Dr. B’s Hand Balm began with Dr. Mary B, a veterinarian, who knew firsthand how demanding daily work could be on her hands. Between years of veterinary work, constant hand washing, and long hours in the garden, Dr. B wanted something more substantial than the lotions she had been using.

So she began formulating her own balm—testing ingredients, adjusting ratios, and eventually developing the two formulas we offer today: Kokum Butter and Shea Butter. Each small batch is still handmade and poured in Central California using carefully selected organic ingredients.

What began as something made for her own hands has grown into a small, local business shared with the community. From online orders to local pop-ups—including a Mother’s Day event in May of 2026—Dr. B enjoys meeting the people who use her balm and sharing something she genuinely believes in.

Small batch. Organic ingredients. Made with purpose.
