The Balm of Gilead Collection

Hand-harvested cottonwood medicine from Alberta.

This curated collection brings together three of our most loved cottonwood creations — slow infused, resin rich, and deeply rooted in traditional northern plant use.

Each piece begins with spring cottonwood buds gathered by hand during their short seasonal window, then slowly infused to draw out their rich golden resin and unmistakable forest scent.

If you’ve ever wondered what true Balm of Gilead feels like in its many forms — this is the full experience.

Inside the Collection

🌿 Cottonwood Resin Soap

A deeply nourishing, high-resin bar made with slow-infused cottonwood bud oil and forest resins.

This bar has a little magic inside — when first cut, the interior reveals a rich golden tone that slowly deepens and transforms as it meets the air. This natural color change happens as the resin-rich oils and cottonwood infusion oxidize over time, creating the warm amber and honey tones unique to true Balm of Gilead soap. 

No dyes.

No pigments.

Just real resin doing what real resin does.

Rich, grounding, and beautifully aromatic with warm forest notes.

🌿 Balm of Gilead Lip Balm

A protective, resin-rich lip balm made with our signature cottonwood infusion and a touch of wild spruce resin for added depth and forest character.

Smooth, golden, and long-lasting with a subtle boreal aroma that reflects the trees it came from.

🌿 Balm of Gilead Salve

Our classic multi-purpose cottonwood balm.

Made from hand-harvested buds slowly infused into oil, finished with local beeswax and a small addition of spruce resin for a deeper traditional forest profile.

Smooth, aromatic, and rooted in generations of northern plant use.

Why Cottonwood?

Cottonwood buds have been treasured for generations for their rich aromatic resins and traditional skin-soothing properties. Each spring we harvest  during the short window when buds are heavy with resin, then slowly infuse them to capture their full character.

No synthetic fragrance.

No shortcuts.

Just tree medicine — the old way.
