Laurel Recovery Balm Soothe + Mend
A helpful remedy for practically any skin ailment from extreme dryness, eczema, perioral dermatitis, painful cystic acne, sensitive allergy-prone skin to the occasional cut, scrape, bug bite, or rash.
Product Details
This multi-functional balm reduces the appearance of redness, swelling, and irritation while offering up a therapeutic dose of whole plant goodness to jump-start and support the skin’s own healing process. In addition to being a family and household staple, this Balm is also a beloved facial moisturizer for inflamed, reactive skin or for those with considerable health concerns or sensitivities.
Tamanu Oil is the foundation and star of this formula. This vibrant green oil is what gives our Recovery Balm its color, along with its ability to correct microbial imbalances, reduce inflammation and create an overall environment for healing. Like most of our Laurel Skin formulas, this Balm contains a 3-month whole plant infusion. Calendula, Comfrey and Yarrow are all skin-healing herbs that support new cell growth and regeneration. The microdosed essential oils in Recovery Balm are Lavender, Helichrysum and Lemon Balm; each with a unique relationship to microbiome and skin, included to balance and repair.
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. While Recovery Balm has been an ongoing recommendation by dermatologists for perioral dermatitis, and we have obtained written testimonials from customers using it for eczema, shingles and general inflammation, we cannot guarantee those same results for every individual, nor can we advise on matters of health.
How to Use
Apply a very small amount (about 1/4 of a pea size) to face, neck, and chest after applying Elixir and Serum. This product can also be used on the body as often as needed. If using as a body moisturizer or body healing treatment, this can be aided with the use of a Hydrosol.
Use within 6 months of opening and by the recommended use-by date, which is found on the bottom of the bottle. Store this product in a cool, dry and dark place.
If your Balm melts in transit, it could have textural changes that make it less smooth. While this does not affect product performance, a smooth Balm texture is often more desirable. If you would like to restore your Balm’s texture, follow the instructions in this video. Do not leave your Balm in a hot location like your car or near a sunny window.

A calming, gel-like emulsion that gently removes daily pollutants, excess oil, makeup and sunscreen, and effectively detoxifies congested or breakout prone skin.
Product Details
This non-foaming and non-stripping facial cleanser is ideal to soothe red, irritated, or inflamed skin.
This Cleanser is feather light with an instant cooling effect on inflamed, acneic skin. It is also ideal for sun damaged skin or reactive skin in need of soothing support, while still encouraging detox and decongesting. It combines multiple Chamomile varieties, Calendula, Licorice, Lavender, and raw Honey all for calming in order to promote optimal skin health. Inflammation should always be the first symptom addressed in any situation where the skin is in a state of stress. The light oils of Sunflower and Safflower are our favorites for dissolving blackheads and oxidized sebum in pores. This multitasker does all of the above, while hydrating and keeping our lipid barrier intact and healthy.

