I may have to write the manufacturer to complain. There appears to be no badger in the product whatsoever. From http://www.badgerbalm.com/p-14-badger-balm.aspx

Ingredients: *Olea Europaea (Extra Virgin Olive) Oil, *Cera Alba (Beeswax), *Ricinus Communis (Castor) Oil, *Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe) Extract, and Essential Oils of Betula Lenta (Birch) and *Gaultheria Procumbens (Wintergreen).

Here is their story:

I was going to call that first product "Bear Paw", but the name was already taken! At first I was disappointed. Then the name "Badger" came to me, as if in a dream, and I knew it was the right choice. The Badger is a healing totem: The Root Gatherer, with a deep knowledge of the secrets of the root and herb kingdoms; fierce and effective in defense of the self and family and persistent in overcoming obstacles, successfully seeing projects through to the end.

Hee hee! Great name!
You could also use unrefined shea butter which is magnificent stuff, also.

Ha! It might seem like a strange name for a balm but guess what; there's a particular type of feather named 'badger' by fly tyers. It is a hackle or saddle feather (yes, Virginia there is a part of a rooster called a saddle and no you can't ride one) that has a black center followed by white outlined in black, a coloration similar to a badger's pelt. Sorry, no picture at this point so go ahead and dog me.

That badger looks more like a racoon - a goofy one at that. Not like the ones that own my backyard.
