Badger Balm

Badger is a family-owned company founded by Bill Whyte in 1995. The brand originated in Gilsum, New Hampshire, where it began as a way to soothe the cracked hands of a carpenter. Today, Badger remains a mission-driven, family-run enterprise that emphasizes organic and natural ingredients across its wide range of balms, sunscreens, and body oils.

All Badger products are manufactured in their solar-powered facility in New Hampshire, ensuring strict quality control and adherence to their ethical standards. The brand is well-known for being a certified B Corp and for its commitment to sustainable packaging and cruelty-free practices. Unlike many competitors in the personal care space, Badger has resisted acquisition by large conglomerates and continues to be owned and operated by the founding family.
