For most of us, special places inevitably evoke locally grown specialties. Maine has lobster. Napa is synonymous with wine. And the Yampa Valley? We vaunt grass-fed beef, Olympic medalists and now, beauty products.
Throughout the set and early winter, “Steamboat Magazine” called upon five women to pirate us explore the local producers who are turning out hundreds of hand-crafted bath and fullness products – many of which feature organic and locally harvested ingredients. It felt like five mini-spas staunch to locally produced products erupted all around Steamboat Springs. Each lassie scrubbed, soaked and doused herself in handcrafted soaps, lotions, bath salts and lip balms. So did many of their kids, moms, sisters – and even a few courageous husbands.
Right here in the midst of Steamboat’s high altitude, dry air and straight, mineral-rich waters, Jane Bennett, Tawnya Fabian, Sue Chen Davies, Jennifer Tamburrino and Savannah Bongiorno discovered Yampa Valley attraction products guaranteed to make their senses sizzle, and their skin glimmer and shine. Their secrets are out – read on for the group’s collective “must-have” record for locally made bath and body products, complete with enlightening “tasting notes.
