Imagine sitting in a wooded clearing high on a mountaintop, looking down at the crashing, majestic Pacific Ocean. Before your gaze finds the sea, it lingers on a field of wild blossoms, soft grasses moving in warm wind, and the grounding scent of towering ancient redwoods. California Body Oil was born from this landscape.

Each of the 20 whole organic plants in California Body Oil has been selected for its affinity for the body and skin. These botanicals have long been associated with supporting renewal, easing lymphatic stagnation, toning and firming the appearance of skin, and cultivating lasting softness and strength through daily ritual and massage.

At the heart of this formula are raw lipid oils grown and pressed in our bountiful state: OLIVE, JOJOBA, ALMOND, and AVOCADO. These fresh, unrefined, virgin oils maintain their full spectrum of naturally occurring phytonutrients, antioxidants, and enzyme activity that support skin vitality and resilience.

California Body Oil aromatics include grounding FIR and CEDAR – trees that grace our daily lives with their rich forest fragrance. ROSE and ORANGE BLOSSOM uplift and soften, making this formula a well-rounded expression of our many planet elements: wood, earth, leaf, flower, fruit, and citrus.

The formula is completed with a house-made Gem Essence of ROSE QUARTZ and HERKIMER DIAMOND, included as an energetic component associated with self-love and acceptance.

SENSORY PROFILE
How it feels: a rich, silky-smooth dark amber oil serum that lingers in layers long after application
How it smells: deep wood and warm earth lifted by softly sweet citrus and gentle florals

PHYTOCHEMISTRY PROFILE
Plants are all you need. California Body Oil contains these notable phytonutrients, along with many others:

essential fatty acids (including omega 3 and GLA), carotenoids (including beta carotene, zeaxanthin, lutein, lycopene, ++), vitamin E, resveratrol, flavonoids (including rutin, quercetin, ++), various polyphenols, vitamin A, phytosterols, phytoceramides, xanthones, hydroxytyrosol, vitamin C, trace minerals and tannins, sesquiterpenes, terpenoids, geraniol, palmitic acid, squalene, santalols, pinenes, camphene

USAGE
Apply immediately after bathing, when water droplets are still visible on the skin. Massage using long strokes toward the heart to support absorption, circulation, and lymphatic flow.

RITUAL
Touching the whole body — rather than just the face — is a simple yet powerful act. It calms the nervous system, nourishes the skin, and sends an embodied signal of care: I am here. I am whole. I am worthy of this exquisite attention.

This oil is meant to be lingered with. Warm the oil in your hands and inhale deeply, allowing the aromatics to enter the body through the olfactory system. Move slowly along the limbs or over areas that feel heavy or tense, encouraging subtle movement beneath the surface. Incorporate a dry brush or Gua Sha tool for deeper movement.

Use within six months of opening and before the recommended use-by date on the bottom of the bottle. Store in a cool, dry, and dark place.

100% Whole Plant Organic

OLIVE OIL
Farmer-grown and pressed in Northern California, our raw, extra-extra virgin oil is rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients that soften the skin and strengthen its ability to withstand oxidative stress.

WHITE ROSE
A gentle, restorative botanical that calms the skin, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and offers powerful free radical protection.

VETIVER
Deeply grounding and unmistakably earthy, Vetiver soothes the nervous system, supports emotional settling, and brings a sense of rooted calm to body and mind.

ALMOND OIL
This raw, unrefined California oil contains the nut’s full, balanced nutrient profile. It offers anti-inflammatory support, potent antioxidants, and exceptional softness for dry or delicate skin.

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 California Body Oil apart from other body oils.

  • Regional commitment: over 80% of each bottle’s ingredients are grown in California
  • More than moisture: an antioxidant-rich body serum that mirrors our facial serums
  • Exclusive use of freshly pressed, unrefined, virgin oils to maintain antioxidant and nutrient availability
  • Exclusive use of 100% organic, biodynamic, and regeneratively grown plants
  • No lab-made, synthetic isolates, bioidenticals, or biomimetics – only whole plants

    • The abbreviated list above cannot be found elsewhere – our level of care and integrity is proudly unreasonable.

    We prioritize a holistic approach to skin health, one that champions longevity over quick fixes and recognizes the essential connection between vibrant skin and a well-functioning lymphatic system.

    True, lasting skin health begins beneath the surface. The lymphatic system supports whole-body vitality and helps sustain clear, radiant, resilient skin over time. When we nourish this system, we support the skin’s ability to renew itself, respond to stress, and age with grace.

    This is the heart of herbalist skincare: choosing plants not only for what they offer the surface, but for how they help the body return to balance from within.

    California Body Oil was created through this lens. Many of the plants in this formula encourage movement, circulation, and the gentle release of stagnation within the tissues. Their energetics support flow, resilience, and emotional steadiness, reminding us that luminous skin is always a reflection of a well-supported inner landscape.
