Malagueta / Bay Rum Leaf
Pimenta racemosa
Remedios de Mami Series
Hand-macerated in small batches, our Alcoholado de Malagueta y Árnica pairs fresh malagueta leaf, also known as bay rum leaf (Pimenta racemosa), with Mexican árnica, rosemary, and eucalyptus in an alcohol base, then finishes with cooling camphor and menthol.
A cornerstone of Remedios de Mami, this formula is inspired by the bottles and jars that lived on family shelves long before many of us ever called what our families were doing “herbalism.” Alcoholado has long been part of Puerto Rican home-care traditions, especially in sobos, rub-downs, and everyday tending to a tired body after long days.
Ingredients
Isopropyl alcohol, distilled water, fresh malagueta leaf (Pimenta racemosa), Mexican árnica flower, eucalyptus leaf, rosemary leaf, menthol, camphor, eucalyptus essential oil, camphor essential oil, peppermint essential oil, and bay rum (malagueta) essential oil.

Botanical Herbal Salve for Everyday Skin Care
Part of our Remedios de Mami collection, Cocotazo is a soft, spreadable herbal salve made with olive oil infused with comfrey, calendula and plantain, then blended with mango butter and candelilla wax.
Inspired by the little knocks, bumps and cocotazos that always seemed to end with somebody reaching for a jar from the cabinet, this salve is made for dry, rough and hardworking skin that could use a little extra care.
The herbal infusion gives it a simple, old-school remedio feel, while mango butter adds richness and candelilla wax creates a smooth protective layer without making the salve overly hard or waxy.
To use: Massage a small amount onto clean, intact skin as needed. For external use only. Contains comfrey. For intact skin only. Do not apply to broken skin or open wounds. Not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or over large areas for extended periods. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
