I love this stuff so much that even though it is in the air here I still buy it for me. And for others as well

I love the cottonwood bud hand balm. I have found that, unlike my experience with hand lotion, this balm actually hydrates my hands and leaves them feeling so smooth. Other products just coat your hands with a layer, but this actually helps to heal and hydrate. A little can go a long way -- totally worth it!!!

I love this balm. One application will leave your skin so moisturized and supple. It’s really great for feet and knees and elbows too. A little goes a long way. I also use it as the last step in my night skincare routine. I rub it into my hands then just touch my face with tips of my fingers where there are dry patches. Works like a charm. Also rub it into the ends of my hair on dry days.

Greasewood smells a bit like a campfire. Has a smoky scent to it. So relaxing. And the cottonwood smells a bit sweet and leans toward feminine.

I love this balm so much. I’ve purchased the honey mesquite and the cottonwood bud (gonna try the greasewood next) & I love them both! They both smell so good. The honey mesquite is slightly stronger scent but neither see overpowering. I use that one esp right before leaving the house in the winter as a protective layer bc my hands have gotten chapped really easily my whole life. It really helps. I also use it when my hands are raw from washing! I use the cottonwood just when I feel my hands are dry and also often before bed. I also love the formula of this. It’s so smooth and soft and not sticky at all & absorbs so nicely. I love beeswax but am super sensitive to sticky-ness in things & many salves etc miss the mark for me even if I otherwise love them. These are divine.

The honey mesquite hand balm is otherworldly. The scent is so calming-- a soft woodsy chocolate. I feel instantly centered when I catch a whiff. The formula of the balm itself feels incredible on my dry hands at this time of year. This is such a treat to experience. I carry it with me everywhere and I treasure it. Thank you!

Please make a Cottonwood Bud perfume! I know I’ve asked you before, but come on! I’d buy a ton! It’s your best fragrance, and they all are so delicious!

This is the only product that has ever worked for the hang nails I get in cold winters/desert dry air. Smells sweet and comforting !

I get wickedly dry hands in the winter, and the greasewood balm takes care of em. I love it, it smells wonderful, it doesn't stay greasy.

I have eczema on my hands and this really helps and also smells amazing!

RG · Apr 1, 2023

@Joanna Hurwitz, &/OR ANYONE ELSE:
Which of the 3 balms worked on the eczema? I'm trying Greasewood* but think that perhaps Cottonwood Bud may be more effective?

This is about a skin condition that happens a couple of times a year, reacting to hot chile peppers, further aggravated by acidity ( citrus, vinegar, tomatoes) and some essential oils or lotions. ( Can use those things when skin isn't in ultra-sensitive mode.) Isn't exactly eczema; is more like an extreme inflammatory response that cracks, weeps and peels.
Thanks.

* Greasewood worked on very dry hands. Smells a little like sandalwood to me ~ wonderful.

The greasewood balm takes you back to those moments, on an evening walk, when you decide to turn off the dirt road. A hundred yards into the sage, you smell sweet air—that’s greasewood, turns out. The thin top layer of hardened sand crumbles between your fingers, and below, the sand is fine and cool. This all happens in New Mexico, of course. Say, not far from your Great Aunt Martha’s house, back when you were 23 and free.
