Sarah Atlee - You Got It!
Hi folks, in answer to your question, I heard about you on the PRI show The Story. After ordering some of your salve over a year and a half ago, I found it was the best I'd ever used. This time, I'm ordering extras to give away. Thanks for making a great product!
-
Steve Miller - Golfers Salve?
I've been ordering the Climbing Salve for my daughter, Kelly. She is a nationally ranked junior golfer and your salve has been the best I've found for the beating her hands take from long hours practicing and playing. I notice the new Gymnastics Salve. Do you think that would be better for her. BTW, her swing coach really likes the salve, too. Might be a new category for you.

Brian Matter - Pro Cyclist
My house smells like J-Tree Cycling Salve before and after ever ride! My wife swears by the salve and its definitely got me through some long, hard training blocks. I can't wait for the new J-Tree Embrocation to keep my legs warm during the harsh conditions of cyclocross season. Follow up your hard rides with some Herbal Tea so you can relax, recover, and then do it again the next day!
-
Kelli Emmett - Pro Cyclist, Giant Bikes
There is nothing better then J-Tree Salve for rock scrapes and saddle sores . It's my secret weapon to being able to ride off-road day after day comfortably! Also, during training my face is constantly exposed to dry weather conditions and wind, so I love using the lip balms to keep my lips from getting chapped and sunburned. Thank you J-Tree!! Keep up the awesome products.
-
Dr. David Meinhardt M.D. - Tournament Water Skier
My hands are a mess! Washing 30+ times a day at the hospital, and the alcohol based sanitizers, leaves them very dry and cracking. On top of that, daily training for slalom water skiing results in severe calluses. Normal lotions (like those available at the wash stations) would cause my callouses to soften and tear... that's excruciating! In order to heal the dry damaged skin, I rely on J-Tree Watersports Salve.

Leslie Timms - Climbs Harder Than the Boys!
Joshua Tree Products are so awesome that I proudly advertise them wherever I climb. I don't just put any gigantic sticker on my hippy van! I'm a believer in the power of holistic and natural healing, as well as supporting sustainable agriculture. Joshua Tree Salve is an eco-friendly miracle salve. Chalk always dries out my skin and this stuff is the only thing that has worked to heal the cracks. I also use it as a replacement for polysporin in my first aid kit for canoe trips and it has become a staple in my climbing pack. Their new lip shimmer is my new obsession and I cannot live without it! I can't say enough about J-tree products, this stuff really works. Great work Dave :o)

Steve Butler - Rad Ski Dog
I wanted to provide some feedback on the Winter Stick Face Stick that I tried while out skiing in Big Sky, Montana. This was not the first J-Tree product that I tried but, during that snow storm that included 25 mph winds, it was the most essential. The J-Tree Winter Stick sealed my face from the elements and allowed me to keep skiing through the storm. If turned out to be a great powder day! Thank you for the and fantastic performance (and great smell) of the J-Tree Winter Stick!
-
Karissa Dunbar - I like to climb rocks!
I bought J-Tree because a friend recommended it, and I'm now completely addicted. I use it for routine climbing skin care, cuts, scrapes and the like-- it's so great I even put it on band-aids instead of neosporin! The teas taste great and the shimmers are my new favorite chapstick... My family must have wondered this last Christmas, because I gave everyone something J-Tree. It's fabulous!
-
John Desmett - Carpenter
Thanks for a great product! As a carpenter, Michigan winters are extra hard on my hands. This is the first product that really helps my dry, cracked, aching skin. I tell the younger guys to do something nice to their body - all this manual labor will wear it out. Using J-Tree is like buying a drink for your hands! Like a nice drink, not some swill beer on special at the corner pub.

Eric Gifford - "J-Tree is the Beez Neez!"
YO! my name is eric gifford, a Red Bull athlete. in the last four years on the road i been every where from Rumney, to Hueco, and now tearing it up in Arkansas. i pull down until my little digits bleed. i try and i try and then try again. the lack of skin on my tips hurts to the point of me thinking of going to the hospital, but then i remember i have some of your life saving product in my bag. in hueco j tree kept me from tearing my tips off. thank you so much for making a product that i can rave about to everyone with thrashed tips. keep up the great work!!!