Ingredients
German + Roman Chamomile – Organically farmed and harvested exclusively for Laurel in the Pacific Northwest, both variations of Chamomile are cooling and soothing to irritated and problem skin.
Grapefruit and Blood Orange – Non-photosensitizing Citrus oils are ideal for balancing the skin’s natural oil production, and make for a refreshing cleanse. These oils are distilled fresh for Laurel by an artisan distiller in California.
Calendula – Calendula two ways; in Hydrosol form as well as a whole plant extraction. Calendula is ideal for cleansing by encouraging cellular turnover, regeneration and improving anti-inflammatory pathways.
Safflower and Sunflower – Our two favorite raw and freshly pressed seed oils for cleansing are in perfect balance here to decongest pores and minimize their appearance by attaching to our own oxidized oils so they can be easily wiped away.
Honey – Our small batch, raw California honey has naturally occurring enzymes that help with gentle and healthy cell turnover.
Burdock, Dandelion, Licorice, Echinacea – Our in-house Root decoction is purifying, cleansing, brightening and stimulating for surface immunity. These are all prebiotics for a diverse microbiome.
Apple Cider Vinegar – Contains malic and lactic acids that help soften and exfoliate the skin. It is powerful, and we only use it in a very small quantity, keeping this very gentle and suitable for all skin types.
French Pink Clay – Pink Clay is the gentlest of clays and doesn’t dry out the skin. It improves circulation and promotes the release of deep pore congestion.
Full Ingredient List: Chamomile Hydrosol˚, Calendula Hydrosol˚, Lavender Hydrosol˚; House Made Aqueous Extracts of Burdock˚, Dandelion˚, Licorice˚, Echinacea˚; Safflower Oil˚, Sunflower Oil˚, Rosehip Seed Oil˚, Coconut Oil˚, Honey˚, Olive Wax (Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate), Vegetable Glycerine˚, Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Jojoba Oil˚, French Pink Clay, Vegetable Lecithin˚; House Made Whole Plant Extracts of Licorice˚, Calendula˚, Rosemary˚, Cleaver˚; Apple Cider Vinegar˚; Essential Oils of Grapefruit˚, Blood Orange˚, Sandalwood˚, Roman Chamomile˚; Scarlet Pimpernel Flower Essence˚, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Sorbate
Due to a change in ingredient availability, Support Cleanser now contains Radish Root Ferment Filtrate instead of Citrus Extract. All the other whole plant ingredients you know and love remain the same.
Because of this necessary change, you may notice your Cleanser is a slightly lighter color and you may feel a slightly different texture. Radish Root Ferment Filtrate is already a trusted ingredient used in Laurel’s Hydrating Elixir formulas which makes it an ingredient that is already recognized and familiar to your skin.
A concentrated moisturizer, treatment serum, and elemental defense oil in one.
Product Details
Its name comes from its ability to support all skin functions by lifting the burden of inflammation, the root cause of all secondary skin symptoms. Secondary skin symptoms include, but are not limited to acne, rosacea, redness, broken capillaries, excessive dryness, loss of elasticity, and even hyperpigmentation. It contains plants which have a lymph affinity; encouraging ease, flow, and release of the stagnation that shows up in our Qi, lymph, fascia, and connective tissue. The Unburden Serum encourages and supports all cellular functioning to continue with ease and grace, transforming skin to a state of tranquility.
The ratio of lipid oils in this particular Serum is quite different from our other Serums, making this one of our richer and more moisturizing Serums. The oils in the Unburden Serum are all centered around their anti-inflammatory ability. Soothing and calming, while still raw and unrefined, Evening Primrose, Jojoba and Tamanu are blended together to be gentle enough for any arising skin concern. Chia and Pomegranate are added to give this moisturizer more viscosity. These more “cushiony” oils soften and slow the delivery of some of our more potent healing botanical infusions. Plants like Baical Skullcap, Licorice Root and Helichrysum provide powerful plant medicine, addressing more chronic instances of long-term inflammation and irritation. Like almost all Laurel Skin products, essential oils are microdosed in the Unburden Serum, revered as healing tools, rather than using them for scent. At the lowest percentage found in any of our products, the oils in this Serum are well-received and helpful to even the most reactive of skin types. German Blue Chamomile and Helichrysum have a great ability to repair, de-stagnate, and calm both the mind and skin.
– Sensitive / Inflamed / Cystic Acne / Redness

How to Use
After applying Elixir first for hydration, then apply 3-5 drops of Serum into fingertips and press into wet face and neck. Follow with Balm, if desired. This product works as a treatment serum, a moisturizer, and it strengthens your skin’s response to the sun and environmental elements.
Use within 6 months of opening and by the recommended use-by date, which is found on the bottom of the bottle. Store this product in a cool, dry and dark place.
Ingredients
Evening Primrose – Freshly pressed and produced exclusively for our line, this California-made raw, unrefined oil reduces inflammation with its vast essential fatty acid profile, while it aids in reducing the appearance of fine lines and scarring.
German Chamomile – This azulene-rich plant is a cooling relief to red or irritated skin of any kind. It is a potent anti-inflammatory that provides soothing, gentle regeneration. This plant often gets confused with Blue Tansy, sometimes referred to as Moroccan Chamomile, but German Chamomile is actually much gentler and soothing to the skin and poses less opportunity for reactivity.
Baical Skullcap – As lovers of herbal medicine, this is by far the most potent anti-inflammatory that we have found. It has a strong antihistamine-like effect and supports the skin to work through reactivity with ease. This vibrant yellow root is also specific to allergic reactions and supports skin that often flares up in response to food and environments.
Helichrysum – Freshly distilled for us in the Pacific Northwest, this little yellow flower is as gentle as it is potent. It strengthens tissues and supports healthy cellular activity, and reduces the appearance of scars and broken capillaries. This plant is a true healer, and a powerful anti-inflammatory.
Lemon Balm – This nutrient-rich green leaf, also known as Melissa, is high in delicate antioxidants that work swiftly to reduce free radical damage. It is specific to mending and soothing inflamed and problematic skin, and it also has a lymph and immune system affinity that has a regulatory effect. This plant speaks directly to the name of this Serum, Unburden, because its Rosmarinic Acid content can have a reduction and positive effect on lymphedema, puffiness and water retention.
This serum also contains plants that have been studied for their ability to support our skin against UV damage, such as Red Raspberry Seed, Cranberry Seed, and Jojoba.

