We make soap, oils, balms, candles, and sachets. We make them from named plants—yarrow, mesquite, juniper, creosote—that grow within a few hours of the shop. We label every batch with the date we poured it and the proprietor’s initials. We don’t make anything we wouldn’t use ourselves.

A piñon branch laid across a weathered wood surface, small green cones along its length, in soft side-light.

Piñon is the warm resin in three of our products: Piñon Smoke soap, Juniper Smoke candle, and the Cracked Heel salve. We pick it ourselves above Tesuque.
