Welcome to Bison Star.

Hello! We are a small family business whose products are made with organically, naturally and locally sourced ingredients. We wild harvest the plants within our bar soaps and nothing ever contains animal products, dyes or perfumes.

After starting our family, we desired more natural products than ever before, beginning with personal care items. We had some soap recipes from hobby making so we decided to try out making a business with products we intended to use in our own household.

The idea of Bison Star began in 2013 when we started making soaps as a hobby, although didn’t actually open until January of 2018. We released our lotion soon after in May of 2018 and our liquid soap in January of 2019. We’re working on adding to our product offering to include other body care products including body wash & more.

Join our Journey as we build!

We are nearing completion of the #BisonStarBuild – our 1300 square foot workshop to make our products in. This project began in 2019 and is on target to be completed in 2021. Visit our Visit Us page to learn more.

A little about us.