A concentrated moisturizer, treatment serum, and elemental defense oil that addresses the symptoms that come with overexposure to the sun.
Product Details
By combining the most current botanical research on phytonutrients with centuries-old plant traditions, this repairing serum delivers a firmer more supple appearance, a brighter more even tone, and a visible reduction in irritation and discoloration.
Our Sun Serum is ideally applied both before and after time spent in the sun, as it features whole plant extracts that address both prevention and repair through the use of antioxidant-dense and anti-inflammatory botanicals. Whole plants rich in carotenoids, resveratrol, flavonoids, polyphenols, and essential fatty acids are blended mindfully to help prevent UV damage. This Serum’s reported repairing abilities include quick recovery from sunburn to a slow and steady brightening of years of chronic sun damage. Tiny, sun-loving Scarlet Pimpernel flower has been used historically for sun-kissed skin, along with healing, resinous Calendula. Licorice Root and Bilberry have both been researched extensively for brightening-up long term sun-induced hyperpigmentation. While Licorice Root reduces inflammation and directly acts to reduce melanin production, Bilberry flavonoids prevent oxidation and work to strengthen and protect. Nutrient dense fruit and seed oils from Sea Buckthorn, Rosehip, and Red Grape provide elemental defense with EFAs, carotenoids, and resveratrol. Soothing plants Chamomile and Marshmallow Root soften and provide relief to immediate irritation and redness, while Gotu Kola and Carrot Seed firm connective tissue over time. Oils like our Red Raspberry and Jojoba are all raw and unrefined, offering additional antioxidant defense against UV induced oxidation.

Ingredients
Scarlet Pimpernel – This tiny coral flower represents joy and strength. Laurel’s spirit plant grows wherever she goes. It thrives and relishes in the sunshine as a common weed, and has been used historically to reverse sun damage for centuries. By stimulating circulation and bringing new life to cells, rough sun damaged skin is repaired. Simultaneously, Scarlet strengthens our ability to flourish healthily in the full glory of the sun.
Carrot Seed – This antioxidant-rich, aromatic oil helps to firm and soften the skin, repairing chronic UV damage related symptoms such as uneven skin tone and loss of elasticity. Ours is seeded, harvested, and distilled just for us by a farm in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
Licorice – This organically cultivated root is a powerful anti-inflammatory, containing phytoconstituents that provide immediate relief, improving all skin functions. Licorice has been studied extensively for its ability to balance and slow melanin production, making it a brightening ally for hyperpigmentation and scarring.
Sea Buckthorn – This concentrated superfood extract is made of the whole fruit and seed, which makes it a wealth of its entire range of essential fatty acids, vitamin C, flavonoids and carotenoids. Its whole plant synergy works together to strengthen connective tissue and prevent its breakdown.
Marshmallow – This gentle root is an ideal skin softener for those who have spent years basking in the sun’s glow. Grown just miles from our Petaluma apothecary-lab, Marshmallow is a soothing anti-inflammatory to address redness and irritation of any kind.
Red Raspberry Seed Oil – Our organic, unrefined Red Raspberry Seed oil is custom-pressed for us and contains nutrients making it specific for both pre- and post-sun care. It’s a beautiful, soft, antioxidant-rich oil that offers a wide variety of essential fatty acids. It contains both carotenoids and flavonoids, such as Rutin. Both the whole oil itself and its individual constituents have been closely studied for their ability to prevent UV induced skin damage.
Red Grape Seed Oil – When we are seeking Resveratrol, not just any grape seed oil will do. It has to be raw, unrefined, and made with red grapes in order to help protect and repair our skin from UV damage. This is incredibly rare in the world of skin care. It is deep greenish blue in color, and it smells just like grapes. When examining our ingredients, Red Grape falls pretty far down on the list, and that is strictly due to its potency. If you are using products with Grape as a primary ingredient, and the product doesn’t smell like grapes, then that can be an obvious cue that it has been refined and the necessary antioxidants that promote UV defense and repair are no longer present.
This serum also contains plants that have been studied for their ability to support our skin against UV damage, such as Red Raspberry Seed, Cranberry Seed, and Jojoba.

