A traditional boreal remedy, slow-crafted from wild-harvested balsam poplar buds gathered in the heart of winter. With over a decade of practice behind each batch, this salve carries the deep, resinous scent of the northern forest. Balsam poplar is known for its soothing and protective properties —often used as a kind of forest first aid to ease sore muscles and joints, while supporting the healing of minor cuts, scrapes, and irritated skin. Its natural resins form a gentle barrier, helping to lock in moisture and protect while your body repairs. Rich and restorative, it’s also a go-to for dry, cracked hands and weather-worn skin.
