Who We Are
Jaden and Skylee Dennis are fifth and sixth generation Montanans, rejuvenating their ranching heritage from both sides of their family. They have a passion for regenerative agriculture, cultivating relationships and investment with local community, and providing the highest quality, Montana grown skincare products.
Growing up, they both struggled with their skin. As anyone knows who has also had the same struggles, it’s not just how it makes you look, it’s how it makes you feel. Starting a skincare company was the last thing either of them thought they’d be doing, but as the saying goes “man makes plans, and god laughs.”
But they had a vision for their skincare company that was more than just skincare products. They wanted their business model to support domestic and local manufacturing, and to be a part of the solution to support American workers and their families, and thats how Rocky Mountain Traders was born.
Our Movement
Rocky Mountain Traders is more than just a skincare company. We take pride in knowing that our locally sourced ingredients are among the best out there, and that our business model puts money back into our local community and keeps ranchers ranching. We are proud to be a company that values and supports domestic manufacturing, even when thats not always best for the bottom line.
We believe that nature, not laboratories provide the things we need to be healthy.
We believe in product labels that you can pronounce, and know what they actually are.
We believe in buying food from neighbors, not the big box stores whenever possible.
We believe in healthy living, whether thats eliminating toxic skincare products from your bathroom, or buying organic food from your local producer.
We believe in community.
Our Commitment
Quality: We believe that the best ingredients are the ones that require the least processing, which is why we use time tested skincare ingredients like beef tallow, as opposed to low cost, low quality alternatives. We Believe that quality begins at the origin and that’s why we source the primary ingredients for our products locally. We use beef tallow from a local ranch in Montana, and raw, unfiltered, honey and beeswax from a bee keeper in Central Montana. With an attention to quality, all of our products are hand made in small batch and packaged by hand to ensure all standards are met. Read more about our ingredients.
Transparency: We always list our ingredients, in the order they’re used, never using vague terms that can hide ingredients. We never use synthetic chemicals such as Phthalates, Parabens, or Fragrance.
Sustainability: We source the primary ingredients for our products locally, from small farms and ranches that have implemented sustainable practices. We use limited packaging, and whenever possible we use kraft packaging that is recyclable and biodegradable, with an emphasis on limiting plastics.
What you put on your skin matters, and our mission is to make the best possible products with locally sourced ingredients, for a difference you can feel.
