Before I founded StinkBalm, I was a Registered Nurse working in the emergency department. Like many healthcare professionals, I struggled with the intense and often unavoidable odors that come with patient care.

I tried everything; room sprays, masks that felt impersonal, heavy menthol salves, and even a few questionable “nurse hacks.” Nothing was truly effective, discreet, and practical for real-world use.

In 2018, I decided to create the solution I wished existed. After careful experimentation and refinement, I developed a formula that was effective, portable, and invisible when worn.

My friends,family, and coworkers encouraged me to sell my product. Word spread and what started as a personal solution became something others relied on.

That’s how StinkBalm was born.
