Heritage & History
Badger Company was founded in 1995 in Gilsum, New Hampshire by Bill Whyte, a carpenter who had developed badly cracked hands and combined olive oil, beeswax, and essential oils into a healing balm. He started selling it from the back of his truck at craft fairs and found a market of people who wanted effective natural personal care without synthetic additives.
Badger became one of the first personal care companies to achieve USDA Certified Organic status and is also a certified B Corporation, meeting rigorous standards for social and environmental performance. Family-owned, Gilsum-operated, for 30 years.
Made in Gilsum, New Hampshire
Every Badger product is manufactured at the company's facility in Gilsum, New Hampshire — a small town of fewer than 1,000 people in the Monadnock region. The manufacturing happens in a converted building where the Whyte family and their Gilsum neighbors hand-pour, fill, and label every product.
Badger mineral sunscreens use non-nano zinc oxide as the active ingredient, without synthetic UV absorbers that have raised concerns about reef damage and hormone disruption. The sunscreens are EWG verified and reef-safe certified. For families who want organic personal care with the highest level of certification from an American family business, Badger provides 30 years of Gilsum-made integrity. Natural personal care that started as a carpenter's hand balm.
