Dr. Doug originally created this company to help people that he’s encountered throughout his OCR (Obstacle Course Racing) journey. As the idea blossomed into the Dr. Doug’s Miracle Balms brand, Doug continued wanting to help people. Thus, he created different lines of balms with different ingredients to help achieve the three main goals of Dr. Doug’s Balms: Protect, Heal, & Restore.
