Climbing Gear Review
Joshua Tree Skin Care created an array of products to address the needs of outdoor recreationists that were subjecting themselves to the harsh desert environment of Joshua Tree, California.
Automotive Accessories :: October 2009
Verdict: It can be hard to tell which is worse: filthy hands from working on a car or the dry-skin side effect of heavy-duty hand cleaners. Joshua Tree salve, originally made for climbers, helps restore moisture without softening skin. It’s more effective than lotion...

The Story on NPR with Dick Gordon
David Lawrence was studying engineering at University of Michigan when a professor plucked him out of class to work at his nanotech start up company. Ten years into it David was burned out from the technological challenge and prolonged product development. Luckily David discovered a way out, and plan B. An avid rock climber David was a loyal consumer of a hand salve made especially for climbers, and when he heard the company was for sale, jumped on it. He’s now manufacturing in a shed in th backyard, and his mom is labeling the products in the evenings while she watches TV. But David says he is as happy as he’s ever been.

Joshua Tree's New Line of Lip Therapy
Matt Stark, Editor, Dead Point Magazine
Joshua Tree Climbing salve has been making its way into climbers backpacks for a while now. Its healing powers, organic qualities, and pleasing scent have been making climbers hands happy all over the world. Now, Joshua Tree is expanding its line of products to broaden its marketing appeal. Joshua Tree now offers an entire line of lip balms, to protect those chapped puckers just in time for the cooler temps. They have lips balms with SPF, shimmer, and even tea tree oil. The desert shimmers come in unique ergonomic tubes that sit flatter in your pocket. The balms have light tints, great “flavors” and still jam packed with the organic and healing power of all the Joshua Tree Products. Joshua Tree balms are so natural, you can actually pronounce their ingredients! Our favorite was the Desert Shimmer – Cholla. It had an incredibly pleasing scent and no coloring.

About.com Guide to Climbing
By Stewart Green, About.com Guide to Climbing Outdoor Retailer Show: Joshua Tree Climbing Salve is a natural ointment composed of eight different herbs, including comfrey, echinacea, and lavender, that was developed at Joshua Tree by herbalist Jenny Q for the usual wear and tear—cuts, abrasions, scrapes, and gobies—that climbers develop on the rock. Last year David Lawrence, a Michigan climber, bought the secret recipe from Jenny Q and started Joshua Tree Products.

A chance stroll along some mezzanine in the Salt Palace Convention Center had us meeting David Lawrence, now proud owner of the Joshua Tree Company. Naturally, he and his gal climbed their way across America to attend OR-and we know he is- and was- a proud user of J-Tree Climbing Salve ($15)… that got him all pumped about the company...(click the link to read the rest)

Climbers around the country will apprectiate Joshua Tree Climbing Salve ($12.50 for a two-ounce jar), a soothing mix of organic herbs (including echinacea, chaparral and comfrey) in a base of sunflower oil and beeswax, among other oils. As someone who suffers from split fingertips and chapped hands, I can vouch for this balm's healing properties. It goes on a bit goopy, but the moisture is quickly absorbed, soothing minor nicks and splits.

Herbal entrepreneur finds niche in outdoor industry
August 20, 2004, By Sara Munro / Hi-Desert Star
JOSHUA TREE - "For the tip rippin', knuckle nickin', climbing fiend," reads the label on Joshua Tree Climbing Salve, a healing hand salve masterminded by herbalist Jenny Qaqundah, who hails from the place after which her product is named.
The label also claims that this 100 percent cruelty-free concoction of organic herbs "helps heal flappers, gobis and blown tips."
"What's a flapper? A gobi?" you ask. No, they're not birds or fish. Blown tips? Let's not go there. The terms are actually climber jargon used to describe the condition of one's appendages after long days of stuffing and jamming hands, elbows and knees in cracks and crevices.
The quartz-monzonite granite rock of Joshua Tree National Park has an international reputation for its scouring-pad-like surface texture. Unlike at other climbing locations, climbers here take rest days not because their muscles are sore, but because the tips of their fingers are wearing off.
It's exactly this rock quality, and the resulting whimpers of her climbing friends, that sparked the connection between a special product and a previously untapped market... (click the link to read the rest)
