SKIN TYPE

Healthy aging for devitalized skin; suitable for most

Nutrients are often underestimated, yet they are the foundation of cellular vitality and healthy skin. These two foundational formulas are focused on deeply nourishing plants traditionally valued for strengthening the skin, supporting the visible markers of healthy collagen, elasticity, tone, and texture through whole-plant nutrients. This two-step ritual is intended to replace a single moisturizer as well as cosmeceutical anti-aging serums.

HYDRATING ELIXIR I
Applied as a mist, this super hydrator replenishes the skin through artisan-distilled hydrosols and herbalist-made extracts delivering water-soluble phytonutrients deep into the skin. MARSHMALLOW ROOT provides botanical hyaluronic acid and B vitamins that naturally bind moisture, while HEIRLOOM ROSE strengthens the skin barrier with protective polyphenols. For long-term resilience, LICORICE ROOT brightens and calms inflammation, while HAWTHORNE BERRY strengthens and firms. HIBISCUS CALYX and ROSEHIP FRUIT provide whole-plant vitamin C with its natural flavonoid cofactors.

ANTIOXIDANT SERUM
This nutrient-dense botanical infusion begins with fresh, raw, unrefined oils, delivering essential fatty acids, rejuvenating carotenoids, and vitamins that nourish and protect the skin. GOTU KOLA, HORSETAIL, and ROSEHIP support connective tissue and firmness, while COMFREY, NETTLE, and CALENDULA encourage healthy renewal. SEA BUCKTHORN and FRANKINCENSE help defend against oxidative stress, restoring brightness, resilience, and vitality.

USAGE
STEP 1: HYDRATE
Shake Elixir well with each use and mist directly and generously onto clean skin. Follow with Serum application while skin is still damp.

STEP 2: MOISTURIZE
Press 3–5 drops of Serum into the slightly damp face, neck, and décolleté. When additional moisture or barrier support is needed, follow with Balm.

RITUAL
Using too much Elixir is not a thing. Elixir should be applied before Serum, but it can also be applied after Serum, before a Balm, and after a Balm again. The more Elixir layers that are included in your ritual, the more deeply hydrated your skin will be.

As the Serum settles in, take a moment for slow, intentional massage. Release tension at the temples, sweep upwards on the forehead, glide down the neck several times to encourage lymphatic movement. Let the soft floral and resinous aromatics deepen your breath for just a moment.

Store these products in a cool, dry, and dark place. Use within 6 months of opening and by the recommended use-by date, which can be found on the bottom of each bottle.

A NOTE FROM LAUREL
Antioxidant Serum was the first formula I ever created, and it continues to be the one I cannot live without. It’s the product I reach for in every season. What stands out to me is just how essential it is – more specifically how essential nourishment is for our health and vitality. Internal and external nourishment, and how that path always leads to radiant skin. If I could only use one Laurel Skin product for eternity – Antioxidant Serum would still be “the one”.

Pairing this Serum with Hydrating Elixir I is entirely intentional and necessary. Each formula brings something the other cannot. Together, they deliver the complete spectrum of water- and lipid-soluble plant nutrients the skin relies on through every phase of growth, repair, and renewal.

They also feature an extraordinary abundance of plants from our home here in Northern California. Together, they are an ode to the vibrancy of this landscape and the privilege we have to of steward it.
