ELIXIRS + HYDROSOLS: AT A GLANCE
Hydration is vital for healthy skin – whether you’re oily or dry – and Hydrating Elixirs are the primary source of hydration in the Laurel Skin line. We find that our customers almost always need to be using more Elixir in their skin ritual. Our two-step approach to moisturizing combines hydrosol-based Elixirs with lipid-based Serums and Balms, creating the perfect oil-water balance for healthy skin, as well as the most positive results in your Laurel Skin ritual. Think of our Elixirs as a hybrid of what other brands often refer to as facial mists and treatment serums, providing delicate water-soluble nutrients like B vitamins, botanical hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and polysaccharides from our house made whole plant infusions. By using a Hydrating Elixir alongside a Serum and Balm from our line you are getting the widest breadth possible of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants for your skin.
HYDRATING ELIXIR I: PHYTONUTRIENT REPLENISH – Our best selling hydrator for normal, dry or sensitive skin.
Featuring: Rose, Calendula, Marshmallow + Astragalus
HYDRATING ELIXIR II: SUPPORT + RECOVER – A cooling, soothing hydrator for irritated, breakout prone, or inflamed skin.
Featuring: Chamomile, Lavender, Helichrysum + Lemon Balm
HYDRATING ELIXIR C: JASMINE HIBISCUS – A limited edition Jasmine-rich Elixir, featuring whole plant vitamin C and flavonoids.

Our Single Farm Hydrosols – each seeded, harvested, and master distilled all by the same hands – can be used for many different things. When using Hydrosols as skin medicine, they are hydrating and also provide a targeted skin treatment based on your choice of plant.
Beyond skin medicine, Hydrosols are body and spirit medicine. Being a single plant, they invite a deeper connection with that plant, while providing a unique aromatic experience. Visit each Hydrosol’s page to learn more about the full range of benefits they provide.
CALIFORNIA ROSE – For dry, sensitive or healthy aging skin.
Heart Medicine
CALENDULA – For sensitive or damaged skin.
Sunshine Medicine
CHAMOMILE – For irritated, inflamed, breakout prone skin.
Soothing Medicine
* Hydrosols do not contain more complex water soluble nutrients such as B vitamins, botanical hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and polysaccharides. For that reason, we see Hydrosols as an addition to a skin ritual, not as a complete substitution for a Laurel Skin Hydrating Elixir.

Jasmine rose elixir? /elixir 1–I am 74 years old-which elixir is best for me?I am mostly interested in aging gracefully- thank you
Hi Candace, thank you for this question! f your desire is for caring for your skin so that it is vibrant and healthy all along it’s journey, I would recommend our Hydrating Elixir I for you. This is one of our best-selling Elixirs. It’s high in vibrant aging nutrients that will help to firm, hydrate, plump and protect the skin. It’s also a core product meaning, it never goes out of stock so you can always have it on hand. Our Jasmine Hibiscus Elixir is a limited offering that is released in the summer and in the fall so, while it is beautiful and would be wonderful for you as well, the Hydrating Elixir I will be more consistent. You could alternate between the two, many of our customers do that are love to use them both. I hope this helps! Feel free to reach out to our Customer Care team, they are AMAZING and will guide you to the products that are best for you! You can email them as: customercare@laurelskin.com.