Alex Johnson - Pro Climber
I just wanted to say that your climbing salve is awesome! I seriously will not go clmbing without it and if I do forget it I will just buy a whole new container; that's how important it is to me! haha. I was recently at the OR Tradeshow comp and a guy sitting behind me offered me some salve after I got done competing and I just wanted to say THANKS! my fingers were burning! And I really appreciated it! br>Thanks again your salve has added many extra climbing days to many trips! :)
-
Laurel Hata - Climbngurl
Thing I love about "JTree" is that it really works. I use it for everything from blown out finger tips from climbing, to healing scrapes from MTB crashes, to swelling and itchyness from mosquito bites - and more! It lets you play hard and it smells good too!
-
Torrent - Aussie crag dog
After a long day at the cliff, running around on the rock and wrestling with the other cliff dogs - sometime my paws just hurt... i don't really understand the details of it... but my dad puts J-Tree on my paws... and as long as I don't lick it off (Tast-ee!), I'll be ready to romp tomorrow!

Dr. Aga Bednarz, MD - Kiteboarder, GI doctor
I started using your salve after climbing with some friends. I have found that it is also absolutley awesome after kiteboarding, and to treat the latex glove chap I get after working long days in the hospital. I recently gave a patient the remains of my jar as a last chance to treat her Hemorrhoids. None of the over-the-counter or prescription treatments were effective for her, and if this didn't work, surgery was the next step. A day later she informed me that it was "the greatest thing since sliced bread!" Have you considered this market, and can you send me a new jar? Thanks
-
Samantha Fisher - Fayetteville, AR
J-tree, I absolutely love your product. I used to use ClimbOn, it was fine, but there is something about J-tree that my fingers LOVE. I climb here in Arkansas, mostly sandstone, and a group of us are working on developing some new climbing areas. New sandstone will eat your tips away.I find that a night of relaxing and applying J-tree keeps me able to pull hard that next day. I let some of my friends use some of the tub that I have and now I am out, good thing my muscles need a break for a few days.
-
Jeremy Collins - Senior Illustrator, Rock & Ice
I just wanted to write and let you know I have recently become a huge fan of your climbing salve. I received a mini salve at the Horseshoe Hell climbing competition in Arkansas last year. After 4500 feet of climbing I didn\'t think ANYTHING would repair my ragged paws. I realized this weekend, that your salve has become as much a staple of my travels as gasoline and local burgers! br>Thank you for making such a great product. I can't wait to try your other intriguing products!
-
George Bullard - Bee Keeper & Climber
Friends, I have just returned from a climbing trip to JTree. Used the Salve for the first time on small climbing cuts and skin cracks from cold weather here in Tennessee. Put it on and taped the places overnight and next day I was good. Amazing. Saturday afternoon my wife was stung by one of our honeybees. A dab on the sting and next morning there was no lingering soreness at all. I've been stung in the same place (my forehead) and the soreness lasted several days. Waiting to hear from my son if it helped his sunburn this weekend. You have a true healing balm. There are several places here in Nashville I'd be happy to take samples to if you're interested. Thanks, George
-
Dana Brown - Nomadic Traders
We met some folks from your company at OR and bought a bunch of your products and we love them; from the teas on down to the dog salve and your lip gloss/balm is, to put it in my daughter's words, "what I thought Burt's Bees products should have been like."
-
Jeremy Bachelor - I'd Rather be skiing.
A good friend and I got severe wind burn after snowboarding on cold and windy day. Our faces were red, chapped, and sensitive. We tried the new Face Stick and to our supprise it worked wonderfully. The face stick revived color, mosturized, and healed our skin within a few hours. I was totally amazed, it worked perfectly! The other people in our group were skepticle and did not use the product, the next morning their faces were still red and chapped. I also use this product for the dry skin on my face, and it works without causing breakouts. I\'m a true beleiver, Thanks Joshua Tree!!
-
Alex Brady - Fayetteville, AR
I first heard about (j-tree) from a friend in Arkansas (Samantha Fisher) and on a trip to J Tree picked up a couple jars of it at Nomad Ventures in J Tree. I come home to Horseshoe in Arkansas to find that they have it too and I could have had this stuff all along. Anyway, granite to volcanic to sandstone this stuff keeps my tips fresh. Day after day. Thanks for helping us out!
-
Aubrey Martinson - Chelsea, MI
Hi Dave - I just wanted to tell you that I bought a tube of the lavendar lip balm at the New Chelsea Market in Chelsea, MI. It's by far the best lip balm I've ever used - better than Burt's Bees, Dr. Bronner's, and regular ol' Chap Stick for sure. I'll have to try the other varieties. Actually, if you're looking for a way to expand your market, you might think about potters. (This thought just occured to me). I haven't tried the climbing salve, but potters tend to get really rough, dry, cracked hands... it's a thought. :) Kudos on the lip balm!

