Antioxidant Serum

Antioxidant Serum is a potent, lipid-based facial serum and moisturizer — the most dynamic, nutrient-rich formula in our Serum collection. Fresh, raw, unrefined oils combined with powerful medicinal herbs create a remarkable depth of nourishment, providing the foundation for health and radiance. Rich in full-spectrum, whole plant antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, this formula supplies the essential nutrients skin relies on for vitality and long-term resilience.

KEY ACTIONS

  • Supplies nutrients needed for collagen integrity and cellular renewal
  • High antioxidant support for ongoing oxidative stress
  • Revitalizing + restorative blend of plants for tired, dull skin

SKIN TYPE

Healthy aging for devitalized skin; suitable for most skin types

Nutrients are often underestimated, yet they are the foundation of cellular vitality and healthy skin. Antioxidant Serum is built around deeply nourishing plants traditionally valued for strengthening the skin, supporting the visible markers of healthy collagen, elasticity, tone, and texture through whole-plant nutrients.

Our proprietary infusion process preserves the integrity of the plants and their full nutrient spectrum, bringing together connective-tissue-supportive and firming herbs like GOTU KOLA, HORSETAIL and ROSEHIP. To encourage healthy cellular renewal and maintain resilience, we include plants like COMFREY, NETTLE, and CALENDULA that have long been used in herbal traditions to reinforce vital skin structure.

SEA BUCKTHORN and FRANKINCENSE bring additional support for brightness and tone, helping skin recover from oxidative stress and environmental exposure while reducing the appearance of fine lines, discoloration and dullness.

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.

100% Whole Plant Organic

GOTU KOLA
Grown exclusively for us on a local regenerative farm, this vibrant plant supports the skin’s deeper architecture by protecting connective tissue and encouraging new collagen pathways. A cornerstone in any healthy-aging formula, Gotu Kola brings strength, renewal, and structural resilience.

CALENDULA
Grown by our own hands at our Biodynamic founding farm, Calendula flowers are deeply restorative. Rich in carotenoids and healing resins, it supports recovery from many forms of skin damage, easing hyperpigmentation, soothing inflammation, and strengthening the barrier with remarkable ease.

FRANKINCENSE
Our organic Frankincense is distilled by a Somalian-American family who travels to Somalia each year for harvesting. This ancient resin brightens, firms, and revitalizes skin affected by long-term free-radical stress, offering clarity and renewed tone.

POMEGRANATE
A lush, protective seed oil with a uniquely rich fatty acid profile, Pomegranate deeply hydrates and visibly plumps the skin. It prevents moisture loss, strengthens the lipid barrier, and envelops the complexion skin in antioxidants that support long-term radiance.

WHITE ROSE
This rare, organically cultivated White Rose is soothing, restorative, and exquisitely gentle. It supports hydration, barrier repair, and elasticity, lending a soft, petal-like vitality to the skin’s overall tone and texture.

JASMINE
Hydro-distilled exclusively for us — the only jasmine hydro-distillation of its kind we know of — this extract captures the true nature of the fresh flower without the use of hexane. Its aromatic and energetic qualities ease the nervous system while restoring luminosity to the skin.

˚organically grown ingredient

Laurel Skin formulas set a benchmark for high ingredient and formulation standards that the beauty industry would collectively consider unreasonable. Here are a few highlights that set our Antioxidant Serum apart from other facial oils.

  • Exclusive use of freshly pressed, unrefined, virgin oils to maintain antioxidant and nutrient availability
  • Exclusive use of 100% organic, biodynamic and regeneratively grown plants
  • A 3-month whole-plant infusion in every bottle
  • No lab-made, synthetic isolates, bioidenticals, or biomimetics – only whole plants
  • Micro-dosed essential oils for immediate phytonutrient support, without overwhelming the skin
  • The abbreviated list above cannot be found elsewhere – our level of care and integrity is proudly unreasonable.

    A NOTE FROM LAUREL
    This 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”.

    Each time I apply it, I think about the paths each plant took to reach the bottle… the oils pressed fresh for us by the gallon – at a slow drip rate of 10 hours per gallon. The vibrant extracts we craft in-house and the farms we’ve partnered with for years and who have become part of our extended family. This serum feels like pure vitality to me – a daily “revival” of each and every cell – and a reminder of what whole plants can do when nothing gets in their way.
