From Science Class Experiment to Family Legacy: The NCM Story

What began as a middle school science project has blossomed into NCM, a leading manufacturer of safe and effective personal care products. Our founder, Kyle LaFond, witnessed firsthand the questionable ingredients students brought to school in their personal care items. Driven by a desire for healthier options, he challenged his students to create their own natural alternatives.

This spark of innovation ignited a passion within Kyle. Years of experimentation and formula refinement followed, leading to the birth of American Provenance in the heart of his family's fourth-generation farm. Starting in an updated machine shed, Kyle poured his dedication into crafting handmade products with better-for-you ingredients.

Today, NCM carries on this legacy, operating from a modern facility in southern Wisconsin, near the original family farm. We remain committed to Kyle's vision, meticulously crafting personal care products that are both safe and effective. The journey began with a teacher's challenge and a student's curiosity, and evolved into a brand built on family values and a commitment to your well-being.
