New York, New York – The American Choice Awards (America’s Largest Consumer Vote) today announced that Badger Balm has won the National Best Brand Award in the Natural Skin Care category. They say necessity is the mother of invention, and W.S. Badger Company is a prime example. The Family-owned, family-friendly company was started in 1995 by Bill Whyte, a carpenter working in the cold winters of New Hampshire. Bill’s hands were constantly cracking making his carpentry work uncomfortable and often painful. So he went to work in the family kitchen, and the amazing, healing, homemade concoction he created was so effective and useful that word soon spread far and wide. Now the company has grown to over 100 products and 60 employees, but “Badger Bill” still runs the show as CEO, along with his wife Katie (COO), and their two daughters Emily and Rebecca handle Sales & Marketing and Innovation & Sustainability respectively. Badger’s rigorous standards require sourcing only the finest ingredients and essential oils in creating their line of healing balms, safe mineral sunscreens, lip balms, bug repellents, skin moisturizers, and other personal care products. Their certified organic and all-natural products have earned a reputation with millions of Americans – to work, smell, and feel great. With Badger’s social & environmental initiatives and charitable giving, folks feel great buying them, too. Evidently the success hasn’t gone to the Badger family’s head. “I’m not motivated by selling a lot of stuff and making a lot of money. I’m motivated by enjoying coming to work, having a healthy work environment, employing people so they can take good care of their families and making the world a better place,” said Bill.
More than 1,500 brands are judged by American consumers across 190 categories. Finalists and Winners will be announced throughout the year in important Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) categories such as Food and Beverage, Beauty, Household Care, Health and Personal Care, & Kids and Pets.
