Balm of Gilead Salve by Creation Farm is a timehonored herbal remedy designed for minor discomforts and everyday skin care, ideal for anyone seeking a natural, comforting balm.
How it works
- Same herbal focus, travel-ready: offers the same cottonwood bud–infused comfort as the jar format, in a flat tin that is easy to carry.
- On-the-go protection: ideal for tool bags, purses, vehicle consoles, and travel kits.

Botanical rationale
This tin format brings traditional Balm of Gilead salve into a portable container so you can keep it close to wherever your work or journey takes you.
