As the season reaches its peak, the skin’s needs begin to shift. Increased sun exposure, elevated temperatures, and environmental stressors can leave skin depleted, dehydrated, and vulnerable to damage. High Summer was created in response to these seasonal demands.

As herbalists, we look to plants that flourish under summer’s most demanding conditions. Growing in intense sun, heat, arid climates, and other environmental extremes, these botanicals have developed sophisticated systems for protection, hydration, repair, and regeneration.

HIGH SUMMER INCLUDES:

SUN SERUM
A protective facial serum and moisturizer designed to support skin before and after sun exposure. Antioxidant-rich botanicals help defend against oxidative stress, support repair, and build long-term resilience.

SUN BODY OIL
A carotenoid-rich, moisturizing body serum that helps skin adapt and recover before and after sun exposure, infused with the warm, exotic aromatics of summer.

DAY BALM
A lightweight, waterless moisturizer infused with sun-loving plants that provide protective antioxidants, nourishing lipids, and daily support against environmental stress.

CHAMOMILE SINGLE FARM HYDROSOL
A cooling, calming hydrosol that soothes heat, visible redness, and irritation while supporting post-sun recovery and bringing stressed skin back into balance.

A complete guided Ritual is included with every set, while detailed directions for each formula can be found on its individual product page.

If there were such a thing as “the plants of summer”, these would be it. These herbal allies, woven throughout all of the products in High Summer, are some of the most potent and effective at helping the skin do what summer demands of it: defend against environmental stress and inflammation, repair after UV-induced oxidative damage, and build resilience for long days of sun and heat.

Each product is 100% Whole Plant Organic

RED RASPBERRY
Raw and unrefined, this soft, antioxidant-rich oil is well-suited for both before and after time in the sun. Naturally abundant in essential fatty acids like omega-3, carotenoids, and flavonoids like rutin, it supports the skin’s response to UV-induced oxidative stress.

ROSEHIP
Our Rosehip Oil is unique because it comes from both the fruit and the seed, allowing a wider spectrum of vitamins and nutrients to remain within the oil. Few oils match the complexity of Rosehip’s composition, which includes naturally occurring retinoic acid, vitamin E, carotenoids, flavonoids, and vitamin C. It has been traditionally used and widely studied for its ability to reduce the appearance of scars and hyperpigmentation, while supporting collagen and connective tissue for smoother, more resilient 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 deeply restorative and protective. Its abundance of carotenoids and flavonoids makes it particularly suited to helping the skin respond to sun exposure and environmental stress.

CHAMOMILE
Chamomile is a soothing ally for skin of all types and all ages to keep on hand. It is the plant to reach for when the skin is irritated with acute flare-ups, like sunburns, rashes, or stings. Meanwhile, this powerful anti-inflammatory plant brings relief and balance to skin in more chronic states of ongoing stress, like acne or rosacea.

SCARLET PIMPERNEL
This tiny coral flower embodies joy and strength. A sun-loving plant that thrives in open fields, Scarlet Pimpernel has long been associated with skin exposed to the elements. It supports circulation and cellular vitality, helping sun-stressed skin regain softness and resilience while encouraging a healthy relationship with sunlight.

PHYTOCHEMISTRY + SUN CARE
Plants and sunlight have a long, intertwined relationship. The plants used in our collection for High Summer have evolved under intense sun exposure and developed protective phytonutrients that help manage oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular strain caused by UV exposure. Modern botanical research continues to affirm what traditional plant medicine has long understood: certain plant compounds can support the skin’s response to sun stress by strengthening adaptation and aiding recovery.

INDIVIDUAL CHOICE
At Laurel Skin, we believe your choices around sun exposure are very personal. The sun plays an essential role in physical vitality, emotional well-being, and vitamin D synthesis. Our approach does not center fear or avoidance, but relationship and discernment. Sun Serum and all of the products in High Summer are created for those who wish to support their skin through intentional and mindful sun exposure. This is herbalist sun care: not about blocking nature, but about strengthening our relationship to it.
