Bill
Whyte, CEO & Head Badger of the W.S. Badger Company, is an herbalist,

back to his first start-up - the weaving and selling of cloth pot holders
back when he was about 9 years old.
Bill
became a carpenter in the 80's and was the owner of White Light Builders
- a company focused on healthy, creative, non-toxic design and construction.
When Bill's fingers became severely cracked one bitterly cold New Hampshire
winter, he developed the formula for Badger Balm in his kitchen. His fingers
were healed fast and a business was born. Now in its 18th year, The W.S.
Badger Company is known for its safe effective sunscreens and for a wide
variety of simple, healthful balms sold worldwide. Badger occupies a fine
new building designed by Bill, where a committed crew of hardworking Badgers
formulate, fill, market and sell more than 80 Badger healthy bodycare products.
Badger serves a daily free organic lunch for all employees. They have a
babies-at-work program, a childcare center and an ecology center to promote
healthy, earthy living. Badger donates 10% of pre-tax profits to charitable
organizations with a special focus on the health, education and welfare
of children.
