Kalinga - Botanical Salve
Kalinga is a rich botanical salve infused with bayabas (guava leaf) and malunggay (moringa)—two plants deeply familiar in Filipino traditional care.
Guava leaves are naturally rich in antioxidant compounds, while malunggay is valued for its fatty acids and skin-conditioning properties. Their infused oils are blended with shea butter, kokum butter, and beeswax to help soften rough, dry skin and support the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
Petitgrain, Philippine elemi, and bergamot give Kalinga a fresh, green-citrus botanical character with a subtle resinous depth.
The name kalinga speaks to care, support, and looking after one another—a fitting name for an everyday salve made for hands, elbows, heels, and anywhere skin needs a little extra attention.
Warm a small amount between fingertips and massage into dry or rough skin as needed.