Jose Azurdia - Guatemala
A mis amigos en Joshua Tree les quiero agradecer por un excelente producto, mejor dicho una gama de productos. Realmente la Climbing Salve funciona de maravilla, cuando mis dedos están rasgados, cortados y ampollados solo tengo que untar un poco de su producto y al dia siguiente como nuevo. Desde que empecé a escalar tuve la fortuna de que un amigo me introdujera a su producto y desde entonces siempre lo tengo en mi mochila. Ademas sus Lip Balms son increíbles, mantienen mis labios protegidos del sol y súper humectados. Por favor sigan adelante con una tremendo producto y marca. Saludos al pequeño Torrent.

Clay Allred - Provo, UT
Hey, I live in Provo UT and the limestone here and in American Fork Canyon has been tearing up my hands this year. Luckily you all started distributing through Mountainworks and some nice guy gave me a free sample. Joshua Tree is the best. The smell has even become exceptionally pleasant to me. Oh, and your mountain mint lip balm worked super well on my river trip last week.
Thanks and keep up the good work,
-
Tara Laidlaw - Archaeologist, Musician
First of all, thank you so much for responding so quickly regarding the problem with the order -- I really appreciate it. I absolutely love the salve (and the lip balms you threw in there... they feel great and last a super-long time -- so thank you!). The salve works great whether I've been on the trails with the horses up in the Sierra, or on site at my archaeological dig, or at home with my cello. I love that my calluses are still happy (and tough) as ever even after using the salve almost every night. It soaks in fast, plus it smells wonderful! Awesome product. Thank you again, and all the best,

Rachel Tucker - Little Rock, AR
I have been climbing for 5 years, and never have I ever come across such a wonderful product. This climbing salve stands out from the rest for a few personal reasons.
One, I have Ezcema. As I'm sure you can image, this condition/ rash is in harsh conflict with my love for climbing and being outdoors. Each climb I do with chalk means 4-5 days recovery with heavy cortizones and layers upon layers of lotions. This is to combat the elements that have torn my hands up and the harsh dryness I experience afterwards. So, that's been my life thus far. I recently climbed my first ever 24 Hours of Horseshoe Hell competition at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch and was also introduced to J-Tree Salve. as part of a goody bag for the competators. By about 2am my skin was cracking, aching, bleeding (all that good stuff) and my lips were so dry. I used that climbing salve everywhere, and it worked!!!
This leads to my second personal experience with J Tree being amazing. Stress at work, and allergies has caused my Eczema to spread to my mouth, ears, and upper eyelids. These are all locations the cortizones and heavy creams say " Do Not Ingest" or "Call Poison Control". Now, weather I was supposed to do this or not, I put the J Tree salve on my eyelids because it was all organic and very soothing and figured why not. This salve has seriously helped control and sooth my out-of-control skin condition. I trust your product to perform everytime. It is just the right amount of everything I need to keep the Eczema outbreak down. Thank you so much! -
Charlotte Hemmings - Haily, ID
I was babysitting for a guy named Andrew Johnston. I had just come back from climbing some limestone up near Mt. Bora in Idaho and my hands were toast. There was a pot of (JTree Salve) on his counter. I tried it, and by the next day most all of my cuts were healing and my hands weren't super dry. I was so stoked Andrew gave me a sample he had. When it was finished I had to buy myself a big jar and one for my friends - it's a life or (skin) saver and I don't stop raving about it.
-
Steve Knigge - Arborist (Knigge Tree Health Care)
I got the climbing salve today and Love it. From the time I first opened it I knew it would work. Climbing trees all day and having this really is a life saver. Thanks for a great product.

