Cottonwood Bud Working Balm

Our working balm was formulated for hands that work hard. Our limited edition spring 2025 Cottonwood Bud balm is comprised simply of local grass-fed and grass-finished beef tallow, rendered in-house, local cold-pressed sunflower oil, and locally-gathered cottonwood buds. It is a balanced balm that is easily absorbed into the skin.  We do not add beeswax to our balm, so it is soft and spreadable. For a firmer balm, keep refrigerated.  Our IngredientsWe work directly with family farms to source our ingredients. We render the tallow in-house from cattle raised by Gulden Farm and Hover Farms, both in Germantown, NY, and the sunflower seed oil is grown and manufactured by Hudson Valley Cold-Pressed Oils in Pleasant Valley, NY.  The Cottonwood Buds are sustainably foraged on a friend's property. Cottonwood buds have long been known for their sticky resin and musky smell that heralds spring. Buds can only be harvested for a short time window, and are known for their anti-inflammatory and pain
