No. 312 — The Yarrow & Wound‑Wood Styptic

The Botanical Sealing Ritual

A High‑Astringency Styptic Powder for Minor Surface Interruptions

Skin encountering small, sudden interruptions needs more than cleansing — it needs immediate astringency, mineral sealing, and fast stabilization. No. 312 — The Yarrow & Wound‑Wood Styptic was created for exactly that purpose. This moss‑green botanical powder delivers a sharp, decisive transition from disruption back toward dry equilibrium, forming a traditional mineral‑dense seal over minor nicks, scratches, and workshop interruptions.

Where No. 122 cleanses with botanical clarity and No. 133 restores strength and radiance, No. 312 follows with a fast‑acting blend of Yarrow, Bentonite, Kaolin, Pine Tar, and Eucalyptus Citriodora. These materials work together to create a clean, absorbent “Mineral Plug” that supports the skin’s natural sealing process. The powder settles into a fine, dry layer that reinforces stability without the heaviness of ointments — a field‑ready preparation for makers, gardeners, cooks, and craftspeople.

What It Does

No. 312 is built for the small, inevitable interruptions of a life lived with the hands — kitchen slips, workshop nicks, garden scratches, and minor surface breaks.

Yarrow Powder provides the high‑astringency foundation, creating a fast‑acting botanical seal that helps transition the skin toward dryness and stability. Bentonite and Kaolin Clays reinforce the mineral structure, forming an absorbent “plug” that supports the skin’s natural sealing process. Pine Tar contributes a smoky, resinous edge that enhances the traditional styptic profile. Eucalyptus Citriodora Oil adds a sharp, cooling snap that clarifies the aromatic identity and heightens the sensation of immediate response.

The result is a purposeful, field‑ready styptic powder that supports sealing, drying, and protection — a clean, decisive preparation for minor interruptions.

The Sensory Experience

No. 312 feels dry, fine, and moss‑green — a powder that settles instantly. The sensation begins with a sharp, cooling snap from eucalyptus, followed by the smoky, resinous depth of pine tar. It feels functional, fast, and intentionally astringent.

The Scent: Botanical Astringency

A clarifying, resinous aromatic identity crafted from your real materials:
