balsam balm
Transport yourself to a spring day in the boreal forest. Wildcrafted spring balsam poplar buds are sustainably harvested from trees and branches that have fallen during winter storms, and solar infused in organic grapeseed oil to create this highly aromatic boreal favorite, packed with skin-soothing and protective properties. Poplar bud resin can protect against bacteria, target inflammation and redness, and may also relieve pain.
60 mL (2 oz) recyclable/reusable metal tin or biodegradable zero-waste paper tube
Apply to abrasions, minor wounds, burns, insect bites, rashes and irritations including razor burn or diaper rash. For sore muscles or arthritic joints, massage generously on these areas several times daily. Organic shea butter and vitamin E provide exceptional moisturizing and soothing benefits for skin needing extra care, such as those suffering from chronic or extremely dry skin conditions. A little goes a long way!
Also available in a convenient stick form. To dispense stick product, push upwards on bottom of paper tube. If balm slides back in during application, keep finger depressed in tube - these tubes do not have a locking mechanism like their plastic counterparts, which may be a slight inconvenience but a small price to pay for helping our environment by keeping plastics out of our landfills and waterways.
Please note: PROTECT FROM HEAT. This is a natural product containing organic plant butter. Should the product overheat or melt, place in a refrigerator to re-set and solidify. Storage in unstable temperatures may cause the product to develop a grainy texture - this in no way affects its usability, effectiveness or safety.

Balms and ointments shipped during summer months may soften or melt during transport. I may use additional insulation or cold packs to try to maintain temperatures, however, melting may not be preventable. Please consider ordering these items during cooler weather. If your balm or ointment arrives soft, place it in the refrigerator to solidify. Products containing natural butters like shea or cocoa may change texture and become grainy after melting. This does not affect their usability or safety.
Reviews
I take this with me whenever I go traveling or camping. It’s good for just about anything that could go wrong with your skin. I use it on dry elbows and knees, if I get any irritation or itching, it fixes things right up and smells amazing. I love the stick because it’s easy to use without needing to get any on my fingers, I have gone through a couple of these and it’s nice to be able to compost them too.
I take the stick everywhere and a quick swipe is great for irritations or bug bites or dry skin. It’s a perfect companion for my sensitive skin and rubs in leaving my skin moisturizer but not greasy. It really is spring in a tube!
