The 2024 batch is sold out! The 2025 batch will be available in October.
The cottonwood bud exudes a rich yellow and orange coloured fragrant resin in early Spring. This resin contains salicin, a natural compound known for its pain-relieving properties. It was used in the Balm of Gilead, one of the oldest plant-based healing remedies in the Middle East.
When blended with lavender, the resin transforms into a versatile balm. It is perfect for soothing the skin and easing discomfort.
We primarily harvest the buds from fallen branches on the forest floor and the infusion process begins immediately after harvest. The healing properties slowly get drawn out over the course of six months.
