This program educates today’s teens on the fundamentals of running a socially responsible business. Having an entrepreneurial mindset is an advantage for teens in our fast-changing world. Keeping it Local
Our locally-made products are handcrafted by teens infusing their garden grown herbs with pure essential oils. We use organic, sustainable and local ingredients whenever possible. The full line includes natural soaps, relaxing shea balms, non-aluminum deodorants and soothing lip balms. Teaching Social Responsibility
We also embed the ‘Social’ into entrepreneurship with the BOGO Project. With every purchase of a Ruckus body care product, we donate a product to an organization that serves people in need. Buy a product—we Give a product! Cool idea huh? We think so! Use our products to make a difference in our community.

Wow, what a day!

We held a lip balm-making workshop at Google’s Family Day event, where our teens taught kids and families how to make their own lip balm, complete with a custom Google label.

The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. One of our favorite parts was problem-solving how to scale down our usual process. We normally make batches of about 200 lip balms, so we designed a custom 3D-printed tray to make smaller batches of 10 at a time.

We’d love to explore more opportunities like this. Email [email protected] if you’re interested!

Grateful for our Chicago community! 💙

These past two weekends at and were our most successful yet — over 700 customers supported us by buying teen-made products.

The real credit goes to our teens, who worked hard to make every product and showed up to bring the energy and run these festivals.

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported them!
