About Bare Basin Body Care, LLC
How we started
Bare Basin Body Care, LLC was started in a 500 sq. ft. cabin just outside Rocky Mountain National Park in 2018. The goal then was to make soap and only soap, mostly for friends, family, or as gifts. Those goals changed over time to now include the wider product range you see available today.
Heather Heinz, owner and founder, graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Northern Colorado, emphasizing in Industrial Chemistry. It was the lab setting which helped to build a foundation for what would one day become WMSCo., but first came joining Elkins Distilling Co.
Heather completed an undergraduate thesis with the Estes Park distillery in 2017 and then moved up to the mountains to work full time at Elkins Distilling Co. as a distiller. Having retired distillery work in 2020 to move into an administrative position, more time has been given to the WMSCo. project with the hope of growing it both locally and online.
Our mission & focus
Bare Basin Body Care, LLC strives to offer customers quality bath care products at an affordable price, while also providing friendly and efficient customer service. So many bath products on the market are made with truly harsh chemicals or toxins meant to strip down the natural oils of your body. Bare Basin Body Care, LLC never uses fillers or unnatural colorants. Many of our products do contain fragrances because of their popularity, however; products made using only essential oils are listed as so in their descriptions. All products are tested for their safety prior to being available for sale and we are transparent about any ingredient used during our processes.
We are also greatly aware of the efforts against plastics and continue to change packaging and operations to cut down on their use.
Why whisky? Does it do anything?
Of course it does! It boosts up your inner soul and fuels the creative giant in all of us. But mostly, it's a novelty. Although ethanol is known to be a great antimicrobial agent, Heather's passion for whisky and distillation are what gave the special ingredient its unique home. (We will most definitely attest to its effectiveness in the Whisky Mountain Soap Co. hand sanitizer and Rugged Essentials.)
