Pine Resin-Infused Soaps
Pine resin (oleoresin), produced by pine trees when injured, is a natural product that seals wounds to protect against infection and insects that may harm the tree. For humans, pine resin can be infused into oils to create salves suitable for soothing achy joints, rashes or problematic skin conditions. In this recipe, we’re infusing it directly into soap instead! (See the tip section for information on sourcing resin.) I also included soothing violet or plantain leaves, but they could be replaced with chickweed or comfrey if you’d like, or calendula is another good choice. Resins can be flammable when overheated, so do not microwave this recipe and don’t leave it unattended while heating. Yield: four 2-ounce (57-g) round soaps
