The Ridgeline Series

Wind, work and recovery — provisions for the high country.

The Ridgeline Series is the original Foraging Bee shelf: tallow-based salves poured for wind above treeline, hands that get cut, shoulders that get worked and lips that split at altitude. Every tin is colour-coded to its job and built on the same locally rendered grass-fed beef tallow.

Inspired by

The Canadian Rockies and the Similkameen benchlands above Princeton.

These formulas came off the Similkameen bench and out of the Rockies — the country where the wind never lets up, the descent is longer than the climb, and everything you carry has to earn its weight. RIDGE seals wind and cold-load exposure above treeline. FORGE handles the nicks, hot spots and scrapes of real work. RESET warms the tired quads and shoulders on the way down. STRIDE kills chafe before it starts. GUST holds a mineral seal on split lips at altitude. GRIZZLY conditions a working beard. The Explorer mark — the bearded wayfinder in the topographic ring — signs every lid.

Colour as the system

Alpine Teal, Forge Copper, Recovery Moss, Trail Sand, Summit Slate and Grizzly Sable — one colour per job, readable across a pack pocket or a retail shelf.

Tallow first, always

Locally rendered grass-fed beef tallow leads the ingredient deck on every tin — vitamins A, D, E and K2 in their native fat.

Gift-ready

The Christmas Hive Box pairs RIDGE, FORGE and RESET with a 355 ml jar of Princeton Valley Gold raw honey.

RIDGE Alpine Barrier Salve
RIDGE — The Foraging Bee explorer seal

Alpine Teal

RIDGE

Alpine Barrier Salve

Built for wind, altitude and cold-load exposure. RIDGE lays down an occlusive wax-and-resin barrier that holds through a full day above treeline, then breathes out overnight instead of suffocating the skin.

FORGE First-Aid Balm

Forge Copper

FORGE

First-Aid Balm

The tin that lives in the pack lid. FORGE is our propolis-forward field balm for nicks, hot spots, blisters and the small damage that ends long days early.

RESET Recovery Balm
RESET — The Foraging Bee explorer seal

Forest Green

RESET

Recovery Balm

For the hour after the summit. A warming arnica-and-devil's-club massage balm worked into quads, shoulders and forearms so tomorrow starts on the trail rather than in the tent.

STRIDE Chafe Defense Stick
STRIDE — The Foraging Bee explorer seal

Ochre Gold

STRIDE

Chafe Defense Stick

Glide, not grease. A dry-finish beeswax stick that kills friction at the pack strap, waistband and thigh across multi-day mileage — no residue on technical fabric.

GUST Expedition Lip Shield

Glacier Cyan

GUST

Expedition Lip Shield

Snow glare, dry cold and 40 km/h ridge wind. GUST holds a heavy wax seal on the lip line at temperatures where thinner balms simply disappear.

GRIZZLY Tallow Beard Balm
GRIZZLY — The Foraging Bee explorer seal

Grizzly Sable

GRIZZLY

Tallow Beard Balm

A big four-ounce tin of soft-set tallow beard balm — conditions coarse growth, tames the wire under the jaw and finishes with a low sheen of cedar, balsam poplar and wild bergamot rather than barbershop cologne.