Shingo Ohkawa - Pro Climber - SLC, UT
Let's say that it's been a long winter here in SLC, and that you've been looking forward to finally getting out of town and go climbing in shorts and a t-shirt. You've got the entire week off--the desert is tempting, but the weather there looks iffy, Red Rocks might be OK--but the camping there is, well, bleak... So it's got to be J-Tree--no question!
And let's suppose you fancy yourself sort of a student of climbing history, and there's a proud route in the park, a line first freed in 1977, that Bob Kamps called the EBGBs. You've just recently developed a taste for slab climbing at your new home crag, Little Cottonwood Canyon, and so you're more than confident it'll go, despite its witty, yet foreboding moniker. So there you are, thinking, "Kamps was THE man. I wonder if this line was hand drilled? Man, it's getting warm. These shoes are killing my feet! I should have skied less and trained more in the gym..." And then, just before clipping the last bolt, you blow it, off on a 30 footer--and suddenly, you're wishing you had worn pants, much like the time you thought it would be a good idea to glissade the headwall below the Lower Saddle in your shorts.
So, the point? When you botch the sequence early into a roadtrip, you can either:
A) Go home and learn to slab climb.
B) Go home and only sport climb.
C) Use J-Tree Salve and climb the rest of the week!photo: Andrew Burr

Rick Vanderleek - Saugatuck, MI
Trying to get out on the bike as much as possible year-round. I sampled your products at ICEMAN in november. The cycling salve is a hit. The single-digit temps in michigan so far this winter can't stop me. ordering more is must. Nice job. Great company!
-
Marcia Harrington - Southern Michigan Adventure Race Team
I first received your climbing salve at Infittera's adventure race in December, The Chill. At the MMBA meeting, I think it was in February, I bought your tea. I just did another adventure race last week-end, Diamonds & Dirt, and received another sample. The climbing salve came in handy when I took a spill while biking at Pontiac Lake this week-end. I had a nasty scrape and bruise and put some on. Not sure this was the intended use but it worked great. I've also used it to lube up my toes before running because I didn't have any body glide. Again, not sure that was the intended use but it worked.

Kita Kochansky - co-author of The Whole Enchilada A climbers Guide to Potrero Chico, Mexico
I got a couple of the little samples of the Joshua Tree Climbing Salve at the comp last weekend, and absolutely LOVE that stuff! It's alot like Climb On Creme, but I like the Lavender scent so much better!!! Was it you that contacted them for sponsorship of the limestoner? THANKS!! In any case, I really want to buy some of it and was wondering if you know where I can get some. Let me know what you know. :-)... br>I guess this really shows that sending samples really does work for these product mfr's to get new customers! br>Thanks so much! :-)
-
Catriona Jackson - New Found Love
I am relatively new to the sport of climbing so after my first indoor climbing competition, my hands hurt in a way that I m not used to. It was very uncomfortable but J-tree climbing salve provided instant relief from the pain. It also smells nice and would be good to use as a hand cream in dry climates.
-
Max Seigal - Student - Climbing Major
I met you a few weeks ago down at the red (i was in the group that bought the chalk, and shirts) and just wanted to let you know that I love joshua tree climbing salve. After working hard routes that lead to blisters, the salve heals my hands super quickly and actually reduces the pain. br>I love the stuff, keep up the good work.
-
Dave Mayville - Climber and guide for 25 years
I've been climbing and guiding for 20 years and I've used a lot of different salves, creams, and lotions. Chalk dries the hell out of your hands. As an abrasion deterrent, and for dry cracked skin, a one day application of this salve is the best that I've ever encountered in my years of climbing.
-
Suzanne Pinckney - Love this stuff!
The salve saved my hands when they suddenly were cracking and nothing else worked. I love this stuff!
-
Emily Peyton - Vail, CO
I live in Vail, Colorado and love to ski. I use your product every time I go skiing, and I think it is great. It really helps with wind burn and protects my face from the cold weather. It has become a joke with my friends because I always pass it around and have everyone use it before we go up on the mountain. I have never seen it anywhere in Colorado. I actually found it at an outdoor store in Indiana when I was visiting family. I was running out and searched for it on the internet. I even order a few extras to give to a couple of my friends.
-
Alex Wildman - Fresh Lips in the Alaskan Range
I got some of the mountain mint chap stick at a bouldering comp (earth treks MD). Best chap stick I have ever used! So have been pretty bummed that i was almost out, but then i saw your website on the side of the chap stick and couldn't have been happier! I try to tell as many people about you guys as i can. Now that i know about your website i'll whore you guys out when I'm at work (REI).Merry x-mas and have fun climbing!

