Forager's Relief Balm

A small-batch botanical balm for muscle comfort, skin support, and seasonal self-care.

The natural aroma of this salve alone is enough to make us fall in love. It has a unique rich warm amber-honey tone mixed with a sweet earthy spice and notes of anise.

Crafted with wild-harvested cottonwood buds, devil’s club bark, wild ginger, and organic arnica, our Relief Balm blends traditional herbal wisdom with deeply nourishing oils. Each batch is slowly infused in-house using low heat and time-honored methods.

This balm supports skin integrity and provides comforting care for overworked muscles and joints. Use after long days, adventurous weekends, or simply as a grounding ritual of touch.

Key Ingredients

Black Cottonwood Buds – Traditional use for topical discomfort; rich in salicylates and resins

Devil’s Club Bark – Revered in Indigenous medicine; used for joints and inflammation

Wild Ginger – Warming and aromatic; historically used to ease tension

Arnica Flower – Widely applied in herbalism for bruises and sore muscles

Castor & Pumpkin Seed Oils – Moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and barrier-supportive

How to Use

Massage a small amount into clean, unbroken skin. Ideal for shoulders, joints, back, or anywhere in need of care. Patch test recommended.

⚠️ For external use only. Do not apply to broken skin. Not recommended for individuals with salicylate sensitivity.

Limited by Season

Cottonwood buds are harvested only in late winter from wind-fallen branches—so when we sell out, we wait for nature’s next cycle. This balm reflects the pace of the wild.
