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
SACRED REPAIR is the reason IslandSkin was born.
Made with noni, a powerful fruit that intuitively meets the needs of the human body, this salve is applicable to ANY part: face, wounds, scratches, bruises, irritated skin, sore muscles, dry skin, scalp. It is potently hydrating, soothing, repairing, regenerating, healing, and youthing.
It features organic comfrey, amazing for connective tissue and collagen stimulation, local Hawaiian beeswax, 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. All plants are wild- harvested or consciously grown— I like to think that is like wearing plant healing love on the skin.
GOLDEN LYMPHS
GoldenLymphs was created to gently support lymphatic drainage and movement, and therefore detoxification. Ideal to use on the lymph node areas, such as throat, armpits, breasts, and groin. Massaged into the thighs and arms it helps alleviate water retention thanks to the combined proprieties of gotukola, mugwort, plantain, sesame and castor oil. A little goes a long way
PURE SOLES
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.
VITAL BALM
VitalBalm is a warming formula crafted with Korean red ginseng to energize body and spirit. It is ideal for ritual anointing and moments that call for vitality and confident action. This very red ginseng has been used by Koreans in chicken soups and foods made for powerful recovery after sicknesses. At cellular level, it supports micro-circulation, alleviating muscular pain and gently stimulating your system. For this reason it is known to be aphrodisiac.
