INDIGENOUS MADE | NATURAL SELF-CARE
We bring together Indigenous plant knowledge and our love for the land to create natural soaps and self-care offerings here in the Yukon. The boreal forest generously provides us with gifts that continue to be valued and cared for across generations. We uphold ancestral knowledge, adding local hand-harvested plants like wild rose, fireweed, and sage to create gentle, natural self-care for even the most sensitive skin. We believe in keeping things natural. No harsh chemicals, parabens, artificial colourants or perfumes are added. We always keep it Yukon pure!
VALUING THE HANDS THAT SUSTAIN US
Before plants become natural wellness products, there is time spent learning from Elders and Knowledge Keepers, following harvesting protocols, building relationships with plant relatives, and gathering respectfully on the land. In our Northern Tutchone community, harvesting includes receiving consent, offering gratitude, taking only what is needed, and protecting the land for future generations. This knowledge, often carried by Elders, Aunties, and Grandmothers, is essential work that supports families and ecosystems. Reclaiming an economy of care means recognizing the value and building economies rooted in relationship, responsibility, and balance. As the interest in natural health products grows, so does the responsibility to recognize the care, time, and knowledge that make these products possible.
INSPIRED BY THE LAND
The Yukon is home to one of the largest areas of untouched wilderness left in the world. We take land stewardship seriously and offer you natural soap inspired by the land. One of our most popular soaps, Aurora's Passion is just one example.
From the breathtaking aurora borealis to the tranquil lakes and lush forests, the north's natural beauty instills a deep sense of purity that transcends into your self-care routine.

The Yukon Soaps Company Story
Indigenous-owned and operated by Joella Hogan and her team in Mayo, Yukon. The Yukon Soaps Company connects you to the heart of the north through their self-care offerings. With articles written by National Geographic, HGTV, Cosmopolitan, and more, Yukon Soaps continues to be highlighted as the community-driven, empowering movement it is. When Joella moved to her grandmother's community, she was looking for a way to connect people to culture and to land. And she has done just that—from getting Elders and local children outside to gather botanicals to offering soap workshops and business mentorship opportunities. By teaching their team to harvest plants and spend time on the land, Yukon Soaps is supporting the (re)connection and healing of their community.