The Honey Berry Mask: Enzymatic Glow has dense superfood ingredients that contain whole fruit acids, enzymes and antioxidants, making it a true multitasker.
Product Details
This Mask acts as a brightening enzymatic exfoliator, a hydrator that visibly plumps and firms the skin, and an antioxidant-rich feast for an overall healthy glow. It’s no surprise that this all-skin, all-season facial treatment is a longstanding fan-favorite. This Mask contains an abundance of enzymes, vitamin C, flavonoids, polyphenols, and B vitamins, each in their synergistic whole plant form. Suitable for all skin types with the exception of extremely sensitive or reactive skin.
Our Honey Berry Mask highlights familiar superfoods grown in our own backyard: Aronia Berry, Blackberry, and Raspberry, each with their unique set of flavonoids to strengthen the skin and repair free radical damage. Raw Honey along with a pinch of Papaya Seed create a gentle enzymatic exfoliation, brightening and softening. Hints of Vanilla, Frankincense and a rare Orange Blossom Enfleurage harmonize with all the fruits to lift the spirit and inspire joy.

How to Use
Moisten face and hands. Apply 1 teaspoon or less of Honey Berry Mask to fingertips, then glide and massage over damp clean skin. Leave for 10-30 minutes, then rinse.
If your Honey Berry Mask has solidified or contains what looks like grains of sugar, that is normal raw honey crystallization. Crystalized honey is not intended to be used as a manual scrub, which would be harsh on facial skin. Take a scoop of 1 tsp or less and warm it in your fingers until it softens, then gently pat onto dry skin, in a style often referred to as “honey tapping“. Once applied evenly, add water and use normally. You can also place your entire enclosed jar of Honey Berry Mask in a hot water bath which will soften and liquify the honey.
Use within 6 months of opening and by the recommended use-by date, which is found on the bottom of the jar. Keep contents of jar dry and free from moisture.
Ingredients
Honey – Our raw, organically farmed California honey is fresh and vibrant, delivered directly by our partnering farms. Honey is an ideal choice to balance the microbiome: with the ability and intelligence to halt the overgrowth of harmful bacteria colonies while still leaving allowance for a diverse beneficial microbiome to exist. It has gentle enzymatic action that works to turn over cells in a non-forceful way. As if that wasn’t enough, Honey is hydrating, and visibly plumps and firms the skin.
Raspberries – Organic raspberries have dense vitamin C and bioflavonoid content. They are high in enzymes and gentle acids which help to exfoliate and brighten skin tone, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation of all kinds.
Blueberries – Blueberries are a superfood buffet of different antioxidants including anthocyanins, polyphenols, resveratrol, along with vitamin C and its helpful cofactors. Antioxidants work by preventing cellular damage from occurring by neutralizing free radicals and strengthening our skin’s overall health.
Blackberries – Blackberries grow abundantly in our California home. Like the other berries above, Blackberries also contain vitamin C, and are an excellent source of manganese, which is an important building block for collagen formation.
Aronia Berry – Aronia is another fruit we have been loving lately, because not only is it an antioxidant and resveratrol-rich superfood, but it grows effortlessly in most of North America. We love it when superfoods don’t have such a big carbon footprint! This one is grown for us by a farm in the Pacific Northwest.
Grapefruit + Sweet Orange – Both Grapefruit and Sweet Orange essential oils are specific for balancing the skin as well as lifting the spirit. Both of these oils are hydro-distilled just for us; which means there is no concern for phototoxicity, since those furocoumarins in question are not even present in hydro-distillations.

