Our story

Tired of
looking tired.

I'm Davis Vaughn. I started Buff Balm.

I'm a college student and entrepreneur who works a minimum of 12 hours a day. The reality? I was wiped. And I looked like it too.

One morning, staring at my tired face in the mirror, I thought: why isn't there something caffeinated that makes me look awake too?

That question became an obsession. I study manufacturing engineering, with an emphasis on chemistry. So I started formulating. 1% caffeine by weight. Something you scoop, rub in and forget about.

The first time I tested it, I looked more awake. Friends noticed. Word spread.

What it's for

Buff Balm is for people who put in the work and don't want to look wrecked for it. The 5 am lift. The night shift. Finals week. The school run.

It isn't a routine. It's 60 seconds.

— Davis, Founder of Buff Balm

The first product: Caffeinated Face Balm

The mission

Make the mirror match the work.

Caffeine. Not a routine.
Every athlete. Every shift.

Train hard.
Reset harder.

60 seconds. Face, lips, sleep. Done.
