Cottonwood Salve

This soothing salve was created from a deeply infused oil of the resinous buds of the Black Cottonwood tree (Populus trichocarpa), sustainably harvested during their dormant stage.

Cottonwood oil is a rich source of powerful antifungal and antimicrobial compounds, helping protect the skin, soothe dry skin & itch and heal inflammatory skin issues such as eczema and psoriasis.

Populus trichocarpa contains ‘salicin’ which helps relieve pain, reduce inflammation and improve circulation. It is warming and wonderful as a massage oil, rubbed into sore and achey muscles and soft tissue injuries, such as bruises and sprains.

This salve also serves as a simple first-aid ointment, that can be applied to clean cuts, scrapes, and minor burns to prevent infection and reduce pain.
