Sore Muscle Soother body oil

Windfall native black cottonwood buds + windfall native Douglas fir branches + homegrown rosemary and peppermint leaves and soft stems + homegrown goldenrod + olive oil + many months of brewing time all come together in this body/massage oil. 

Made seasonally and in small batches with trees and plants we love, on land we love, and with the help of people we love and trust. This means this oil may or may not be available all year--the months we tend to run low or out are March-July as we wait for the mints and goldenrod to grow and finish infusing. 

Tips: For added awesomeness, take a bath (ideally) or shower (also good) first to warm your skin. While your skin and muscles are still warmed from bathing (though not still wet), rub the massage oil into your sore muscle(s). Aaaaaahh. 

Ingredients: Windfall black cottonwood buds (from along the Skagit river), Whidbey windfall Douglas Fir branches (from Ritual Mischief & walks in neighboring woods), and our own rosemary and peppermint leaves and soft upper stems and goldenrod  and infused into an organic olive oil. The fir, peppermint, rosemary, and goldenrod are infused in olive oil for 6 to 8 weeks and the cottonwood buds infuse for at least 4 months, up to a year or more.

Storage & life of the product: Store your bottle in a cool, dry, dark place where direct sunlight never touches the bottle. We suggest using this body oil within 12 months of purchase when it's freshest, because the only preservative is the nature of the plants (especially the cottonwood buds) themselves. Your oil may last longer than that, too, but if at any point it doesn't smell good anymore or starts to look different, stop using it. Also, plant-infused oils have minds of their own. They may ooze a little bit (oozing is part of their nature and charm), and you may find that a tiny bit of oil pools under the bottle itself, so we recommend storing the bottle on a hard surface--like stone or metal or glass or ceramic tile--that you don't mind getting a teeny bit of oil on.
