Heritage & History
Ursa Major was founded in 2010 in Woodstock, Vermont by Oliver Sweatman and Emily Doyle with a clear mission: create effective skincare and grooming products using only naturally derived and certified-organic ingredients, with nothing in the formula that didn't need to be there. The brand emerged as part of the clean beauty movement but distinguished itself through an emphasis on efficacy — clean formulations that actually worked as well as or better than conventional alternatives.
Vermont's ethos of craft, quality, and environmental stewardship provided the perfect cultural context for a brand built on these principles. Ursa Major earned a following among men and women who wanted skincare rooted in botanical science rather than synthetic chemistry.
