Badger was started by carpenter/herbalist/storyteller Bill Whyte (aka Badger Bill) and family in the back room of their home in 1995 in New Hampshire just trying to keep his hands soft.
They do their best to use ingredients that are whole, fresh and as "Close to the Source" as they are able.

They use exceptionally fine botanicals such as Organic Madagascar Vanilla, Wild African Shea Butter, and fragrant Golden Yellow Beeswax from around the world and especially soothing Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil from southern Spain. They combine these at low temperature, in small batches and blend them to perfection into creamy, dreamy, naturally pleasant Agents of Good.

They never use chemicals, preservatives, synthetics, GMO's or any of the other bad stuff that you read so much about. Badger ingredients are as close to their natural source as they can get and they are rich in complex vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and anti-oxidants. You can feel, sense and smell the difference. Badger Balms makes a wonderful collection of balms and salves which are 100% natural, parabens and chemical free with a minimum of 70% organic ingredients in every one.