A waterless, rich, and concentrated moisturizer that sinks deeply into the skin, repairing free radical damage and restoring vibrancy.
Product Details
Potent, raw, unrefined botanicals are selected to regenerate the skin, supporting all aspects of radiant skin health. Its carotenoid-rich profile is specific to brightening and evening skin tone, alongside polyphenols for strengthening and building connective tissue for firm and supple skin. Dense nutrients and antioxidants found in our whole plants provide every necessary building block for overnight skin repair, either from long term damage or from daily free radical activity. Night Balm is best suited for normal, dry, or mature skin with an emphasis on aging vibrantly.
Rosehips and Roses are the center of the Night Balm formula. The combination of these two ingredients (actually parts of the same plant) are what make the Night Balm excel at skin damage repair and connective tissue strengthening. Rosehips are ideal for scarring and hyperpigmentation. The fruit and seed contain high amounts of Vitamin C, E and A – more specifically, trace amounts of trans-retinoid acid*, as well as high amounts of precursor carotenoids. Roses restore a damaged lipid barrier, as well as firm connective tissue. Their petals contain waxy lipids that are similar to our skins own ceramides. Pomegranate is a notable powerhouse in this formula too, instantly plumping and moisturizing with its long-chain lipids which envelope each cell in soothing support.
The Night Balm is slightly richer than our lighter Day Balm. The Night Balm’s lipids are more reparative, while the Day Balm’s are more protective. The Night Balm’s scent is of rose and spice, and the Day Balm is of light citrus blossom.
*This is not like using a retinol, because this vitamin A is still balanced and within the context of its ‘whole plant’ make up, making any retinol related concerns a non-issue.

Pomegranate Oil – One of the most beautiful oils that we work with. Pomegranate Oil is rich and thick by nature; it is healing to skin barriers that have been damaged over time by inflammation.
Sea Buckthorn Oil – This concentrated superfood extract is made of the whole fruit and the seed, which maintains its wide range of essential fatty acids, vitamin C and carotenoids. Vibrant Sea Buckthorn works to strengthen connective tissue and prevents collagen breakdown.
Rose Hip Seed Oil – Our Rosehip Oil is incredibly special because it comes from both fruit and seed, making more vitamins and nutrients available. There are no oils that match the unique chemical make-up of Rosehip Oil, which has been used for centuries and studied at length for its ability to reduce the appearance of scars, repair deep cellular damage, and minimize the appearance of fine lines by supporting collagen and connective tissue.

Product Details
Our Hydrating Elixirs are an essential step to hydration within a Laurel Skin ritual. This is a hydrating mist/serum combination, made of artisan distilled single farm hydrosols, along with a combination of herbalist-made and housemade whole plant extracts. The plants chosen for this Elixir bring an abundance of polysaccharides, B vitamins, enzymes, bioflavonoids, polyphenols, resveratrol, vitamin C, and plant humectants that mimic hyaluronic acid; all phytonutrients within their whole plant synergy. This microbiome balancing Elixir is good for all skin types, and is best suited to dry, mature, sensitive, and rosacea symptoms.
Heirloom Rose is the prominent plant in this formula, while earthy roots, barks, mushrooms and spicy resins play an important role to make this formula more deeply hydrating, restorative, and diverse in beneficial plant constituents. Marshmallow Root is a key player, which has the ability to deeply hydrate fascia and move through stagnation with its unique combination of helpful minerals, B vitamins, and mucilaginous compounds. Polysaccharides found in Reishi Mushroom and Saponins in skin-brightening Licorice Root soothe the skin and help nutrients to move through the lipid barrier. Resins and barks strengthen and promote cellular healing and repair from artisan distilled Sandalwood and Frankincense hydrosols. Vitamin C, alongside all of its helpful co-factors, is present and plentiful in Hibiscus, Hawthorn, Schisandra, and colorful Rose petals. Rose is an ideal plant for sensitive skin and repairing a damaged skin barrier. Roses are present in this Elixir in five different forms: hydrosol, two different types of fresh heirloom petal infusions, Rosehip supercritical extract, and a hint of rare White Rose essential oil.

