A wonderfully healing antioxidant for the skin, our handmade chaparral oil is a slow artisanal infusion of ethically wildcrafted southwestern mountain creosote bush and organic extra virgin olive oil.
Creosote is a flowering 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.
