Sawtooth Meadow Bar — Lavender & Chamomile Soap
The meadows under the Sawtooths get a few weeks. Snow comes off in June, the wildflowers run hard through July, and by August the show is over. Nothing up there blooms on a schedule that suits anybody.
Neither does this bar. The chamomile gets infused into the oils while it’s actually blooming in our beds — a few weeks a summer — and lavender goes over the top. Then it’s done until next year. That’s not a marketing decision. It’s just when the flowers are here.
When the batch is gone, it’s gone.
Cold process, cured six weeks. Nampa, Idaho.

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

Big Burn Bar — Pine Tar & Saindoux Soap
In August 1910, a fire took three million acres of Idaho and Montana in two days. They still just call it the Big Burn. It rewrote how this country thinks about wildfire, and up in the panhandle you can still find the scars. Pine tar is what pine gives up under heat — the tree's answer to fire. This bar is pine tar and saindoux, which is rendered lard, and we're not going to dress that up. It's been the working man's soap for two hundred years because nothing about the formula needed improving. It's dark. It lathers like it means it. It smells like a fire that just went out. Cold process, cured six weeks. 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.
