Made With 2 Ingredients
Organic Beeswax
Our beeswax is sourced from farms across America, where it's carefully harvested from honeycombs, then gently filtered and melted to remove impurities. This natural wax is cooled, shaped, and blended into our skincare products, providing a protective barrier and deep hydration to soothe and nourish the skin.
Organic Hemp Seed Oil
Our hemp seed oil is minimally processed to retain its natural nutrients, crafted from organically grown plants, and cold-pressed to preserve essential fatty acids and antioxidants. This gentle processing ensures purity and potency, delivering a high-quality, skin-nourishing product ideal for hydration and repair.
Trail-Tested, Hiker-Approved

I've been using my Sierra Stick on everything from cuts to hangnails and dried out skin. I keep one in my hiking first aid kit and the other in my daily bag so I always have it on hand no matter what happens!

It's great for bug bites, general dry skin, and one of my favorite uses was chapstick. If I could bring one item with me to an island, It would be my Sierra Stick.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sierra Stick only for hikers?
While Sierra Stick is crafted by a hiker for hikers, its versatility extends to anyone seeking skincare.
How should I use Sierra Stick as an ointment for minor cuts, scrapes and wounds?
- CLEAN: Wash your hands and the injured area with soap and water.
- TREAT: With the wound cleaned, apply Sierra Stick in a thin layer on top of your wound.
- COVER: Protect the wound with a bandaid or sterile gauze and tape, replacing daily.
Why did my Sierra Stick turn white?
The natural ingredients in Sierra Stick may undergo a gradual discoloration after 9-12 months, reflecting the authentic and minimally-processed origins of our ingredients.
To extend its effectiveness, store tubes you are not using in a cool dark place or a refrigerator.
Does Sierra Stick have SPF Protection?
Sierra Stick doesn’t contain SPF protection. Personally, when I hike, I prefer using clothing like hats and long sleeves to block UV rays.
