Carmex Classic Lip Balm

Carmex is a globally recognized lip care brand that originated in the United States during the 1930s. It was invented by Alfred Woelbing on his family's farm in Franklin, Wisconsin. For decades, the product was known for being hand-filled into its iconic jars and sold through a word-of-mouth reputation before expanding into the tube format seen today.

The brand remains under the ownership of the founding family through Carma Laboratories, Inc. Unlike many personal care brands that have been acquired by large global conglomerates, Carmex has maintained its status as a family-owned business. The product is primarily manufactured in the United States, specifically in Wisconsin, adhering to the original focus on quality control and traditional formulations that have made it a staple in pharmacies and grocery stores worldwide.
