Iya Natural
Multi-Purpose Salve
This super soothing herbal healing salve is a moisturizing ointment rich in compounds that both soothe the skin and promote healing. It contains the healing herbs of Calendula, Chamomile, Yarrow, and St. John's Wort.
The herbs are heat-infused in Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) for a few hours, then the jar is placed in indirect sunlight near a window to continue slowly infusing in the oil for an additional 1-2 weeks.
It is a great multi-purpose healing salve with many uses, such as for:
- dry and irritated skin (e.g., eczema & psoriasis)
- minor cuts, scrapes, and burns
- diaper rash for babies and toddlers
- insect bites
- cracked hands and feet
- chapped lips
- chapped cheeks from cold winter wind
Herbal salves are a great natural choice to help care for your bodily needs. Trash that petroleum jelly and harness the healing power of plants.

Product information
Our Ingredients & Materials
At Iya Natural, we believe that what you put on your skin matters. That’s why we craft our products using high-quality, natural, and responsibly sourced ingredients. Our formulations are made with plant-based oils, nourishing butters, essential oils, natural clays, and botanicals that support healthy skin.
We avoid harsh chemicals, synthetic detergents, and unnecessary additives—focusing instead on safe, effective, and eco-friendly ingredients that honor both your body and the environment. Even our packaging and accessories are chosen with sustainability in mind, using materials that are reusable, recyclable, or biodegradable whenever possible.
Handmade Soap Care
Natural soaps are rich in oils and butters that nourish the skin, but they also absorb water easily. Here's how to help your bar last:
-
Keep It Dry Between Uses
Store your soap on a well-draining dish—like a wooden slotted soap dish or wire rack—to avoid it sitting in water and becoming mushy. -
Allow Airflow
Let your soap dry completely between uses. Proper airflow extends the life of your bar. -
Cut Larger Bars
Slice your soap into halves or thirds. Smaller pieces are easier to manage and allow you to rotate scents. -
Avoid Direct Sunlight
Natural colorants and essential oils can fade when exposed to light. Keep your soap in a cool, shaded space. -
Use a Soap Saver Bag
These reusable bags help exfoliate, create lather, and hang dry easily between showers.
Body Butter Care
Our whipped body butters are heat-sensitive and melt easily due to their natural composition. Here’s how to keep them at their best:
-
Store in a Cool, Dry Place
Keep butters away from direct sunlight or warm spaces like bathrooms or cars. -
Avoid Water Contact
Always use dry hands or a spoon to scoop product. Water in the jar can lead to spoilage. -
Close the Lid Tightly
Exposure to air shortens the shelf life—seal it up after every use. -
Apply to Damp Skin
Butters work best on damp skin after a shower or bath, locking in moisture naturally. -
If It Melts During Transit
No worries! Just pop it in the fridge for 30–60 minutes to allow it to solidify. Texture may change, but the benefits remain the same. We also highly recommend stocking up during cooler months to avoid shipping (and thus product melting during transit) during warmer months.
Body Polish Care
Our scrubs contain natural oils and exfoliants like salt, clay, and poppy seeds. Here’s how to care for them:
-
Stir Before Use
Oils may settle—simply mix the scrub well before each use. -
Scoop with Dry Hands or a Spoon 🥄
Avoid introducing water, which can cause spoilage or bacterial growth. -
Apply to Wet Skin
Massage gently in circular motions, then rinse to reveal smooth, glowing skin. -
Seal Tightly After Use
Keep moisture out and your scrub fresh by closing the lid tightly. - If It Melts During Transit
- No worries! Just pop it in the fridge for 30–60 minutes to allow it to solidify. Mix well before first use as sugar can settle to the bottom of the jar. We also highly recommend stocking up during cooler months to avoid shipping (and thus product melting during transit) during warmer months.
Herbal Salve & Balm Care
Herbal salves and balms are made with infused oils and essential oils to support skin repair and protection.
-
Store in a Cool, Dark Place
Light and heat can break down herbal compounds. A drawer or cabinet is perfect. -
Use Clean Fingers or a Spatula
Keep it clean and bacteria-free by using a tool or dry hands. -
Test on a Small Area First
Especially for sensitive skin, always patch-test new products before wider application. -
Keep the Lid Tightly Closed
Preserve the aroma and potency of herbal ingredients by sealing after each use.