Joe Fish - Fish Cycling
I found j-tree at a bike shop in Tucson Az. I am from Alaska and I have not seen this product anywhere around, so when I stumbled upon it I figured I would check it out. the first thing that hit me was the smell. Currently I am in the Army, but at home I was a road and mountain cyclist as well as a year round commuter (winters included). I have experienced some bad skin damage both to the conditions and crashes. In the Army I experience some skin damage due to crawling around, time in boots and other mishaps. I started using J-tree on the little scrapes and cuts on my hands and knees, but also on the abrasions and other damage to my feet due to hours in boots. This product works better than anything else that I have tried. I intend to make sure I have at least 2 tins with me when I leave for my impending deployment to the war zone. I foresee this product being invaluable in a desert climate where there is wind, sand and heat damage to just about everything. br> br>This photo is of an Ice Crit, where a course is plowed on a frozen lake and we race anything that works, my ride of choice in those conditions is a cross bike with 38-40c Nokian studs.

Randhir Jhamb - Skier / Guitarist
I first started using your products when I saw them at Black Diamond Equipment in Salt Lake City, Utah. I am intrigued by your "musician's salve" because its something I think will work well on my fingertips, cracked and dried and bleeding in the winter from skiing and playing the guitar...
-
David Ray - New...
I am just getting into climbing, and a friend recommended your climbing salve as a great way to care for and maintain the calluses I am developing. So far I've heard nothing but good things, very much looking forward to my order arriving!

