Our Story
Based in America’s Heartland, bluerub® began in 2015 out of a need for silicone free body care products. One of our owners, Jane, received the exceptional gift of a kidney transplant and because of immune suppression, she was looking for a lotion that didn’t contain harmful ingredients. Her husband Jon, an entrepreneur by nature, suggested we manufacture our own. Thus began the journey to create bluerub®, our sports creams and body care manufacturing.

Balancing Nature with Science
Let’s get it out on the table. bluerub® is NOT 100% All Natural! Our line of products use the highest quality natural formulations balancing nature with science . What you put on your skin absorbs into your body, every time, so we have made a conscious decision NOT to use parabens, petroleums, SLS, or silicone in any of our products. What we do use at the lowest and safest possible amount are FDA approved preservatives.
“Chemicals can be absorbed through skin and into the blood stream, causing toxic effects,” says the Extension Toxicology Network (EXTOXNET).
Why does bluerub® use these preservatives? Research shows that yeast, mold or bacteria can get into products that don’t have preservatives, which can lead to infection.
Why do we exclude parabens, petroleums, SLS, or silicone in all of our products? Research shows that any amount of these toxins can
penetrate the skin, enter the blood stream, and accumulate in the body’s organs or unborn child.
Researcher Linda Chaé, writing for thehealthytruth.net
discussed this topic:
“Recent studies by dermatologists at the University of California and a multiple university cooperative team confirm that skin absorption is the major route of entry [for chemicals from skin or hair products getting into the womb].”
Our goal is to create the highest quality products that are good for your body and the earth.
Responsible Manufacturing
bluerub® products are cruelty-free. We never test on animals – NEVER!
At bluerub®, we take responsibility for our sustainable manufacturing from beginning to end. We not only address the waste that results from producing our products, but we also commit to doing business with the highest ethical standards and providing the safest working environment we can for our associates.
“We need to treat our clients, our communities and our planet with dignity and respect.”
That commitment is reflected in our naturally derived products, high-quality production, community reputation, and minimal environmental impact.
As a socially responsible company, we believe that our suppliers should share in this commitment. Our tubing is a Single Material Solution for all parts of the tube. Polypropylene (PP) has reduced trials due to compatibility testing and the entire tube is Code 5 recyclable. PP has the lowest CO2 emissions by weight of all plastics, shortened manufacturing process, less production energy required, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and reduced wall thickness (<600 microns – includes label).
bluerub® has set a goal to minimise waste of materials from manufacturing to office operations. We are committed to making continual improvements that will lead to achieving our objective of less landfilling.
This initiative will be good for the environment, good for our community and good for our business: less waste to landfill means less waste, optimised logistics, and fewer disposal costs.
