Pine Pitch Salve: The Story Behind Our Wildcrafted Salve

🌲 Pine Pitch Salve: The Story Behind Our Wildcrafted Salve
In the high desert, where wind and sun shape both land and skin, nature offers its own kind of medicine. One of the most ancient and trusted remedies? Pine pitch.
Sticky, fragrant, and golden-hued, pine pitch (or sap) has been used for centuries to soothe wounds, draw out splinters, and ease sore joints. It’s the tree’s own healing resin—antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and deeply protective. And in our small-batch salve, it’s the heart of the formula.

Why Pine Pitch?
Pine pitch contains compounds like turpentine and resin acids that naturally fight bacteria and reduce inflammation. Traditionally, it’s been applied to:
•     Minor cuts and scrapes
•     Insect bites and stings
•     Splinters and sore muscles
•     Cracked, dry, or winter-worn skin
Its sticky nature helps draw out impurities while forming a protective seal—making it ideal for trail-earned injuries and canyon-seasoned hands.

How We Use It
We refine pine pitch gathered from Pinus species into a smooth, workable resin. Then, we blend it with:
•     Beeswax, to create a breathable barrier
•     Shea butter, for deep hydration and skin barrier support
•     Olive oil, infused with wild herbs, to soothe and soften
The result is a salve that’s rugged yet gentle—made to support skin through the rough and the raw. Whether you’re hiking sandstone trails, tending a garden, or simply facing dry winter air, this balm offers simple, time-tested care.
