Salves
Herbal salves built for hands that work outside. Beeswax, plant oils, and pine resin gathered here in Idaho — the same formulas that have been working for a hundred years, because the chemistry hasn’t changed. Made in small batches in Nampa, poured warm, and sealed in tins that fit a pocket. Garden season through the split-knuckle months. Ships anywhere in the country.

Devil’s Bedstead Salve — Frankincense
The Devil's Bedstead is a real peak in the Pioneer Mountains — nearly twelve thousand feet of bare rock over Wildhorse Canyon. Somebody looked at it a hundred-some years ago and decided that's where the devil sleeps. We hung that name on a tin of frankincense, which people have been burning in temples and working into their skin for four thousand years. A sacred resin under a devil's name. We think both sides would find it funny. Resin infused into plant oils, set with beeswax, poured warm into a tin that fits a pocket. Small batch. Nampa, Idaho

Naked Springs Salve — Unscented
Named the way it's made: nothing on. Beeswax and plant oils. That's the whole list. No essential oil, no fragrance, no reason for your skin to argue with it. This is the tin that goes in the truck in October and stays there through the split-knuckle months. It doesn't smell like anything. It isn't supposed to. Small batch, poured warm, sealed in a pocket tin. Nampa, Idaho.

Slippery Gulch Salve — Comfrey & Peppermint
Some places got named by surveyors. Some got named by whoever fell down first. Slippery Gulch is the second kind. This is the tin that goes on cold — that's the peppermint, and it's the whole reason it exists. Comfrey gets infused into the oil slow, the way you'd infuse anything you didn't want to rush. Then beeswax, then peppermint, then it sets. Seasonal, because comfrey is seasonal. We make it when the plant is up in our beds and we stop when it isn't. Small batch. Nampa, Idaho.
