Creosote Infused Jojoba Oil
Creosote is an evergreen shrub, with small waxy leaves, that thrives in desert climates. The plant got the name creosote when men building the railroad west through Texas into Southern CA in the late 19th century thought the bushes smelled similar to the petroleum-based creosote that they infused railroad ties with. Known by others as "la hediondilla" or stinky one, because of its distinctive smell that most Southwesterners say reminds them of the desert in the rain.
Creosote is a skin healer that has been used for hundreds of years by indigenous Americans. An incredible treatment for skin irritations of all kinds, use creosote infused jojoba oil to nourish and protect extremely dry skin, on sunburn and bug bites, on pimples and scars, to soothe itch and chafing, and as a therapeutic and moisturizing hair treatment because it has anti-fungal properties for the scalp.
The base of the oil is our go-to organic Sonoran jojoba oil, a fantastically effective oil that can be used for hair, face, and body. Naturally antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, non-toxic, and non-comedogenic jojoba is one of two oils that are the most structurally similar to the skins natural oil, making it an useful allover body oil for every skin type.
