Here’s how you can become a Ruckus Intern!
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 ‘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!