Chris Osterhues - I ride a motorcycle
JTree,
I ride a motorcycle here in Cincinnati whenever temps are above freezing. Even with gloves, my thumb-tips crack and I end up with them covered in bandaids and neosporene. My soon to be son-in-law works at Benchmark Outfitters and I was complaining about this to him last weekend and he let me use some of his Climbers Salve. I loved it! Checking online I quickly figured that your pricing is buy 3-get-1-free, so I did!
Many Thanks, -
Dana A. Tumlin - Athens, TN
Wow!!! I love this stuff! My husband gave me a jar as a gift. I use it for all cuts and scrapes but especially love how quickly it heals my cracked cuticles!! I think I'll try it as a diaper cream next...Thanks for a great product!!
-
Randi - Sea Otter Classic
Hello J Tree
I found you guys at the Sea Otter Classic in Monterey this year and have been using your lip shimmer everyday since. I love it!!! Looks and feels better than anything I have ever tried, and doesn't taste bad. :) Can't wait to try the salve and taste your amazing sounding teas!
Thanks so much for being here and being sooooo coooool! -
Shari Bayer - Grand Rapids, Michigan
Love the chapstick! It was a life saver... or should I say lip saver!
-
Jrt Jaeger - from a JT athletes FB page...
Because Kelly McBride endorses j-tree products, i shall purchase only them for the rest of my days and raise my child to tell all the kids at school that there is radioactive bat venom/defecation in all other lip balms and hand salves.
(yer welcome) -
Macallan Cross - Aussie Cattle Dog
I'm a city Cow Pup & I just wanted to let you know how much my mom loves your stuff! I'm still learning the ropes, so every time I hurt myself mom rubs the pet salve on me! It's like Magic! My sore ruff feet, dry nose, bug bites & even my fur... Cause sometimes I'm stinky...So thanks!
-
Lauren Loomis - Samples really work!
David,
Last week my daughters were roller blading and went way too far, bringing nasty blisters home with them. I dug out a sample of the climbing salve that you gave me a couple of years ago. In just a few days the blisters were almost gone and there was never that water bubble thing going on. I'm looking at outdoor/biking/hiking stores now for more to have in the house and to send up to U of Wisc with my freshman. If you want any testimonials for uses other then climbing call me!. We love this stuff!
Hope business is growing wildly. -
Eleni Livitsanos - love, love, love it!
I have used your climbing salve for my hands (and everything else!) for at least 3 years and love, love, love it! I never travel anywhere without it. When I pulled it out during a recent climbing trip at Tahquitz to try and salvage what was left of my bleeding cuticles, I realized my climbing partners have been in the dark about your amazing products. I was sure I had spread the word to everyone I knew. I had to buy them some of their own, so they can enjoy J-tree salve anytime, all the time!
I look forward to trying the shimmery lip balm. I am already hooked on your Mtn Mint and the revival one (can't remember the name).
Thanks for your amazing products!
be well, Eleni
ps - I also love your salve container - I use my empty containers to holds all sorts of yummy stuff for my backpacking trips. They work like a charm! -
Andrew Wisniewski - Wrecked my JT Jersey!
Hey J Tree Dave,
I bought a race jersey and some of the cycling salve from you guys back at the '09 Iceman in Traverse City. Since then, I have proudly worn the J Tree Life jersey in all of my organized cycling event. Love the salve and the jersey, but ran into a wreck yesterday at Le Tour de Mont Pleasant road race. Got involved in a crash about 30 yards from the finish. I was checking out the J Tree website, but didn't see any jerseys available for sale. Can you let me know if you still have any available? In addition to the above, I have added a few photos of the old jersey in action. Thanks for offering a great product in the cycling salve. Hope to see you guys up at the Iceman again this year.
Best regards, -
Bobbi Paschka - Scorpion Sting
Boca, our Bearded Collie put Joshua Tree Pet Salve to the test yesterday. We are traveling in Arizona, so she has her "summer hair cut", and is a bit vulnerable right now. As best we can tell, she laid down on a scorpion yesterday, and got quite an interesting sting on her butt. When we checked it last night, it looked like a red, miniature volcano, spewing puss. I washed it with warn soapy water, trimmed some fur around it and applied J Tree. This morning, the oozing had stopped, the redness and swelling were almost gone. We were lucky it wasn't a more venomous species, but all scorpion stings can be "dirty" wounds, and often get infected. JTree Pet Salve gets a 5 paws rating for this one!
-
sarah yeatts - amazing...
Your product has been amazing. I use it [the salve] for its intended purpose, but what it works wonderfully for is fever blisters. I have used it twice for a fever blister and I have never used anything, even prescriptions, that have been as soothing and effective in healing them. It was a random thing to reach for it for that use and now I will not use anything else. Thank you for creating such a useful, healing product!

