Hospitality Partnerships
We love helping hospitality businesses create unforgettable, authentic guest experiences. Our refillable vanity sets provide guests with luxurious (yet sustainable) amenities that will transform any washroom into a sumptuous, spa-like oasis. Perfect for boutique hotels, vacation rentals, and bed & breakfasts in New Mexico who are devoted to supporting local.
“True hospitality is a delicate balance of warmth and form. ”
The VR Difference
Stocking your vacation rental or BnB with our locally made, refillable guest amenities offers multiple advantages over cheaper national brands that package in plastic, ship from out of state, and prioritize profit over quality & safety of ingredients.
1. Elevated Guest Experience
Our amenities are made from high-quality, natural ingredients that are gentle on the skin and designed to evoke a restorative sensory experience for guests. Travelers are increasingly conscientious about what goes on their skin. Providing nontoxic, eco-conscious products shows you care about your guests' well-being and comfort.
2. Sustainability as a Selling Point
In 2023, a survey of over 33,000 travelers around the world found that the vast majority of those who travel (76%) are looking to do so in a more sustainable manner. Our refillable, earth-forward products significantly reduce single-use plastic as well as chemical waste entering our waterways, allowing you to showcase your lodging as an environmentally conscious choice. This aligns with the growing demand for sustainable travel, helping you attract eco-minded guests who appreciate your commitment to green practices.
3. Long-Term COST & Resource Efficiency
Our refillable system reduces ongoing costs by eliminating packaging waste. Instead of constantly restocking small, single-use plastic bottles, or purchasing plastic refill pouches, you’ll benefit from a closed-loop solution. This allows your dollars to go toward quality products, rather than virgin packaging, and can result in long term savings while maintaining a premium guest experience.
4. EnhancED Brand Image
Partnering with a local, sustainable brand reflects positively on your business’s image. More and more, consumers are wary of authenticity. Stating your commitment to sustainability isn’t enough, you have to prove it. Our vanity sets show your dedication to supporting local, reducing waste, and offering transparency & intentionality in your product choices.
5. Customization & Flexibility
Unlike big national brands, we have the ability to offer customized products tailored to your hotel/BnB’s theme or branding. Whether it’s custom scents, labeling, or packaging, our local presence gives you the flexibility to stand out in a competitive market while offering a personal touch that national brands can't match. Want us to use your own lavender or rosemary in your soap, or your logo on it’s label? We can make that happen!
6. Investment in Your Own Community
“Shop local” has become an overused call-to-action. Most view this as a good deed - a way to help out a struggling small business. But to fully grasp the magnitude of it’s effect on a local community, consider the stats:
When consumers spend $100 at a chain store, an average of $13 stays in the local community. When spent at a local business, that number rises to $48.
State & local governments generally cover ~75% of the cost of maintaining & improving local assets like water treatment & distribution facilities, libraries, parks, and public lands. Corrales has one of the highest gross receipts tax in the state, making small businesses like us a vital source of tax revenue for the county.
Local businesses create around 66% of private-sector jobs. Every $10 million spent at local businesses results in 57 LOCAL jobs. The same amount spent online at Amazon creates just 14 jobs (none of which are likely to be local).
Local spending is one of the most important sources of tax income for K-12 schools. Approximately 47% of school revenues come from state funds. Another 45% comes from local governments.
Bottomline: if you’re in New Mexico, stocking your guest spaces with our locally made amenities pays dividends for your own community in ways that out-of-state brands just can’t.

FAQs

Consider us the modern day milk man - we deliver products for guest use (like soap and lotion) in bulk glass jugs, straight to your door. You can purchase individual sink-top bottles from us or fill your own from your bulk jug.
When you’re ready for more, we’ll return to swap your glass growler for a freshly filled one. You refill your guest dispensers rather than purchasing new ones. We take back and sanitize empty jugs, keeping perfectly good containers in circulation.
This closed-looped system ensures finite resources are reused rather than recycled (or worse, sent to landfill). It also ensures your dollars are spent on safe, high quality products as opposed to virgin packaging.
-
While some large brands offer “bulk” refill pouches of product, these refill pouches are typically smaller than what we consider “bulk” and are rarely made of recycled or recyclable materials. Although they reduce plastic waste, they still contribute to landfill. And while less waste is good, zero waste is better!
Additionally, if the product itself is manufactured and shipped from out of state, your purchase doesn’t support NM jobs or local infrastructure, and is accompanied by greater shipping emissions.
-
We’ll deliver only when you’re ready for a refill. No automated subscriptions resulting in a surplus stockpile of product that might expire before you can use it. Simply call or email us when your stock is getting low!
If you want recurring deliveries on a set schedule, no problem!
-
Typically, no. As a values-driven business, our goal of reducing emissions is compromised when we ship heavy, liquid products outside of our state.
Additionally, as an oil & gas dependent state, we are devoted to strengthening New Mexico’s economy from revenue streams tied to clean energy rather than fossil fuels. By providing sustainably produced amenities to tourist-centric small businesses in our own state, we ensure consumer dollars flow back to our own farmers, makers, and communities.
Our exclusivity also ensures we don’t compete with small businesses just like us that exist outside of New Mexico. We’re rooting for the little guys and we hope you find one like us in your home state! Can’t find anything like us? Reach out and let’s chat to find a solution.

If you are a hospitality partner of ours, you also receive exclusive access to wholesale pricing for these items even if you don’t intend to resell them. Many hosts offer these items in welcome baskets or as guest appreciation gifts.
Please email us if you’d like to receive our current line sheet for wholesale offerings.
Hospitality partners receive discounted bulk pricing on our vanity sets as well as wholesale pricing on select products.
