What Are Your Favorite Services at Bare Necessities?

“I tan because it is relaxing and I like having color. I work a 2 week hitch on the oil rig and I am constantly covered in diesel fuel and grease. When I come home I want to be clean.”

What Are Your Favorite Products at Bare Necessities?

Burt's Bees Citrus Spice Exfoliating Shower Soap

WHY IT WORKS: Spice up your shower experience. Ground herbs, almonds, and spices provide gentle yet invigorating exfoliation of dead skin cells. This mild abrasive action will thoroughly clean skin and pores leaving the skin refreshed and tingling. Scented with a classic blend of essential oils including orange, patchouli and cinnamon.

HOW IT WORKS: Simply rub the bar on wet skin to cleanse and exfoliate in one easy step.

Why Jimmy uses it: I like the scent; it removes the grease and does not dry out my skin like lava soaps.

Burt's Bees Avocado Butter Pre-Shampoo Hair Treatment

WHY IT WORKS: Between perming, coloring and styling, your hair can look dry and damaged. Avocado, nettles and rosemary help promote healthy hair growth. You’ll love the glossy, healthy results.

HOW IT WORKS: Wet hair completely. Massage one teaspoon of Avocado Butter Pre-Shampoo Hair Treatment into the scalp and comb it through to the ends of the hair. Leave on for 15 minutes or more. Then wash with hot water and shampoo. Rinse and repeat if necessary.

Why Jimmy uses it: 12 hours/day for 14 days I am in a hard hat. It dries out my scalp and I get dandruff. This shampoo helps my scalp and I like it better than head and shoulders because it leaves my hair smelling funny.

Burt's Bees Hand Salve

WHY IT WORKS: The perfect moisturizer for hard working hands: everyone loves it from farmers to people who gesticulate. It’s our most intensive hand treatment with ingredients that offer healing benefits. Almond oil moisturizes. Rosemary stimulates circulation and lavender helps prevent scarring. What hands wouldn’t love it?

HOW IT WORKS: Apply our healing salve to hands as often as needed.

Why Jimmy uses it: It smells good, and it works better than utter balm. My hands are constantly wet in mud, cold and chemicals when they swell and crack it restricts my hand movement.

Jimmy uses Burt’s Bees product because of the all-natural product line.

“To minimize the impact of being a drillers chain hand and the poison my body takes in after 2 weeks at work. I use Burt’s Bees products because they work. I do not like lava soaps and chemicals to remove the grit and grime I bring home from work. I work on the floor of the rig and it is a dangerous position to be in. The rig I am on is older and requires old school rough necking making the job twice as hard as working on a newer rig.”

Jimmy and Jackie have been married since August 14th 2004.

Jimmy went in to Bare Necessities one day to buy his wife, Jackie, a gift. Jackie soon became a regular customer at Bare Necessities. Jimmy and Jackie had been discussing for months prior about buying into some kind of small business ownership but could not decide what they wanted to do. When Bare Necessities came up for sale from the previous owner in 2005, Jackie convinced Jimmy that is was a viable business and they could make it successful. Jackie and Jimmy have made great improvements in the business and are enjoying the rewards. The community of Cody Wyoming has received Jackie’s friendly disposition well and are really happy to be enjoying the full service of Bare Necessities product available to both men and women.

Today, Jimmy jokes with his friends about buying his wife a gift she liked so much that they bought the whole store. Jimmy says his wife is very happy in her new business and he works to support her in the hope that their “Men’s Only” product line grows as customers needs in the community grow.

Bare Necessities in Cody Wyoming wants to accommodate the need for “Men Only Products” giving men the option to benefit from quality products in personal grooming.
