Combat the effects of harsh winter weather with this awesome concoction. “I use it as lip balm and hand cream, and I also slather it on cuts and scrapes,” says our gear editor, who packs this mini jar on just about every trip she takes.

It’s loaded with all sorts of organic natural goodies, like beeswax and oils that moisturize and protect; calendula, myrrh gum, and echinacea, which are anti-inflammatory and promote healing; and wildcrafted chaparral, which is an herbal antibiotic. $5; 1 oz.; jtreelife.com
