Our Elixirs function more like hydrating treatment serums that are delivered in mist form. They provide the essential hydration step in a moisturizing ritual to be paired with our Serums and/or Balms.

In place of water, each Elixir begins with artisan-distilled, single-farm hydrosols and then we layer in herbalist-prepared extracts of fresh, whole plants chosen specifically for each formula to create potent, water-soluble nutrition for the skin. The ingredient and phytochemistry lists of our Elixirs read more like a botanical inventory than a conventional skincare formula, reflecting the medicinal intelligence of the plants themselves.

Hydrating Elixir C begins with our JASMINE hydrosol, a scent considered impossible to capture in a true hydrosol form. Our artisan distiller captures the delicate water-soluble constituents of Jasmine through a multistep process that includes daily fresh flower harvesting and infusion, followed by a hydro-distillation technique, something he has dedicated his life to mastering. Jasmine flowers hydrate the skin, scavenge free radicals, and strengthen the skin barrier.

This special Elixir also features three variations of herbalist-made HIBISCUS macerations made from fresh calyx to ensure maximum vitamin C presence and potency. Hibiscus contains naturally occurring alpha hydroxy acids and an abundance of flavonoids like anthocyanin, which naturally brighten the skin while repairing free radical damage.

To enhance vitamin C delivery and efficacy, we complement the Hibiscus extracts with CAMU CAMU, SEA BUCKTHORN, and ROSEHIP, plants renowned for their extraordinary concentration of vitamin C, brightening carotenoids, and firming flavonoids.

We have also included TURMERIC and ASTRAGALUS roots, both trusted allies for brightening, reducing inflammation, and repairing damage.

Laurel Skin prefers whole-plant vitamin C sources to isolated synthetic vitamin C derivatives because the co-nutrients found in whole plants keep vitamin C active, fresh, and stable while providing an effective delivery system.

SENSORY PROFILE
How it feels: a lush, bright fuchsia mist that absorbs into a soft, firm veil
How it smells: earthy resin, soft exotic florals, whispers of dried fruit

PHYTOCHEMISTRY PROFILE:
Hydrating Elixir C contains these notable phytonutrients, along with many others:
Vitamin C, flavonoids including anthocyanins and catechin, alpha hydroxy acids, carotenoids, polysaccharides and mucilaginous compounds, B vitamins including niacinamide, proanthocyanadins, ferulic acid, resveratrol, betaine, palmitic acid, gallic acid, boswellic acid, caffeic acid, zinc, selenium, tannins, potassium, copper, manganese, magnesium, and other trace minerals

USAGE
Shake Elixir well with each use and mist directly and generously onto clean skin. Follow with a Serum and/or Balm onto damp skin.

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. It should also be used in a compound application. The more Elixir layers that are included in your ritual, the more deeply hydrated your skin will be.

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.

JASMINE
Our rare artisan-distilled Jasmine hydrosol is a slow-farmed beauty ingredient from start to finish, crafted from delicate hand-harvested flowers and a custom hydro-distillation process. Beyond its aromatic allure, Jasmine offers hydrating, antioxidant-rich support that helps maintain supple, firm, and radiant skin.

HIBISCUS
Our house-made Hibiscus macerations begin with fresh hibiscus fruit to ensure exceptional vitamin C presence and potency. Naturally rich in AHAs and flavonoids like anthocyanin, Hibiscus helps brighten the appearance of skin while providing antioxidant support. Harvested and delivered directly to the Laurel Lab for same-day processing, the fruit is carefully macerated for several months to preserve its full spectrum of phytonutrients.

CAMU CAMU
One of the richest botanical sources of vitamin C in the world, our raw Camu Camu helps improve the appearance of dullness and discoloration while supporting a brighter, more vibrant skin.

SEA BUCKTHORN
This concentrated whole-fruit and seed extract captures a full spectrum of essential fatty acids, vitamin C, and carotenoids. Deeply nourishing and antioxidant-rich, it provides nutrients necessary to build, protect, and strengthen connective tissue, resulting in firmer, healthier skin.

ROSEHIP
Rosehip has a rare phytonutrient makeup that includes vitamins C, A, and E in perfect balance. These nutrients work synergistically on our skin to help soften the appearance of scars, fine lines, and other visible signs of oxidative stress while supporting skin elasticity.

GOTU KOLA
Gotu Kola – Revered for its ability to support healthy collagen by protecting it and encouraging new growth, Gotu Kola promotes firmer, more resilient skin. Ours is grown exclusively for Laurel by a nearby farm and is a cornerstone ingredient in many of our healthy-aging formulations.

ASTRAGALUS
Historically valued for longevity in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Astragalus has been closely studied for its ability to strengthen and repair telomeres, which are responsible for cellular aging. Telomere repair is a form of DNA repair. Astragalus is also hydrating, protective, anti-inflammatory, and stimulates surface immunity.

TURMERIC
This potent whole-plant extract is anti-inflammatory on multiple biochemical pathways like NFkB and COX-2. This vibrant yellow root is an immediate redness reducer with an ability to brighten and revitalize dull 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 Hydrating Elixirs apart from other hydration serums and mists:

  • Exclusive use of artisan-distilled, single-farm hydrosols, as opposed to water
  • Exclusive use of 100% organic, biodynamic, and regeneratively grown plants
  • All plant extracts are herbalist made with organic whole plant mediums
  • 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.

    FLAVONOIDS + WHOLE PLANT VITAMIN C
    There is no debate that Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is beneficial to the skin. However, Vitamin C doesn’t exist in isolation in the plant world; rather, it co-exists amongst many helpful co-factors. The presence of other phytochemicals such as Flavonoids, Vitamin E, and Carotenoids work synergistically with Vitamin C. One of the most helpful co-constituents is Flavonoids, which are molecules that regulate cellular activity and neutralize free radicals. Every amazing thing that Vitamin C accomplishes, it does so with the help of flavonoids. Flavonoids are the real stars of the show, in our opinion! Flavonoids work with Vitamin C synergistically in several ways: providing an effective delivery system, metabolizing Vitamin C post-oxidation, and reducing the amount of Vitamin C that is needed by each cell. For a deep dive on all things Flavonoid and Whole-Plant Vitamin C, visit our entry in our Apothecary Pages.

    JASMINE AROMATICS
    This Elixir is my portal to Hawaii, where skin is plump and dewy from the humidity and ocean air.
    After cleansing, close your eyes. Breathe deeply. Mist Hydrating Elixir C onto your skin. What arises in this moment? Where are you in your mind’s eye?
    Imagine each tiny, delicate flower being hand-harvested. Imagine their long journey, across oceans, through time, into our hands and finally to you.
