Full guidance for the ceremony is included within each set, through a step-by-step ritual from Laurel.

THE POTENT MEDICINE OF FLOWERS
This collection is centered around the medicine of flowers and petals. What’s shared here is a small selection, those that shape the character of the ritual and appear throughout the formulas.

JASMINE
Too delicate for traditional steam distillation, we work with a master aromatherapist who captures the true essence of the Jasmine flower through a multi-step process. Daily hand-harvests, infusions, and slow hydrodistillation eventually lead to this living plant water that softens, soothes, and replenishes, carrying the aromatic imprint of the flower and a playful, wild spirit.

HEIRLOOM ROSE
Heirloom varieties grown in Northern California exclusively for Laurel Skin. Hydrating, barrier-supportive, and strengthening to collagen and elastin, Rose brings suppleness and resilience to the skin, soft, feminine, and heart-opening.

GARDENIA
Fresh Gardenia blossoms, gathered daily and slowly infused over six months by a California artisan perfumer. The scent opens boldly, then softens, inviting intuition, openness, and expanded perspective, with an otherworldly, ethereal presence. For the skin, Gardenia strengthens the skin barrier, providing moisture and firmness.

CORNFLOWERS
Grown by a local farmer and given freely and abundantly by the land, Cornflower is recognized by its vibrant cerulean petals and antioxidant-rich, soothing nature. Restorative and gently hydrating, it supports the skin while encouraging compassion, patience, and clear, open expression.

CALENDULA
A bright, sun-filled flower known for its ability to soothe and repair the skin. Protective and replenishing, Calendula helps defend against environmental stress, warm, generous, and alive with friendship, kindness, and laughter.

BORAGE
A steady, restorative flower known for its ability to soothe and support the skin as it repairs. Firming, barrier-supportive, and moisturizing, Borage restores balance and resilience. Borage energetics are pensive, wise, and rooted in introspection and inner peace.

There seems to be a natural curiosity that surrounds any maker: What products are they actually using?

For me, it’s always shifting. My bathroom shelves are filled with early versions of products that I’m in the process of creating …handwritten labels of experimental blends for my own personal use.

There are new ingredients to be explored and rare, limited ingredients that require savoring. These micro batches shape my personal skin ritual, and shift it season after season. For the first time, I felt inspired to include you to experience my own skin ritual – to share in that exploration and discovery with me. With our first ever Founder’s Apothecary collection.

It has truly been a joy to create the Petal Ceremony – to collaborate on something so beautiful with my team – something with so many moving parts. It has come together in a way I could only dream of in the beginning. Our designer Maria has brought each flower-centered piece to fruition in a breathtaking way; and our copywriter Elle has poetically brought to life the words from the flowers. Discussions over many months tied in the handmade facial towel and Organic Olivia’s tincture – this Ceremony was further developed by all of our experiences with flowers in different forms.

And then there was our team at our Petaluma Barn – who assembled each handmade box, labeled and wrapped each jar, and hand-numbered each collection. It has been such a beautiful and collaborative process from start to finish. I will never forget it. I hope you love it, because I’m already dreaming up the next one.
