Created using a blend of essential oils, freshly extracted from the finest organic herbs, JTree Salve moisturizes and promotes healing without softening calluses that the body produces for protection. It is effective in treating dry, chapped skin, chafing, abrasions, scrapes and cuts. Why no softeners??? Because a healthy callus is your body's own natural protection, and it hurts when they get soft and peel! Joshua Tree's Healing Salve uses the same proven formula as their popular Climbing and Healing Salves, developed by climbers in Joshua Tree National Park's Hidden Valley Campground over 10 years ago!
