Our Story

A Family Company,
Hand Crafted

Bucks Balm began long before it ever had a label.

The Beginning

A Name Passed Down

The name Buck has lived in our family for generations — passed down from my grandfather, to my father. The nickname is something I inherited, and now get to pass along to my sons.

To us it has represented consistency, craftsmanship, and the belief that what you do and what you make should be of high quality — and should benefit family, friends, and community.

How We Make It

Chosen With Intention

Every ingredient — and every ratio — was chosen with intention. The final product is the result of years of study, refinement, and a commitment to bringing a truly unique, high-quality skin balm to you, our extended family.

  • 100% grass-fed, grass-finished tallow
  • Organic, unrefined beeswax from small domestic apiaries
  • Cold- or expeller-pressed carrier oils
  • Single-origin, steam-distilled essential oils
  • Never tested on animals
