Key Ingredients

Wild Poplar

KW'ENIKWÁY (kwa-in-i-kway) is the Squamish name for cottonwood (also known as poplar). The fragrant resin from the leaf buds of poplar has many properties for topical use, including congestion relief, muscle aches, small scrapes, and minor skin irritations.

Olive Oil

Olive oil (Olea europaea) is a nutrient-rich, deeply moisturizing oil packed with antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols, making it ideal for nourishing dry skin, protecting the skin barrier, and promoting a smooth, supple complexion.

Beeswax

Beeswax (Cera alba) is a natural wax produced by honeybees that forms a protective, breathable barrier on the skin, locking in moisture while soothing, softening, and shielding against environmental irritants—making it a staple in balms, salves, and moisturizers.

Great product

I've bought all the versions of the salves, and since I love the smell of the black Cottonwood here in BC I couldn't resist trying this. Doesn't disappoint on how well it works and the scent is just enough to make me feel happy and think of the spring.

Lovely, healing salve

Thank you so much for offering this wonderful salve. I’ve been applying it to the many cuts and bug bites I’ve gotten from my time outdoors and can tell the salve is aiding in the healing process. I am deeply moved by all this company represents and stands for and the products are amazing. I will gladly be a return customer. Thank you!

Ceremony series is wonderful

Love this product so much

I’ve used this salve several times on small wounds on my hands/fingers. Just two days being ‘bandaided’ with it, and not only is the skin healed over, it’s often difficult to find the spot where the wound was! This from someone who is notorious for taking a long time to heal and is extremely susceptible to infections. I LOVE it!

Essential for my family

This product is an absolute necessity for my family's first aid kit! I use it in place of Polysporin on cuts, scrapes, and burns. It quickly acts as a numbing agent on a burn and has helped prevent scarring and blistering. My absolute favourite use is as a diaper rash cream for my babies. It heals a red, painful bottom within a few hours. It's better than any diaper rash product or steroid cream. I love that it's natural with only 3 ingredients. I stock up each time it's released!
