Basics your whole family loves.
Good from lips to toes — and just about everywhere in between. A short list of real ingredients, gentle enough for the whole house.
One short list.
A hundred uses.
here's where families reach for Bear Basics most.
Chapped lips, dry cuticles, even unruly brows — a 0.5 oz tube with 3x the balm of a standard chapstick.
Elbows, knees, shins, hands — grass-fed tallow or coconut oil that soaks in soft, never greasy.
Aluminum-free, baking-soda-free odor control that glides on clean and won't leave you itchy.
Soften a scratchy beard or smooth skin after a shave — face, legs, and bikini line included.
Fragrance-free moisture made for wind-chapped cheeks and dry little hands — simple enough for the whole crew.
Rough heels, dry elbows, hardworking hands — concentrated balm that stays put right where skin needs it.
Light, fresh, plant-based.
Cold-pressed coconut oil for a clean, breathable feel. Plant oils + beeswax for everyday lips and skin.

What's inside + whyFour or five things. That's the whole list.
Most balms hide a dozen ingredients you'd need a chemistry degree to read, and many deodorants lean on aluminum and baking-soda fillers. We went the other way — a short list of real, recognizable basics, each chosen for what it actually does.
No fillers, no synthetic fragrance, no parabens or phthalates — and our deodorant skips the aluminum and baking soda entirely. Fewer ingredients, chosen with care, gentle enough for the whole family head to toe.
Grass-Fed Beef Tallow
Rendered slow from grass-fed beef. Its fatty-acid profile is remarkably close to our own skin's, so it sinks in clean and nourishes deeply — rich without feeling greasy.
Organic Coconut Oil
Light, fresh, and naturally conditioning. Our formula pairs plant oils with beeswax (not vegan) to soften lips and skin with a clean, breathable finish that never feels heavy.
Organic Beeswax
Nature's protective seal. It gives our balms their firm, travel-ready set and locks in moisture with a breathable barrier that shields against wind and cold.
Organic Castor Oil
Pressed from the castor bean. It gives our balms a gentle, cushiony slip and a soft natural sheen, helping everything glide on smooth and stay put.
Vitamin E Oil
A naturally derived antioxidant. It helps keep our oils fresh on the shelf and adds a little extra conditioning for thirsty, hardworking skin.
The short list vs. the usual list
Most balms, sticks, and lotions quietly pad their formulas with synthetics and fillers. Here's what turns up in a lot of conventional products — and what you'll never find anywhere in our line.
Just a short list of real, food-grade ingredients — nothing to look up, nothing to worry about.
Thoughtful to the end of the tube.
We design every format around how families actually use it — easy to apply and made to travel.
A bigger tube, on purpose
Our larger balm holds more and its wide tip reaches well past lips — smooth it over the backs of hands, elbows, and dry patches, not just your pout.
Twist-up + mess-free
Sticks and tubes apply right where you want them — no dipping, no greasy fingers, and easy enough for little hands to do themselves.
Built to travel
Firm, spill-proof formats that toss into a bag, pocket, or glovebox and keep up with the whole family's day.
Started in our kitchen, for our own kids.
We couldn't find balms and lotions simple enough to feel good about using on our family — so we made our own. Every Bear Basics product is still small-batch, honest, and named for exactly what's in it.
