{8oz jar}

 

Ingredients: coconut oil, LOCAL creosote, sun light energy, moon light energy

 

Used by many ancient cultures in the southwestern United States and Mexico as a traditional medicine and skincare agent / natural sun screen / UV Protection

 

Cahuilla, Apache, as well as many others, traditionally used the plant for a vast array of ailments and protection

 

derived from the desert chaparral plant (Larrea tridentata)

 

creosote can also can be called "greasewood" or "chaparral"

 

creosote leaves and branches have traditionally been infused into oils or animal fats to make salves and creams for a very long time

 

creosote is rich in antioxidants, particularly Nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA). When applied to the skin, these compounds help protect against damage caused by UV rays, act as an anti-inflammatory, and treat sunburns

 

it acts as a thick, nourishing salve that creates a barrier against the harsh, dry desert wind and sun.

 

today, creosote infused oil is still used as a natural, traditional sunscreen and healing salve (sometimes combined with zinc oxide for enhanced protection) to treat sunburns and nourish the skin after exposure. 

 

Interesting Fact: important to distinguish this botanical creosote (from the bush) from industrial coal-tar creosote, which is highly toxic and used for wood preservation.
