Cleansing Oils: Wild Cottonwood Bud

$26.00

Cottonwood is related to White Willow, a potent source of Salicin, the precursor to salicylic acid. The buds of the cottonwood are rich in this anti-inflammatory compound.

I craft this nourishing blend with buds I collect from the local forest infused into organic, virgin and cold pressed oils, plant extracts and essential oils.

EXCELLENT FOR NORMAL - DRY SKIN WITH OCCASIONAL OUTBREAKS, CLOGGED PORES, REDNESS, AND MATURE SKIN.

2 oz. pump bottle.

WILDCRAFTED + ORGANIC COLD PRESSED VIRGIN OILS + ESSENTIAL OILS.

A gentle blend of astringent, clarifying cleansing oils quickly absorbs into pores to dissolve dirt and grime.

This blend features Cottonwood buds, a powerful medicinal herb rich in Salicin.

The seed oils themselves do most of the hard work of cleansing your skin, infusing them with the powerful healing properties of the cottonwood tree from the local river banks adds anti-inflammatory properties.

NO CASTOR OIL IN ANY OF MY BLENDS: I do not include it in my blends due to its tendency to over-dry skin and cause irritation. Castor oil is commonly included in cleansing oil blends. it is a powerful cleanser and drying agent! If you have very oily skin, never break, and live in a humid climate, you may want to add it to my blend; I would suggest starting with just a drop or two and evaluating your results. The max rate would be 10%. Please contact me for more information.

Cottonwood buds are also rich in Tannins. Tannins are astringent, meaning they draw skin tissue together, helping minimize pore size and the appearance of fine lines. They help reduce swelling and soothe inflammatory skin conditions.

Cottonwood buds: The buds contain powerful anti-fungal and anti-microbial compounds, helping protect the skin from pathogenic microbes responsible for itchiness, outbreaks, and other skin issues. READ MORE

Don’t blame the cottonwoods! Often, people think they are allergic to cottonwood cotton. Cottonwood is NOT a common allergen. You are much more likely to be allergic to ragweed, which blooms at the same time.
