Known locally as ‘Vir’ in Kashmiri, willow is deeply woven into Kashmir’s landscape, flourishing in the cool, moist conditions of the valley. Different willow species grow around riverbanks, wetlands and cultivated areas across Kashmir. Traditionally, willow leaves and bark have been used in local remedies, including preparations for fever and digestive discomfort, while its branches and wood became part of everyday life.

After a few weeks of using the Juniper Night Cream and Willow Bark Serum, my skin feels less congested and the overall texture looks smoother.
My skin felt nourished and hydrated, within 3 days of use. Now it feels like a second skin and the routine feels incomplete without it.
I was looking for something for oiliness and occasional breakouts that wouldn’t dry my skin out. The Willow Bark Serum and Juniper night cream feels gentle and has helped my skin look clear
Most pharma acne products used to dry my skin out and leave it feeling stretched. With Melissa’s night cream and serum, my acne has cleared without that tight feeling, and even the hyperpigmentation has reduced.
Layering Melissa’s serum and then day cream was so light on the skin and created a barrier against the dust and pollution. At the end of the day, I washed my face and yet the glow remained
The Willow Bark Serum helps with oiliness and congestion, the Mulberry Day Cream keeps my skin comfortable through the day, and the Juniper Night Cream feels calming and restorative at night
