ethically wild-harvested pitch of Piñon Pine and Ponderosa Pine trees in
a Base of Organic Olive Oil with a touch of Organic Jojoba Oil --

Pinon Pine (Pinus edulis) -- Not
only does it smell lovely, but Piñon Pine Pitch has been used by Native
Americans for generations to heal and soothe the skin -- It has be used
externally on scrapes, sores, minor burns, bug bites, Eczema, diaper
rash, for arthritis relief, and to draw out splinters and other foreign
objects. Piñon Pines (Pinus edulis) grow only in the Southwestern United
States and Mexico. The pitch we use is self-collected in the Mountains
of New Mexico while rock-hounding. No Trees were harmed in the
collecting of this Pitch.
Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa) -- In
Italian ponderosa is the feminine form of ponderoso, which means strong,
powerful. Ponderosa pine has been employed medicinally by several
native North American Indian tribes for centuries, who valued it for its
antiseptic and vulnerary properties - using it to treat a range of skin
problems, cuts, wounds, burns etc. Ponderosa pines are one of America’s
most abundant tree species. It is a mainstay in the lumber industry.
The pitch used was self-collected in the Mountains of New Mexico while
rock-hounding. No Trees were harmed in the collecting of this Pitch.
Himalayan
Cedarwood Oil (Cedrus deodora) -- The use of Cedarwood oil, or Cedar
oil, dates back centuries. Its warm, woody scent offers numerous
benefits to the user. Cedarwood oil is considered a grounding aroma that
promotes feelings of vitality and wellness that promotes relaxation,
and calms the mind. The wood is often used as temple incense by Tibetan
Buddhists. Spiritually, Cedar wood is used for meditational purposes,
helping one to connect one’s energy to the energy of the earth, for
protection, purification, and inviting psychic energy.
