Creosote / Wild Chaparral Oil
Creosote / Wild Chaparral Oil– 5 mL Roll-On
Clear glass bottle with stainless steel rollerball
Crafted by an experienced herbalist and wildcrafter with over three decades of hands-on plant knowledge across North American bioregions
This oil is the culmination of months of methodical work—from ethically wildcrafting creosote (Larrea tridentata) in the Sonoran desert to slow infusion and final bottling. It's formulated to support skin wellness and offer the unmistakable scent of rain-soaked desert air.
Used traditionally for:
• Cuts, scrapes, and scratches
• Bug bites and minor rashes
• Fungal spots and rough patches
• Sun exposure and minor burns
Dual purpose: botanical remedy + natural desert perfume
Creosote’s signature scent is green, smoky, and elemental—just like the desert after a rare rain. This oil is both functional and aromatic, serving as a healing ally or a wearable, place-based perfume.
Ingredients:
• Wildcrafted Larrea tridentata (creosote bush) infusion in fractionated coconut oil
• Additional creosote leaf, flowers, and twigs for intensified aroma and potency
Each batch is infused for no less than a full moon cycle—often much longer—until it reaches a deep forest-green hue and a resinous, true-to-plant fragrance.
About the maker:
My plant work began in Canada in the early 1990s, developed through decades in the Pacific Northwest (1996–2020), the coastal chaparral of Southern California (2020 - 2023), and continues to deepen through the ecology of the Southwest. I bring a wide breadth of herbal and ecological understanding into every preparation, grounded in firsthand knowledge, seasonal timing, and respect for the land.
