CRISS Herbal Salve

Grandmother's skin remedy, in a jar.

A rich Jamaican herbal salve for skin that needs more than moisture: dry elbows, cracked heels, rough knuckles, tired hands.

• Made with King of the Forest (Senna alata), a herb Jamaicans have trusted for generations
• Cold-pressed, unrefined oils and real herbs, nothing artificial
• Melts into an oil on warm skin
• Ships to the US, Canada and worldwide

Why this exists

Your grandmother knew. Her grandmother knew. Long before skincare had labels and certifications, Jamaican women were pressing care into their hands and passing it down through touch. CRISS is that knowledge in a jar: a herbal salve rooted in the plant wisdom of the Caribbean, for skin that needs more than moisture.

The ritual

Warm a small amount between your fingertips until it melts into an oil. Press into dry elbows, cracked heels, rough knuckles, and anywhere your body holds tension. Use after a bath while your skin is still warm, at night as an overnight treatment, or whenever your body asks for care.

What's inside

• King of the Forest (Senna alata): a cherished herb in Jamaican plant tradition, used for generations on troubled skin
• Cold-pressed coconut oil: unrefined and deeply conditioning
• Castor oil: thick and nourishing, for very dry, rough areas
• Shea butter: rich in vitamins A and E; softens and helps hold in moisture
• Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis): a gentle, soothing herb from the mint family
• L-lysine: an amino acid, one of the building blocks of protein
• Tea tree essential oil: a fresh, clarifying botanical
• Beeswax: forms a breathable seal so skin stays soft overnight

Ingredients: Cold-pressed unrefined coconut oil, castor oil, shea butter, lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), king of the forest (Senna alata), L-lysine powder, beeswax, tea tree essential oil.