Rose – Multitude of Roses! Rose hydrosol and rare White Rose essential oil both have hydrating and barrier strengthening properties. Housemade extracts of local heirloom roses within two different mediums, each capture an abundance of nutrients such as Vitamin C, flavonoids, anthocyanin, and gallic acid. Roses are gentle and soothing to the skin, while deeply hydrating and supportive to connective tissue.
Marshmallow – This mucilaginous and polysaccharide rich root has an incredible ability to hydrate. It is nature’s form of hyaluronic acid, plumping up each cell with hydration and wrapping them in what feels like a cooling hug. It is high in B Vitamins and betaine making it soothing, healing, anti-inflammatory, and softening to the skin.
Rose Geranium – Our biodynamic Rose Geranium Hydrosol from California is an extraordinary gem. Rose Geranium is strengthening and repairing to broken capillaries, as well as balancing to oil production, pH levels, and the skin’s microbiome.
Calendula – Find both Calendula Hydrosol and a whole plant Calendula extract in this Elixir, in order to fully capture each medicinal compound within this powerhouse plant. Calendula is a resinous, healing humectant that helps our skin retain its hydration and a supple glow. Calendula is a true tonic with an impact on a cellular level and can restore skin health like no other.
Astragalus – Astragalus has been closely studied for its ability to strengthen and repair telomeres, which are responsible for cellular aging. Telomere repair is essentially DNA repair. Astragalus is also anti-inflammatory, stimulates surface immunity, and supports connective tissue health.
Helichrysum – Grown in the Pacific Northwest and artisan distilled, our Helichrysum Hydrosol is powerful medicine. Cooling and soothing Helichrysum is deeply regenerative to the skin, and healing to scars and sun damage.

Essential Lipids: Delicate Barrier is a multi-purpose moisturizer, cleanser, and facial oil specifically created for reactive skin and heightened sensitivities.
Product Details
This focused blend of whole plant lipids comes together to mirror and support our skin’s own natural lipid barrier. This nourishing oil is soothing and supportive to all skin types, even the most sensitive.
Sensitivities and allergies to certain plants can steer some people away from using whole plant products. One objective with Essential Lipids is to make whole plants more accessible to those individuals with allergies and sensitivities. It is nut oil free, rosehip oil free, and essential oil free. It is also vegan and gluten free. We are glad to be offering this Laurel Skin two-in-one product for those sensitive and/or allergy-prone folks who have always wanted to use our line, but haven’t been able to due to ingredient allergies.
Essential Lipids is also highly recommended for those with a damaged lipid barrier, skin in healing crisis, and for those with autoimmune conditions or in treatment for serious illness. This product is also well suited to someone transitioning to the Laurel line for the first time from a more conventional or clinical line.
Damaged lipid barriers can stem from all sorts of things, including mask-wearing, foaming facewash, alcohols, retinols, chemical peels, over-exfoliating, and more. If you are drawn to using this product to help heal a damaged lipid barrier, then we recommend using it in tandem with our Chamomile Single Farm Hydrosol for the best results. Ideally, this extremely gentle skin ritual will be a healing steppingstone into the rest of the Laurel line for someone with a more vulnerable barrier.

Ingredients
Jojoba – Jojoba is chemically a wax, as opposed to an oil. Jojoba is nature’s own ceramides, a waxy lipid that is found in our skin sebum and essential to a healthy lipid barrier. ‘Ceramide’ means unit of measurement of wax and waxes are found throughout many whole plants. Jojoba is known for resembling our skin’s natural wax barrier more than any other plant; and unrefined raw Jojoba has the ability to restore a damaged skin barrier on its own.
Calendula – Calendula is a plant that is a true necessity for healthy skin. It is deeply restorative and healing on a cellular level, with an abundance of carotenoids and resins that our skin can use with ease. It is excellent for aiding the healing of skin damage. Cholesterol is another lipid found in our skin’s protective barrier, and Calendula mirrors that with its high phytosterol content. The Delicate Barrier process begins with seeding Calendula flowers at our partnering farms, and eventually leads to a 3-month infusion process. To ensure we are capturing the full range of phytosterols and the other beneficial constituents Calendula offers, we combine our proprietary maceration process with a Calendula whole-plant pressurized concentrate.
Pomegranate Oil – This is quite possibly the most beautiful oil that we work with. It is rich and thick by nature, but penetrates deeply and is incredibly healing to skin barriers that have been damaged over time by inflammation.
Evening Primrose Seed Oil – This California-made oil is freshly pressed and produced exclusively for our line. It reduces inflammation with its vast essential fatty acid profile, while also aiding in reducing the appearance of fine lines and scarring.
Cranberry Fruit + Seed Oil – Our Cranberries are delicately dried and cold pressed to create one of my favorite seed oils. Cranberry Seed Oil is high in resveratrol, polyphenols, and essential fatty acids 3, 6, and 9. It is a cooling anti-inflammatory, rich in tannins + strengthening minerals.

