Inside the Brand: Badger Healthy Body Care

The Badger brand is synonymous with care; not only are they committed to making products that help you to care for your body, but for your family and the planet as well. Their commitment extends past just offering only the best Certified Organic products to their customers, but to creating fair and ethical conditions for their employees as well. And knowing that they treat each other well makes it easy to see just how much care they put into each and every one of the products they sell.

What was the initial mission of the Badger brand, and how has it evolved over the years?

Badger has been making quality, all natural and certified organic body care products that feel, smell, and work great since 1995. Family-owned and run, Badger was born when Badger Bill, a carpenter at the time, discovered a recipe of natural ingredients strong enough to soothe his rough, dry and cracked hands. Badger’s mission then and now is to create healing products that work, while nurturing a healthy business with ethical and charitable principles. We run a business that is fun, fair and profitable; where money is fuel, not a goal; and where our vision for a healthier world finds expression through the way we work and through the way we treat each other and the people we serve. Badger is also a certified Benefits Corporation, which means we meet rigorous standards of transparency as well as social and environmental performance.
