Enrich your skin with the wild-harvested Balsam Poplar buds, captured in this luxurious body oil. Soothing and nourishing, it can alleviate a variety of skin issues such as bug bites, rashes, dryness, sunburn, psoriasis, and eczema.  Balsam Poplar resin, renowned for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, is perfect for relieving tired muscles and stiff joints. Carefully infused for six months in organic olive oil, the amber resin extracted from the buds imparts a delectable aroma of honey, caramel, and musk to this nourishing oil.

Our approach to gathering botanicals from the wilderness is with utmost care. During late winter and early spring, we head to the forest to collect the precious buds from fallen trees and branches. Wildcrafting requires patience, respect, and adherence to our protocols. We hope you appreciate the unique nature of these botanicals and our sustainable harvesting process.

Ingredients

The resin of the Poplar buds is by far one our choice trees medicines to work with. We spend a fair amount of time in the late winter wandering the forest around the Telkwa ranges to find fallen trees and branches to harvest the buds.
