A Legacy of High Desert Healing
We’ve infused every tin with the survival spirit of the Rocky Mountain Prickly Pear:
For centuries, desert-dwelling cultures have utilized the moisture-rich mucilage from prickly pear pads as a natural "skin-saver" to soothe sun-drenched skin and promote the rapid renewal of weather-worn tissue.
