Island Skin
Sacred Botanicals handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii
SACRED REPAIR
The salve that started IslandSkin
The salve that started IslandSkin
Born from the desire to receive the gifts of the plants as directly as possible, SacredRepair is a versatile botanical balm expression of the intimate relationship between the plant realm and the human body.
As its heart is Hawaiian noni, one of the most remarkable plants I have ever encountered. Its fruit is traditionally treasured for its nourishing, healing, soothing, hydrating, and restorative qualities. Here, its botanical goodness is slowly infused into oils to create a rich salve for irritated, damaged, depleted, dry, repair-needed skin.
Organic comfrey brings another layer of botanical care, traditionally beloved for supporting the skin’s natural renewal and its relationship with connective tissue and collagen. Together, noni and comfrey create a simple yet powerful formula intended not for one specific concern, but for the many ways the skin experiences the external environment or responds to internal unbalances.
The plant infusion is lovingly carried in organic olive and coconut oils, chosen to nourish and soften the skin. Local Hawaiian beeswax gives the salve its rich, protective texture, while amber crystals lend a warm, luxurious and subtly aromatic depth. Nothing else in there, besides care and healing intentions.
GOLDEN LYMPHS
Gentle botanical support for lymphatic movement and flow
A deeply nourishing salve formulated to support the body’s natural lymphatic movement. A grounding blend of gotu kola, mugwort, and plantain, infused into rich sesame and castor oils, creating a lovely formula for massage and self-care. Massage into neck and throat, armpits, chest or limbs to encourage circulation, natural detox, movement and a sense of lightness. Great when the body feels heavy, congested, or stagnant, or whenever you want to give your lymphatic system a little extra support.
PURE SOLES
Natural protection for healthy feet
PureSoles is a natural anti-microbial and anti-fungal salve designed for foot health in particular. Its anti-microbial proprieties help keeping fungal growth and skin infections at bay. Blue turmeric, neem, guava leaves, noni, mamaki, lemongrass and kukui nut oil make this salve a potent remedy, so handy to have on our shelf or handbag. Perfect for tropical and humid climates, or for those who work and play in wet environments.
VitalBalm is the most yang of the IslandSkin formulas, concocted around Korean red ginseng, a revered root traditionally valued for vitality, stamina, and recovery. In Korea, ginseng has long been incorporated into nourishing foods and restorative preparations, especially during time when the body needs to rebuild its strength. Here, its warming character is brought into a rich botanical infusion designed for skin and body— a balm to reach for when you want warmth, energy, and a little more life in the body. It is ideal for ritual anointing and moments that call for vitality and confident action. Red ginseng, frankincense, and vitamin E rich rice bran oil come together in a warming formula for massage and anointing. Use it on muscles, joins, limbs, or anywhere you want to invite warmth and circulation, to feel more grounded, energized, and fully inhabiting your body.

After many years in close communion with plants wherever I lived on the planet, I felt the matter-of-fact desire to wear them on my skin-- to let them directly interact with my body and its needs. It felt deeply right, delightful, empowering and, hehe, revolutionary. Like an act of rebellion. I love being a bridge between worlds — between the wild and humans who want to become closer to the wilderness, who trust in its goodness and sense its healing potential. That's how both IslandSkin & DesertSkin formulas are born: handcrafted in devotion to the wild, to connect people to the exquisite support of plants — soothing, restoring, balancing, healing, nurturing, and awakening the skin's natural harmony. — Veronica
