Almond Rose Exfoliant

Almond Rose Exfoliant is a quiet hero, delivering gentle exfoliation and nutrient-dense hydration in one ritual. House-milled Almond flour and Oat flour softly polish the surface while medicinal herbs and flowers infuse the skin with a wide range of phytonutrients, including niacinamide, ceramides, and botanical hyaluronic acid. The act of exfoliating becomes a treatment of replenishment, hydration, and barrier support.

KEY ACTIONS

  • Gentle, manual exfoliation from milled grains and flowers
  • Hydrates and plumps the skin with whole-plant humectants
  • Strengthens the lipid barrier with broad-spectrum nutrients

SKIN TYPE

Suitable for all skin types

Formulated with 9 whole plants, Almond Rose Exfoliant refines the skin through gentle manual exfoliation while delivering dense water- and oil-soluble nutrients that rebuild and replenish. The result is soft, supple, deeply hydrated skin, with a plentiful vitamin and mineral reserve.

Biodynamic ALMONDS and OATS are milled in-house to a soft flour, creating a gentle polish that smooths without abrasion. Together, they contribute lipid-rich nourishment and B vitamins, tempering exfoliation with immediate comfort.

HEIRLOOM ROSE petals play a central role in these polishing grains. While Roses are powerful hydrating humectants, they are also concentrated in bioavailable nutrients that impact collagen integrity and prevent oxidative stress. The wide range of antioxidants in Rose, combined with the preparation of this formula, ensures that broad-spectrum protection and repair are provided through Rose’s water- and oil- soluble vitamins, flavonoids, and phenolic acids.

Nature’s botanical hyaluronic acid, MARSHMALLOW ROOT, releases its mucilage-rich polysaccharides as it steeps, binding hydration deep into the skin. Various nutrients, including inulin, provide prebiotics to the microbiome, keeping it strong and diverse. Marshmallow additionally provides soothing, anti-inflammatory compounds, restoring calmness and plumpness to the skin.

NETTLE acts as a nutritive superfood, offering an extensive array of peptides, amino acids, and minerals, providing the nourishment needed to replenish reserves for healthy cell proliferation. CHAMOMILE flowers soften, calm, and balance the skin, lending anti-inflammatory traits to the formula.

Microdosed rare White Rose and ROSE GERANIUM essential oil from the Laurel Skin farm introduce further humectant and barrier-strengthening support.

USAGE
Quick Exfoliant: Scoop out 1/2 teaspoon of Almond Rose Exfoliant and combine with your Cleanser for an exfoliating cleanse. To use without a cleanser, begin by dampening face and hands with water. Scoop out 1/2 teaspoon of Almond Rose Exfoliant into palm of hand and trickle in a few more drops of water. Massage gently over the skin to exfoliate and rinse. Use 1-3x per week.

Exfoliating Hydration Mask: Scoop 1 teaspoon or less of Almond Rose Exfoliant into a Mask Bowl and trickle a bit of water in with fingertips. Using approximately twice as much water as Mask, mix into a runny paste. Allow the Mask to rest and steep (like tea) for a few minutes. Allowing the Mask to steep will cause it to thicken into its creamy oatmeal-like texture. Apply gently to clean, dampened face and neck by patting the Mask onto the skin with fingertips. Keep the Mask hydrated, which will keep the Mask activated. Re-hydrate the Mask with wet fingertips, a mister bottle of water, or steam from a bath or shower. Leave on for 10-30 minutes. Fully rehydrate to loosen the Mask with your fingertips, massage gently to exfoliate, then rinse.

RITUAL
Using a whole-plant powdered mask like ours is a unique experience. Apply before a warm bath or shower so the steam can effortlessly keep the mask hydrated and activated while the body unwinds. As the freshly activated botanicals rest on the skin, the experience is best described as a deep infusion of nourishment. The ritual naturally invites you to pause and receive on a level we rarely allow ourselves. Be still. Let the vibrant nutrients flood your skin with relief and replenishment. The scent of fresh herbs and earthy roots calms and grounds the mind. And when you’re ready to remove, the Mask rinses away easily down the drain.

Use within 6 months of opening and by the recommended use-by date, which is found on the bottom of the jar. Store this product in a cool, dry, and dark place. Keep contents of jar dry and free from moisture.

100% Whole Plant Organic

ALMONDS
Biodynamic and California farmed, these raw nuts are house-milled into a soft flour to gently exfoliate without drying or being too harsh on delicate skin. In Almond Rose Exfoliant, they provide the polishing action while also helping hydrate and moisturize the skin.

ROSE
Our vibrant heirloom Rose petals are grown exclusively for us by a farm just miles from our apothecary-lab. Their vitality and antioxidant richness are palpable. Rose is a powerful hydrating humectant that visibly plumps and regenerates the skin. Helpful constituents such as B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and gallic acid are all abundant in these petals, nutrients known to benefit and impact overall skin health and collagen integrity.

NETTLE
A superfood like no other, Nettle leaf is rich in hundreds of phytonutrients, including vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K; minerals such as iron, calcium, zinc, and magnesium; and beneficial polyphenols. It provides essential building blocks needed to nourish cells and support healthy skin function. Nettle is considered a tonic herb, meaning it has the ability to powerfully shift vitality through nutrient delivery alone.

CHAMOMILE
Our artisan-farmed, hand-picked Chamomile flowers are soothing, softening, and calming to the skin. Chamomile is anti-inflammatory and gently astringent, helping leave the complexion clear and even-toned.

MARSHMALLOW
This mucilage and polysaccharide-rich root delivers exceptional hydration. Often described as nature’s hyaluronic acid, Marshmallow binds moisture deep into the structural layers of the skin, creating a cooling, cushioning effect. Rich in B vitamins, quercetin, ferulic acid, and betaine, it soothes and softens while lending the Mask its signature gelatinous texture.

Ëšorganically 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 Almond Rose Exfoliant apart:

  • Exclusive use of 100% organic, biodynamic, and regeneratively grown plants
  • No pre-milled plants, milled in-house to ensure antioxidant bioavailability
  • No emulsified base – raw, nutrient-dense powder prioritizes skin health over commercial standard
  • 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.

    Refinement Without Depletion
    Many conventional exfoliants rely on aggressive scrubs, strong acids, or isolated enzymes to forcefully remove surface cells. While this can create immediate smoothness, it can also strain the lipid barrier and microbiome, leaving skin inflamed and more vulnerable to oxidative stress.

    An herbalist approach favors gentle refinement backed by nourishment. When exfoliation occurs alongside hydration and nutrient delivery, the skin is able to renew itself without depletion, maintaining its balance and resilience.

    In Almond Rose Exfoliant, softly milled Almonds and Oats provide the polishing action, while those same unrefined, raw grains naturally carry barrier-supportive nutrients like essential fatty acids, ceramides, and B vitamins. The result is exfoliation that does not strip or destabilize the skin, but instead reinforces barrier function.
