as the specific length, height and width size we've chosen for our finished bars. Allowing us to consistently create soaps with uniformity. No guessing at the batch sizes, no under or over sized cutting.  No stamping and No disguarded end cuts.


Out with the Old and in with the NEW!

Our new customized soap molds will usher in a new process. Saving valuable time, and we all know time is MONEY. Arsenia Blu is ready to make an impact with a style all our own.

The Old Process:

·  Formulate

  Line the wooden molds with freezer paper

  *Mix and Pure into wooden log molds

  Wait 24 hours for the soap to harden.

  Remove the soap from the wooden log, if it didnt'  seep out of the sides onto the wood, where it is stuck to the paper and the wood.

  Place the soap in the Miter Box

  Cut each bar with a Spackle Blade. Not forgetting that the very ends of each bar are disregarded or sold as samples because of imperfection, (which is due to the paper wrinkling on the ends).

  Get the Stamp and Mallet and Stamp each bar, one at a time ( if I'm lucky enough not to smash it).

  Place on drying rack for 4-6 weeks

·  Design and Print labels.

  Shrink wrap

·  Cigar band label each bar.

·  Add the ingredient sticker Label on the back.

The New Process:

  *Formulate

  *Mix and Pure into Customized mold Cavities

  *Wait 24/48 hours for soap to harden

·  Release from mold cavities

  *Place on drying rack for 4-6 weeks

  Place in pre-stamped Muslin Bags ( showing our logo),  which includes ingredient list printed on botanical paper  with our company info on the other side. Acting as a business card.
