I keep this in my first-aid kit now because the resinous texture makes it easy to dab right onto minor kitchen burns. It's deep red and earthy smelling, which took a day to get used to, but it calmed the angry skin faster than anything else I've tried.

My skin had a nasty scrape that wouldn't stop weeping, and this deep red resin formed a protective seal over it within minutes. It's genuinely like a natural liquid bandage, and I love that I can trust it as a first response.

The texture surprised me—sticky and thick like actual sap, but it spreads thin enough. My skin felt calmer by the second application, though the deep red color takes a bit of scrubbing to get off your fingers. Solid natural option for a first-response routine.
