OUR APPROACH
Rocky Mountain Traders was built on a simple belief:
Skin thrives when it is supported, not overwhelmed.
In an industry defined by excess, we take a different approach. Our skincare is intentionally formulated to work with the skin’s natural function, using thoughtfully chosen ingredients that nourish, protect, and support long-term skin health.
We don’t believe skincare needs to be complicated to be effective.
We believe it needs to be intentional.
A GROUNDED BEGINNING
Rocky Mountain Traders was founded in Montana, where our connection to the land shapes everything we do.
Living and working on a farm instills a deep respect for quality, stewardship, and consistency. These values naturally extends into how we approach skincare.
Montana-sourced ingredients are the base for everything we do. That includes beef tallow, beeswax, raw honey, and emu oil. These ingredients are chosen not for novelty, but for their compatibility with skin and their long history of use.
INTENTIONAL FORMULATION
At the heart of Rocky Mountain Traders is intentional formulation.
Every ingredient we use serves a clear purpose. Nothing is added based off trends or to reduce cost. We don't use fillers, additives, and over-formulation — because skin doesn’t need more, it needs better.
Montana beef tallow is the foundation of our products because it closely mirrors the skin’s natural lipid structure, allowing it to nourish deeply without disruption. When paired thoughtfully with other supportive ingredients, it creates skincare that feels balanced, nourished, and calms over time.
This approach allows our products to support the skin barrier rather than challenge it.
FOUNDER-LED & FAITH GUIDED
Jaden and Skylee Dennis founded Rocky Mountain Traders after Skylee spent seven years navigating persistent acne and an industry that often promised solutions but left her skin more compromised.
After many conventional, expert-recommended products failed to help, they began turning back to simple, traditional ingredients like goat milk and beef tallow. The first soap they made became a turning point, as her skin began to find balance after years of disruption.
Throughout that season, their Christian faith played a central role — shaping how they approached skincare, stewardship, and service to others.
It reinforced a belief that the body is intentionally designed and best supported through thoughtful nourishment, working with God's design, rather than excess or force.
Each formulation reflects that conviction, balancing tradition, experience, and respect for how skin naturally functions. Every product represents a real problem they faced and a gap they felt called to fill.
Each formulation is a solution to a real problem.
Rocky Mountain Traders skincare is meant to become part of a daily ritual — for those who value clean living, long-term health of the body, and care for the land that sustains us.
REGENERATIVE STEWARDSHIP
Our commitment to stewardship extends beyond formulation and into how our ingredients are raised.
We are building a regenerative Icelandic sheep ranch, based in south west Montana, guided by practices that prioritize soil health, animal welfare, and long-term land regeneration.
Icelandic sheep are well suited to Montana’s climate and offer exceptional fiber and delicious meat, making them a natural fit for our long term vision.
In addition to our own ranch, we partner with regenerative Montana ranches that share our values. These relationships allow us to source responsibly and bring to market goods that would otherwise be wasted. By prioritizing whole-animal utilization, we honor the animal, reduce waste, and support land stewards who care deeply for their animals and ecosystems.
Our role is to help bring these thoughtfully raised ingredients and goods to market—ensuring they are created with care, respect, and transparency. It is a slower way of doing business, but it's a non negotiable.
Stewardship is not a marketing term to us.
It is a responsibility.
