My evergreen forest salve is made with all the evergreen leaves from my property, including pine & spruce resin. This salve has a mild evergreen & honey scent combo (sorry, my last beeswax order was super strong scented!). This salve is medium in firmness (so it won't melt in hot climates). Made on 1/5/25. This salve is discounted as it is over a year old.
Ingredients: needles from white pine, red pine, spruce, white cedar, red cedar, white pine & spruce resin, avocado oil, beeswax
Evergreen needles are warming, drying, antimicrobial & also expectorant. Evergreen resins are pain relieving, offer protection to the skin, and having drawing properties.
Other comments on evergreens:
My property is full of evergreens (mostly Eastern White Pine) and I love each tree:) I've made various things from them, including wreaths, spruce tip infused honey (this is utterly delicious btw:)), pine needle tea, holiday swag for my front porch, fermented pine needle soda (delicious if you refrigerate it before it gets too 'boozy'), tinctures and balms of course, and I will use dried out pine branches/wood to bury for hügelkultur mounds. They are also home to lots of squirrels, the occasional bird nest & sometimes birds of prey will nest in them. The deer will eat the bark in winter and seem to like sleeping near these trees. The smell is always a joy as it reminds me of going 'up north' when I was a child growing up in Michigan:)

With a delightfully subtle evergreen scent, this salve is perfect for my chapped hands. I don't have access to these evergreens that Tricia does so I ordered this salve from her. Quality, value... I would certainly recommend and buy again. :) Thank you Tricia!
Great for all kinds of skin issues, burns, bug bites, etc. I make a similar salve for my family for years, it works great. couldn't find any resin recently so it was nice to find this recipe all made up. The salve is nice and thick, great for winter time. The tallow makes a big difference! Arrived quickly, love that the tin screws on/off instead of just popping on.
Great salve and shipped fast!
your just amazing can't be more thankful than making sure I spent a little time giving these starts and she needs more stars thank you so much I will keep buying!!! awesome!!!
Fast shipment! Moisturizing with a light scent.
I love this company. Products that work and are pure. Great customer service.
This is really helpful on cracks on my hands.
Made a great gift for my wife!
Tricia makes such great products, and this is no exception! I wholeheartedly recommend this shop to friends and family whenever I can, and to you, internet person reading this, I also encourage you to shop here -- I think you'll find her stuff to be well-formulated, high quality, and a joy to use.
Thanks, also, for the shipping overage refund! There can be a bit of sticker shock with Etsy's calculated shipping price, so it's a HUGE relief to know that I can look forward to having the unused portion of the charges returned to me. Just another reason aforagerscollective is my favorite indie maker of herbal products <3