Rose – We utilize a rare White Rose in this formula, organically cultivated for impactful environmental sustainability. Rose is gentle, hydrating, soothing and protective, as well as plumping and firming to the skin.

Burdock and Dandelion Root – This in-house Root decoction assists in cleansing and detoxing by carrying away impurities and cellular waste.
Honey – Our small batch, raw California Honey has enzymatic action that helps with gentle and healthy cell turnover.
Safflower and Sunflower – Our two favorite raw and freshly pressed seed oils for cleansing are in perfect balance here to decongest pores and minimize their appearance by attaching to our own oxidized oils so they can be easily wiped away.

Due to a change in ingredient availability, Effortless Cleanser now contains Radish Root Ferment Filtrate instead of Citrus Extract. All the other whole plant ingredients you know and love remain the same.
Because of this necessary change, you may notice your Cleanser is a slightly lighter color and you may feel a slightly different texture. Radish Root Ferment Filtrate is already a trusted ingredient used in Laurel Hydrating Elixir formulas which makes it an ingredient that is already recognized and familiar to your skin.
The Day Balm is a waterless, lightweight moisturizer that effortlessly melts into the skin.
Product Details
It provides a layer of antioxidant and lipid protection that keeps skin soft and seals in hydration and moisture throughout the day. Its raw, whole, organic plants are carefully chosen to help protect the skin from daily environmental stressors, including free radical damage and inflammation from UV light. The concentrated, antioxidant-rich botanicals envelop each cell, creating a barrier of defense. This Balm, with its abundance of carotenoids, vitamin E and polyphenols, works well with most skin types and is focused on restoring health and radiance, while promoting aging vibrantly.
The making of the Day Balm begins with a 3-month whole plant infusion of Calendula, Chamomile and Lemon Balm – and a plethora of other notable skin-loving plants. Each with a specific purpose to strengthen the skin with its vast network of antioxidants, and to support the skin by reducing inflammation. Those two actions are key to preventing oxidative damage. Layers of fruit oils make the Day Balm unique: Sea Buckthorn, Red Raspberry, Rosehip and Cranberry bring an abundance of carotenoid and flavonoid protection. Sweet smelling local Beeswax combined with Shea Butter provide a hint of staying power throughout the day, slowing the rate at which the nutrients absorb to ensure their support is long-lasting.
The Day Balm is the lightest of all of the Laurel Skin Balms, and primarily differs from the Night Balm in the light molecular weight of its lipids, its emphasis on botanicals that are specific to UV damage prevention, and its citrus blossom scent.

How to Use
Apply a very small amount (about 1/4 of a pea size) of Day Balm to face, neck, and chest after applying Elixir and Serum.

If your Balm melts in transit, it could have textural changes that make it less smooth. While this does not affect product performance, a smooth Balm texture is often more desirable. If you would like to restore your Balm’s texture, follow the instructions in this video. Do not leave your Balm in a hot location like your car or near a sunny window.
Ingredients
Neroli – The scent of fresh, bright citrus blossom, Neroli, is uplifting and joyful. In addition to brightening the scent of the Day Balm, Neroli also has a brightening, toning, and balancing effect on the skin.
Calendula – Our vibrant biodynamic Calendula is farmed and hand-harvested flower by flower exclusively for Laurel Skin. Calendula contains valuable healing resins that make it both deeply restorative and protective on a cellular level. Its abundance of carotenoids and flavonoids make it specific to addressing sun damage prevention and repair.
Carrot Seed – This soothing aromatic oil helps reduce irritation, as well as stimulates the skin’s healing response to sun exposure. It has been shown to firm the skin and brighten discoloration.
Rosehip – Our Rosehip Oil is special because it comes from both fruit and seed, making a wider variety of vitamins and nutrients available within the oil. There are no oils that match the unique chemical makeup of Rosehip Oil, which contains retinoic acid, vitamin E, carotenoids, flavonoids, and vitamin C within the fruit. It has been traditionally used and modernly studied for its ability to reduce the appearance of scars and hyperpigmentation, and to minimize the appearance of fine lines by supporting collagen and connective tissue.
Gotu Kola – Gotu Kola is a plant that supports connective tissue and collagen, by protecting it and encouraging new growth. Our Gotu Kola is the most vibrant in the world, grown exclusively for us by a nearby farm. It is a plant that we truly cannot do without in any healthy aging formula.