Katie Luthy - Outdoors gal & hunter
To the awesome folks at Joshua Tree Products;
I'm an avid outdoors-gal and hunter. I recently volunteered at the Western Heritage Hunting and Conservation Expo in Salt Lake City, UT, on behalf of the Mule Deer Foundation. While at the expo, I wandered around and came across the Joshua Tree both...or rather the booth found me. Whomever the salesman at that booth did one heck of a job getting me to stop, sample and purchase your product. He was a hoot! I spend a great deal of my time outdoors and have always had trouble with rough skin on my hands and chapped lips. I purchased your Desert Shimmers lip balm. It's without a doubt the best product I have ever used on my lips! And believe me I've tried EVERYTHING! You have a customer for life.
I was also given a sample of the Salve. Once again, I've never used anything that helped my dry skin so quickly. When hunting season approaches and I'm knee deep in sagebrush, snow and the Wyoming wind you can bet I'll be stocking up on more of your products.
Thank you for creating such an excellent product. I'm very impressed! Keep up the great work.
Many Thanks, -
Mark Paranada - frozen foods
I just received my order of Joshua Tree Healing Salve, the lip balm, and the sampler. Thanx for the quick response.
I originally began using Joshua Tree products over a year ago as a result of reading an article in Mens Journal. My fingers were taking a beating from stocking chill and frozen products at Target and the cold winters here in MA didn't help either. The climbing salve was helpful in healing the cracks, cuts, nicks, and bruises resulting from my job. My 1st order was thru an eco-company, but it seems they no longer carry Joshua Tree. And so I'm glad I was able to find you on line to place my order directly to the company. Many kudos to a wonderful product and keep up the good work. -
Andy Brown - Chalk in the UK
Hi guy's, I hope you are all well?
I recently tried your Fire chalk in 'The Quarry' in Provo Utah while on a business trip, it was fantastic in fact I brought both the Fire and the Ice and carried them back to the UK with me. I have been using them both at my local wall and the interest is big! I am also a Scout leader and instruct at our district wall and this is a perfect product for us.
Is it available in the UK? I am sure it will go down very well over here and I know the scouts would love the feeling and smell of the chalk.
All the best, -
Brian Crowe - Office Salve?
I picked up a free sample of the healing salve at the Banff Mountain Film Festival in Ann Arbor back in April of this year. The stuff works great!
I like the new marketing spin on the salve. Makes for a great holiday gift. Ever consider an "Office" version? "Organic care for Paper Cuts and Dry Hands" :) -
Karoline Neville - fair skinned climber
Hi Dave! I just got back from J Tree and picked up the SPF lip balm from Nomad's ... wanted to go back for the climber's salve as well, but kept missing their open hours. The lip balm is the best, btw ... I'm super fair and this is the first trip my lips haven't gotten fried or turned white & gooey from heavy SPF protection :)
-
Anne-Marie Doucet - thanks and happy climbing!
I picked some salve up at smith rocks a few years ago... absolutely LOVE the stuff... what's the shop there...red point? can't remember...anyway... my friends were there a few months ago and I asked them to grab some for me, but they said there wasn't any...or they were lazy and lied to me. :) either way, my jar is definitely running out now!
thanks for making such an awesome product!
happy climbing/whatever else u do... :) -
Robin Everman - Christmas presents
My boyfriend has ordered your products before and he gave me the Healing Salve to try on my calluses on my feet. It worked great and also did wonders on my dry heels. I loved the salve so much I decided to order some for Christmas presents for my sisters and nieces. I also recommended the salve to a friend of mine (Lisa Myers). I'm not sure if she has placed her order yet. I will definitely order more in the future. Thanks!

Adria Badagnani - ABC Studios
About 2 years ago, I bought some J-Tree Climbing Salve at the gear shop - Nomad Ventures - out on 29 Palms Highway. I love it and use it every day, whether or not I'm climbing. I was getting low on my stock, so I found your website conveniently located on the side of the jar. I'm happy to see the Cycling Salve, and all of your other great products too! They are simply the best! (And would make great stocking stuffers for the holidays!)
Thank you for the quick order processing!
The gift set is great - I'll definitely have to order a few for my cycling coach and team members for the Solvang Century Ride. We're doing the ride for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in March, and we will be riding many miles and enduring all sorts of weather conditions during the 5-month training period. Plus, a lot of my colleagues here at ABC Studios are cyclists, skiers, and climbers, so I will definitely pass along my J-Tree product recommendations!
Here's a fine pic of me getting ready to pack in some gear on a film shoot for you to use on your website with my very positive feedback.
Have a wonderful day, Dave! -
Billy Odem - re: Montana Rafting Trip
We had a great time on our five day drift down the Smith River. The river is't too challenging for novice rowers and the scenery is beautiful, plus the parks and wildlife service does a good job with the camp sites. I used the salve to keep the skin on my hands from drying and cracking, and it seemed to work really well.
Best regards, -
Terry Patterson - gymnast salve
Hi David.
The salve was a life saver this summer. My daughter and some of her friends at gym used the salve for their hands and really liked it. Instant pain reliever.
I LOVE IT!! I burned my arm in three different spots in the oven and used the salve. Instant pain and later itch relief. The whole family has used it on one thing or another.
We really like the design for the gymnast salve. We will be placing another order next week. Oh and I really liked the lip balm as well.
If you have a flyer or brochure(s) that I can place at the gym please let me\r\nknow and I will send you my address. I know once people try the products they will be hooked as we are.
Thanks for asking and checking in with us. It is wonderful to get personal attention from a company. I hope you are doing well and prospering. -
Scotty Young - be well
Hi David Lawrence,
I gotta tell you, i love it that your company is still small enough and your integrity is such that you are personally in touch with me your customer.
The salve is good, I like the way it feels and smells. The consistancy is not quite right for my massage work which is what i was hoping for, but I like it for healing cuts etc.
Thanks again for writing, i'm trying the 33 sun stick.......... be well, -
Joyce Smith - Drummer Boy
My son is a drummer in his high school marching band and he asked me to find this stuff "Joshua Tree", so I did an internet search for Joshua Tree handsalve and your site was one that came up. When I saw the tin for musicians, I knew I had the right one. We are looking forward to getting and trying your product. While I was on the website, I noticed the gift pack reduced and decided to try some tubes of the lip balm to share with my female relatives as small Christmas presents.

