Pinus tree gum | Brazil | 100% Pure | Food Safe
Have you noticed, while walking among pine or other evergreens, that some trees exude a sticky substance? This is pine resin and is produced as a healing and protective measure when a tree is wounded. The pine resin is antimicrobial and works to protect the plant from disease. Those same components can help to fight bacteria and fungus on our bodies, as well, making pine resin a great item for your home first aid kit.
Pine resin is gaining widespread attention in the zero waste community for its use when making homemade beeswax wraps. The resin adds pliability and tackiness to your homemade wrap, making it easier to adhere with less heat.
