About Us

Let’s face it, there are a LOT of products out there that DON’T WORK. After too many years of lip balms that chap, greasy salves, and lotions that did nothing for his hands, Jim Zwynenburg decided to take a step back. He brought back the ingredients that skincare used to have; rich butters, smooth oils, and local beeswax are brought together with flavors and fragrances to nourish and protect. Zwynenbalms are made to be an answer; tough enough for frostbitten and callused hands on the Trans Adirondack Trail, gentle enough for lips chapped by a so-called ‘medicated’ balm. Always made from local, natural products, our products have short ingredients lists because each part is vital and functional. Let us at Zwynenbalms share our experiences and our solutions.
