The Concentrated Goodness of Nature
Badger products are super-safe, super-comforting blends of fresh, whole, organic, extra-virgin oils, waxes, exotic butters, herbal extracts & pure essential oils. And nothing else! Badger Balms and Oils contain no chemicals, synthetics, parabens, GMOs or any of the other dubious stuff you’ve read so much about. Just good, wholesome, blends of concentrated goodness. We have also gone Certified Organic!
Badger supports organic, sustainable agriculture through all of their purchasing practices. Organic buying means healthy air, healthy water, healthy earth and healthy people. For example, they purchase organically grown and processed olive oil (their #1 ingredient) from an organic farmers' cooperative in Spain. They use enough olive oil to represent approximately 10,000 naturally cultivated trees basking in the sun.
Badger donates 7% of their before tax profits to non-profit organizations which focus on the healthcare & welfare of children (including environmental education), local organizations serving the local community and the promotion of peace. On a daily basis, Badger composts and recycles in a concerted effort to reduce waste and our impact on the environment.
We discovered the Badger line through someone who had been experiencing extreme sleeping problems, and found great relief with the Badger Sleep Balm. We decided to try the products and have been very impressed with the quality and with the company itself. The products are created right here in New Hampshire. They do no animal testing and many of the products are very effective in helping to alleviate the discomforts of our four footed companions as well as our own. Most of the ingredients used in the Badger products are organic or otherwise ecologically cultivated and produced. The remedies are formulated based on principles that have proven safe and effective for thousands of years.
Badger tins are made from 78% post consumer recycled material.
Their catalogs are printed on 100% recycled paper. The paper is oxygen bleached and printed with earth friendly dyes.
Their office paper is made from 100% post consumer pulp produced in a chlorine free pulping and bleaching process. As a company they are getting more efficient at using one-side-used scrap paper for inter-office use.
They use local artisans and suppliers whenever possible.
Badger does not test on animals.
Badger tins are recyclable. They are made of "tinned steel," which we commonly refer to as tin cans. (Some people save them and use them to organize buttons, drill bits, etc.)
Their ingredients are 100% natural and more than 70% of all ingredients used in Badger products are organic. Other remaining ingredients are ecologically harvested or wild-crafted.
Badger is committed to improving our environmental business practices. To that end they work closely with a volunteer Environmental Concerns Committee whose purpose is to instill environmental awareness in all business decisions and help the company grow ecologically.
