About

Mission

Established in 2010, The Mod Cabin offers premium grooming products and all-purpose soaps using only naturally sourced ingredients, all handcrafted in Boulder, CO. We formulate amazing products using only healthy, naturally sourced ingredients that everyone can use, with scents inspired by the outdoors. Our hope is that people feel a little closer to nature while using our products during their daily grooming routine.

You can be confident that our freshly made products provide nourishment for your skin and hair and do not contain any parabens, phthalates, sulfates, or synthetics. Our packaging is compostable and recyclable, and we avoid plastics whenever possible. We handcraft our products in small batches to ensure quality and consistency, and we take great joy in crafting products that we genuinely believe in and use every day.

Design

Our design inspiration comes from a love of Rocky Mountain living and Mid Century Modern design. Our logo features a funky little cabin with a skillion roof, a favorite design element of mid-century modern homes, with mountains in the background. A place that is both warm and modern that we’d love to call home.

Our packaging design was inspired by medicinal bottles and other toiletry items from the 1930s through the 1950s. Items that you may have found in your grandparents’ medicine cabinet. The simplicity and practicality of these designs are impactful and conjure thoughts of reliability and familiarity. We know you’ll come to rely on and trust our fine grooming products, and we hope our purposeful packaging inspires a bit of nostalgia in you.

Company

We’re a small company with three employees, which operates out of a small warehouse in Lafayette, CO. The Mod Cabin started out in a single room of my home in 2010. Business continued to grow and in early 2014 I needed a larger space and a couple of extra people to help out, so I moved operations to a small house nearby, which we worked out of until 2020. Our goal is to do no harm to the great outdoors we enjoy by sourcing sustainable ingredients and using low plastic packaging that is compostable and recyclable.

What we’re most proud of, however, is our diverse customer base. Our customers are scientists, lawyers, hunters, and veterans, MMA fighters, and website designers, from different backgrounds, with different ideals. We appreciate you and all of your differences, and we think it’s pretty neat that (in a small way) our products are a common thread linking us all.
