Pine (Piñon) Resin

$5.00

Piñon resin is a fragrant, naturally oozing sap harvested from Piñon pine trees (Pinus edulis or related species). This unfiltered, raw resin retains its organic texture—rich in golden-amber hues, occasional bark flecks, and earthy impurities—just as it’s gathered from the tree. Its sticky, aromatic quality makes it a prized material for traditional crafts, holistic remedies, and DIY projects.

Uses & Applications

Skin & Bodycare

  • Salves/Balms: Revered for its potential antiseptic and soothing properties, Piñon resin is melted into balms for minor cuts, burns, or skin irritations.

  • Massage Oils: Infused into carrier oils, it may help ease muscle tension with its warming, woodsy aroma.

  • Soap Making: Adds a forest-like scent and rustic charm (use sparingly—its aroma is potent!).

DIY & Practical Uses

  • Natural Glue: Mix with charcoal or ash to create a strong, traditional adhesive.

  • Waterproofing: Historically used to seal leather, boots, or wooden containers.

  • Incense & Candles: Burns with a deep, resinous fragrance—perfect for incense blends or pine-scented candles.

  • Wood Finishes: Combined with oils or solvents, it can polish or protect handmade crafts.

What You’ll Receive

  • Raw, unfiltered Piñon resin (sold by weight)

  • Texture: Sticky, sometimes brittle chunks with possible natural debris (bark, dust).

  • Aroma: Earthy, warm, and intensely pine-like—more robust than processed resins.

Precautions

  • Patch test before skin use; some may be sensitive to pine resins.

  • Not for consumption.

  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent clumping.

A gift from the high desert, this resin carries the untamed essence of the Piñon pine—ideal for purists, crafters, and herbalists who cherish nature’s unrefined offerings.