Shawn Lawler - The Story, on NPR
Hello,
I want to say thanks for the quick turn around on the order. I became aware of your products and the owner from his interview on the NPR radio station in Chicago. June 15th was the date. I was impressed with the healing and maintenance ability of the salve he talked about for the climbers hands. I believe the same help could be applied to the feet of hikers. My girlfriends' feet to be exact. I placed an order to try several of your products, the cycling salve, mini jars of climbers salve, lip balm, and the face stick. will report later on the results. -
Lesley MacArthur - swept away...
Kudos for the fast delivery. About the product: I loved the skin smoothing feeling. I put it on my calloused feet. It swept away the painful dryness without destroying the protective callouses. Thank you!

Michael Sobolak - Hand Made
Hi, I love your salve! I use it for everything (its like duct tape for the skin). However, I bought one of your combo pack things and the Mountain mint lip balm was empty, the other two were full and are lovely to use. Can you guys do anything for me, I could send the empty one back to you? Thanks, and keep up the great work, I'm on my 3rd tub of hand salve and I love it. *we sent him a new one, (or three) - this stuff is all hand made, and we goofed!

Tracy Page - selfishly kept it...
Just wanted to let you know that I love the shimmers lip balms! My husband has taken over the climbing salve for use on saddle sores and seems delighted! I had forgotten to mention that sampling was one of Burt's Bees most successful marketing tools. We had mini's of every item that stores could give away to promote the brand. I have to say that I did not pass along the sample size salve you sent, I have selfishly kept it for my purse! Thanks again, and hope to run into you again sometime. Best of luck with the business.

John Garland - Your stuff works.
I went to Red River Gorge last spring and by coincidence, the Reunion was going on. There were some people selling reunion T-Shirts and they had some small (tiny, actually) jars of your product - they were giving these away as samples. I took a couple and the salve really worked well on some rock cuts I had on my hands, so ordered some in larger quantities. Used it all last summer on me and my girlfriend. Your stuff works.

Porter Jarrard - ...as essential to me as Miguel's Pizza and Beer!
I have been climbing since 1986, and i have always experimented with lotions, poultices and balms to infuse tattered and damaged fingertips and palms. i even kept a tube of some unknown german lanoline-based paste in my dob kit for over a decade. I had mummified it in athletic tape to repair its' own split metal tube. I carefully meted-out portions as anodyne for pinked-out tips...until the entire greasy mass popped like a ripe tick one summer ruining my personal effects. In fall 2008 i met chris sharma at the New...the first thing i asked was could i examine his fingers. they were like sturdy sheepskin leather, no hard callouses, and no threatening splits to the quick. there was the evidence, and it's no trick. you have to keep your hands pliant and resilient. I had given-up on finding something useful and practically-packaged to make me mend, until Dario Ventura gave me a sample of JTree balm last fall. Really amazing stuff that oil-starved chapped skin sucks right up, making it fuse-together and stay strong. And it true! I rub tha shizz all over ma hands. Even good for to keep the winds off ma face in the cold days. I puts it round my nasals and it stop the chap. The screw-top poke it come in don't never come loose or threaten to ooze its guts in ma pocket or dob kit and it wont get ruinated by the winter freeze. But seriously, the combination of natural oils and bees wax actually does help repair and fortify my damaged skin, allowing me to get another days burns in on projects, despite schralped tips or red river jug rash.
