3 Trees Tallow Salve was made out of love — not just for skincare, but for my husband.
He loves his beard, but like a lot of men, it needed a little extra care. His facial hair was coarse, patchy in places, and the skin underneath would sometimes break out and get irritated from picking or trapped moisture.
I wanted to create something that smelled manly and wonderful — something he would actually use — but also something that would truly help: softening the beard, calming the skin underneath, and supporting healthy, fuller-looking growth over time.
And in my usual multipurpose mindset, I wanted something that could serve the whole family too — a salve gentle enough for cuts, scrapes, and dry skin wherever we needed it.
3 Trees became all of that and more: a deeply nourishing conditioning salve, a natural beard balm, a soothing aftershave, and a simple rescue salve for skin that needed extra love.
It’s carefully infused with whole Frankincense Resin, Myrrh Gum, and Palo Santo Resin — preserving the full spectrum of botanical compounds that essential oils often leave behind.
Frankincense resin is rich in boswellic acids, traditionally used to support skin health and resilience. Myrrh gum has long been respected for encouraging natural skin renewal and strengthening the skin’s natural defenses. Palo Santo resin offers calming, restorative support.
Together, these resins are traditionally known for their antifungal, antimicrobial, and barrier-supporting properties — helping not just the beard, but the delicate skin underneath. Regular use can help protect against common concerns like ingrown hairs, fungal acne, and irritation that can occur when moisture and heat are trapped beneath facial hair.
Customers have shared that after consistent use, they’ve noticed healthier, softer beards, reduced irritation, and even fuller-looking growth — a testament to how real plant infusions nourish at the root.
3 Trees is a simple salve — but a meaningful one, rooted not just in tradition, but in hope, healing, and the belief that true care takes time.