Gotu Kola – Gotu Kola is a plant that supports connective tissue and collagen by protecting it and encouraging new growth. Our Gotu Kola is the most vibrant that we’ve found in the world, grown exclusively for us by a nearby farm. It is a plant that we truly cannot do without in any healthy aging formula.

It is excellent for most forms of skin damage, from hyperpigmentation to barrier repair.
Frankincense – Our certified organic Frankincense is distilled by a Somalian-American family who travels to Somalia each year for harvesting. This beautiful resin has been used for centuries to brighten, firm, and strengthen the skin; it being especially helpful for chronic long-term free radical damage.
Pomegranate – This thick and rich seed oil is protective and nourishing.

Hydrating Elixir II: Support + Recover delivers immediate hydration and soothing relief to reactive, irritated, inflamed skin.
Product Details
Our Hydrating Elixirs are an essential step to hydration within a Laurel Skin ritual. This product is a hydrating mist/serum combination, made of cooling artisan distilled single farm hydrosols, along with a combination of herbalist-made and housemade whole plant extracts. This vitamin, mineral, and antioxidant-rich mist calms and relieves the skin while balancing the skin’s microflora for a clear complexion. The plants in this blend boast many hydrating, nutritive, and anti-inflammatory constituents like curcumin and azulene, along with B vitamins, enzymes, salicylic acid*, polyphenols, and humectant complexes that mimic hyaluronic acid. This Elixir is good for all skin types, but is especially well-suited to acne, inflammation of any kind, hyperpigmentation, and skin that is in need of extra soothing support in order to function in a healthy way.
Chamomile is the star of the show, with its blue-tinged hue coming from azulene, a cooling and soothing plant phytochemical. A mist of this Elixir is reminiscent of an unruly flowering herbal garden, with Neroli, Lemon Balm, and Helichrysum present to support the skin as they have for centuries. A delicate California Orange Blossom enfleurage brightens up this blend with its ethereal scent and balancing medicine. Whole plant herbal infusions such as Milky Oats and Calendula aid in thorough and deep hydration, supporting our skin’s lipid and microbial barrier. Anti-inflammatory champions, such as Licorice, Turmeric and Passionflower provide immediate relief to skin experiencing symptoms ranging from chronic acne to mild irritation.
*Not to be confused with isolated lab-made salicylic acid, which often comes with negative side effects for the skin. Salicylic Acid is naturally found in the delicate, healing Meadowsweet plant. When plants’ phytochemicals are accompanied by each other – as Nature intended – they are able to work together in a balanced way that does not come with most of the side effects associated with isolated lab-made chemicals.

Chamomile – Our German Chamomile Hydrosol, grown and distilled in the Pacific Northwest, is the ultimate cooler, soother, and reliever for reactive, red, or inflamed skin. It is as powerful and strong as it is calming, and beneficial to everyone.

Lavender – Our Biodynamic Lavender Hydrosol is a rare treasure, grown and distilled just miles from our Petaluma Barn. It is calming and cooling to the skin, but most of all balancing to oil production, pH, and our microbiome. This is a plant that can truly help with both chronic acne and mild breakouts.
Turmeric – Our whole plant organic Turmeric extract is deeply anti-inflammatory to reactive skin and acneic skin. It is brightening, and contains an abundance of flavonoids and polyphenols for antioxidant activity.

Meadowsweet is also a source of salicylic acid while simultaneously offering anti-inflammatory and mucilagenous compounds, making the sometimes negative effects of isolated salicylic nonexistent.
Lemon Balm – This unique hydrosol and essential oil is rare and delicate. Its high antioxidant content is specific to cellular renewal and repair. It also has a lymph affinity, inspiring movement and flow over stagnation. It can have a balancing effect on our surface immunity and microbiome.
