Bathing Beauteas started in a UW class called Create A Company in 2015 with a mission to bring empower women through rest and wellness. Our tea baths are handmade using the finest locally-sourced ingredients and we partner with nonprofits to give back to survivors of sex trafficking. Our values are rooted in telling the stories of influential women in history as well as modern day women making history.

It began with an opportunity for education and entrepreneurialism: ENTRE 472, an undergraduate course where students created companies in a semester. Our initial team came together out of a mutual love for natural beauty and a goal to impact women positively. After meeting over multiple cups of tea and validating our idea, we landed upon the tea bath as our first product line. However, our vision goes far beyond the bath. We’ve always believed in the power of a great story. We believe every woman has a unique story to tell and we aim to help her find a voice in the community through our products and philosophy.

We partner with local nonprofits focused on women empowerment to develop mutually beneficial partnerships. Our growth as a company happens simultaneously with our impact on women in need. We handcraft our tea baths alongside women who are survivors of sex trafficking in the United States. Two years and counting, we have developed from learners to leaders who keep learning. The reality that women globally and locally are unable to access resources to better their lives is staggering. Yet, we know everyone can do something to empower someone else. This is why we exist: to tell stories of empowerment with our own lives and help you tell your's.
