Where Every Bar, Jar, and Bottle Feels Like Home
At Colquitt Bath Co., every product is made with care, purpose, and a little Southern heart. Founded in 2011 by Patrina “Trina” Colquitt, our small-batch bath and body company started when Trina searched for gentle, natural solutions to her own sensitive skin. What began as handmade soaps and lotions grew into a beloved local brand known for quality, intention, and heart.
In July 2025, Stephanie Grimm, a loyal customer of over six years, took over the business. She couldn’t imagine life without her favorite Colquitt products and was thrilled to continue the legacy, keeping the same hometown charm and dedication to handmade skincare that Trina started.
Our products aren’t just made to smell good — they’re made to work for your skin. From our creamy, soothing Silky Milk Soap to our light, nourishing whipped body mousse, and our Yogurt and Milk & Honey lotions (scented and unscented), there’s something for everyone — babies to grandparents. Every bar, jar, and bottle is crafted with high-quality oils, milks, butters, and botanicals to nourish, soothe, and comfort skin naturally.
Visit our flagship store in May Branch Square, Fort Smith (look for the pink door) Tuesday–Friday 11 a.m.–6 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m.–4 p.m., or our location at Main Street Mercantile in Van Buren, Monday–Saturday.

I was raised among rows of plants at Neumeier Nursery, a Fort Smith family business that served our community for 54 years. Those roots taught me to grow where I’m planted—and to grow my own way.
In 2008, l opened L Designs Floral Studio, followed by an event venue, The Barn By Two Brothers, in 2015. Today, both businesses remain locally rooted, proudly serving Fort Smith through life’s celebrations, milestones, and everyday moments.
