About Badger
Badger has been making USDA certified organic balms, sunscreens, and bug repellents in Gilsum, New Hampshire since 1995, a family-owned B Corp rooted in the small village where founder Bill Whyte first mixed his original healing balm.
Heritage & History
Bill Whyte was a carpenter working long winters in New Hampshire when he began experimenting with natural balm formulations to heal his cracked, dry hands. His original recipe — beeswax, olive oil, and essential oils — worked so well that he began giving jars to friends and coworkers. In 1995 he founded W.S. Badger Company in Gilsum, a small village in Cheshire County, and began selling the balm commercially under a hand-drawn label featuring the badger that would become the brand's enduring mascot.
Badger grew as a family business in the truest sense: Bill's wife Katie took over leadership as CEO, and their daughters Rebecca and Emily grew up in the company and now hold senior roles. The company earned B Corporation certification and has maintained USDA Certified Organic status across its product line, standards that reflect the values Bill established when he first mixed a batch of healing balm in his New Hampshire kitchen.
Made in Gilsum, New Hampshire
Every Badger product is formulated and manufactured at the company's facility in Gilsum, New Hampshire, a rural community of about 800 people. The Gilsum operation handles raw ingredient sourcing verification, small-batch formulation, filling, labeling, and quality control for the full range of balms, mineral sunscreens, bug repellents, and sleep balms. USDA Certified Organic certification requires strict documentation of every ingredient and every production step, and Badger maintains that certification across its entire product line.
Badger's manufacturing philosophy emphasizes simplicity: short ingredient lists, no synthetic fragrances or petrochemicals, and no ingredients that cannot be traced to a natural source. The New Hampshire facility employs workers from the surrounding Monadnock Region and operates as the economic anchor of a small community that might otherwise have little manufacturing employment. Badger's combination of organic certification, B Corp status, and New Hampshire manufacturing makes it one of the most transparent and locally grounded personal care brands in the country.
