The Woods Tallow Salve
1oz
Made with Wildcrafted Spruce Resin from our Central Alberta forests and White Pine Needles from Eastern Canada. We let these gifts from the trees slowly infuse into our Grass-Fed, Pasture-Raised Tallow to extract all the skin-loving goodness. Jojoba Oil and Beeswax make this an ultra-nourishing salve that smells of the deep woods.
What is spruce resin? Spruce resin (or spruce sap) is the golden or amber coloured runny sap the tree produces to heal over “wounds.” The sticky resin acts as a "bandaid" by sealing over wounds to the tree, (like a broken branch), and does the same for skin.
Spruce resin has been used for ages for skin irritations like bug bites, cuts, burns, and extra dry patches. Spruce resin's anti-inflammatory properties help calm redness and inflammation and soothe the skin.
White Pine is high in Vitamin C and contains inflammatory and antifungal properties.
How We Use: Apply this deeply nourishing salve to minor wounds such as scrapes, bites, and burns to help calm inflamed skin. Use as a spot treatment for acne, bug bites, cuticles, or cracked skin. The 1oz tin is the perfect size for a purse or bag.
