Desert Icon

Creosote is a scent that sears itself in memory with the anticipation of electrified skies, churning winds, and a sudden rush of rain. Before the storm, the desert hums. The wind shifts and the air carries that unmistakable green, resinous scent of the creosote bush. When the rain comes, ozone, earth, and water mingle into something so deeply tied to the desert that those who know it feel it in their bones. Wild-harvested by our own hands from the Arizona Sonoran Desert.

Works wonders for cracked hands!

As someone who lives in a cold climate, this salve is amazing on those winter hands. Just use a tiny bit to help super dried, cracked hands that need moisture. I am such a fan of this product that I have given it as a gift to very happy recipients. I appreciate how it treats dry skin without being oily or greasy.

Pleasant surprise

When we bought our first little house we had a brick patio put in our backyard. Then we tackled the overhead roof project ourselves. This required painting layers of creosote on the posts on the parts that would be buried in the ground. It was a nasty, messy job and I did not care for the smell. So, when I saw different products in your shop boasting a creosote fragrance I was never tempted to try any of them. But then I read your description about how wonderful it was bc it was the smell of the dessert after a good rain I suddenly became very interested in trying some of your creosote products. I can't say I actually know what the dessert smells like after a drenching rain, I can say the fragrance is quite wonderful~subtle, fresh, clean, earthy. I decided to try this salve as I have been having problems with the tops of my hands since during the pandemic I washed my hands constantly and still wash them quite often. As a result the tops of my hands are rough feeling with scaly flaky skin. I've tried many hand lotions, even tried organic sesame oil (which is great on the rest of my body) but nothing really helped my hands until I tried this wonderful salve. This stuff really works and it will be a constant in my skincare routine in the future.
