YoggieBear was the nickname of one of our founders and when we were looking for something that would differentiate YoggieBear, we combined our love of Bears, especially those that have endangered populations and worked with ingredients common to that bears native habitat. Each Polar, Tibetan, Sumatran or Spirit product sold contributes to the welfare of these awesome creatures.
You can also visit our store and peruse a collection of Teddy, Scare and bears of other persuasions we have collected.
Sumatran Black Bears
Also known as Sun Bears, are the worlds smallest bear and the most arboreal. found in tropical forest habitats of Southeast Asia ranging from northeastern India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam to southern Yunnan Province in China, and on the islands of Sumatra and Borneo in Indonesia. YoggieBears fragrance is based upon Frankincense, Cedarwood and Fir Needle of the southeast asian highlands.
Tibetan Blue Bears
The Tibetan Blue Bear is a sub-species of the Tibetan Brown Bear and is one of the rarest sub-species on the planet and is rarely sighted in the wild. Historically found mainly on the alpine eastern Tibetan plateau (4,500 to 5,000 metres) in eastern Tibet, western China, Nepal, and Bhutan. The remaining bears in the wild seem to be confined to eastern Tibet and Bhutan. Yoggiebears fragrance includes Orange, Clove, Juniper and Sandalwood, reminiscent of the Tibetan Highlands.
Polar Ice Bears
Polar Ice bears are the planet’s biggest land-based carnivores – although they actually spend most of their lives around water and ice (their Latin name means ‘sea bear’). So they’re at particular risk from global warming, which is melting the Arctic sea ice they depend on. Hence Yoggiebears fragrance is of Eucalyptus and Sage, a bracing cool combination.
Spirit Bears (fragrance under development)
Spirit bears aka Kermode bears are a subspecies of the North American black bear with a rare recessive gene that makes their fur white or cream. Spirit bears are not albino. They have pigment in their skin and eyes, which wouldn't be the case with albinos. Spirit bears have a single mutant gene that causes their unusual colouration.
