IslandSkin & DesertSkin

Wild Salves

After four years in close communion with the high desert plants, I felt the matter-of-fact desire to wear them on my skin, allowing them to directly interact with my body and its needs.

It felt deeply right, delightful, empowering and, hehe, revolutionary, like an act of rebellion.

I also love being a bridge between worlds— here, between the world of the wild and that of humans. Humans who want to to become closer to the wilderness, who trust in its goodness, who sense its healing potential, who are openers to the realness of its properties.

That’s how Desert Skin is 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 natural harmony

IslandSkin

Healing salves made in Hawai’i

The magic of Hawaii organically grown and wild harvested plant medicine

SACRED REPAIR

Currently offering SACRED REPAIR made with noni, a powerful fruit that intuitively meets the needs of the human body. That s why this salve is applicable to ALL parts of the body: wounds, scratches, bruises, lymphatic drainage, sore muscles, scalp and hair.
It features organic comfrey, amazing for connective tissue and collagen stimulation, local Hawaiian beeswax which is medicinal in itself, and amber crystals from India, that give it a subtly luxurious scent. A blend of organic coconut and olive oil carry the medical plant infusion. Added island love by yours truly makes this salve an all time favorite
