A soothing, hydrating, nourishing, and repairing Elixir, helpful for both pre- and post-sun exposure.

Arizona’s Honeysuckle Sage Hydrating Elixir was inspired by the warm desert after a burst of rain; life is left refreshed as the scent of nectar lingers in the air. Delicate blooms of desert Honeysuckle are handpicked for an enfleurage infusion and carefully blended with an Orange Blossom hydrosol. Arizona regional distillations of Lime, Sage, and Pinyon come together to nourish, heal, and soothe desert sun-kissed skin. Native, medicinal shrubs, flowers and leaves like Creosote, Globemallow, and Desert Willow deeply repair the skin, harvested and infused by a local herbalist. Globemallow and Chia Seed are super hydrators included to plump and firm the skin. Flavonoid and vitamin C rich Prickly Pear fruit from an Arizona ranch bring brightening and vibrancy.

The Honeysuckle Sage Elixir aides in both protecting from and repairing sun damage, which is necessary on those intense desert days. Honeysuckle strengthens our own skin barrier while also soothing redness and irritation. This Elixir is full of desert-loving Sage, which supports our own antioxidant and enzymatic activity. Also find Calendula for her healing resins, Chamomile for her cooling ability, and Milky Oats for their hydrating Vitamin B content.

The Honeysuckle Sage Elixir is the Mindful Ritual Step 2 in this collection.

Limited Quantities Available

Sage – This Arizona-cultivated and artisan-distilled Sage stimulates cell renewal and is an antioxidant activity booster. It supports our own enzymatic activity and gently stimulates circulation to promote healing.

Globemallow – A sister to Marshmallow, this soft leaf and gentle orange flower also offer Nature’s form of Hyaluronic Acid. It is soothing, hydrating, calming, and protecting. Globemallow is rich in B vitamins and is plumping and hydrating to the skin. It can be found growing throughout the Miraval Arizona property.

Chaparral/Creosote – Laurel developed a strong bond with the Creosote plant during this process. It is praised for its potent anti-inflammatory effects and preventing free radical damage. It is most commonly known as an ancient and powerful heal-all medicine by most local Indigenous tribes located throughout the southwest. It is actively researched in skin cancer cell inhibition.

Lime – Arizona organically farmed and artisan steam-distilled Lime provides a variety of nourishing nutrients that work to brighten, hydrate, balance, and repair skin. Lime leaves behind an uplifting scent for your spirit.

Honeysuckle – This delicate scent requires daily flower harvesting and an enfleurage process which takes many months. These hand-harvested Arizona flowers strengthen the skin barrier while simultaneously soothing redness and irritation.

̊organically grown ingredient
*regionally and ethically wildcrafted ingredient

*Wildcrafting is not a term that you see used often at Laurel Skin. In the commercial beauty and health industries wildcrafting or wild-harvesting can put a strain on the environment, animal habitats, and Indigenous communities. Laurel Skin does not condone wildcrafting plants on Indigenous lands unless it only and directly financially supports the Indigenous folks doing the harvesting. Laurel Skin does not condone any scale of wildcrafting that may bring harm to the micro-ecosystems of a particular area. This is especially seen in the essential oil and supplement industries, and we genuinely wish for that type of wildcrafting to come to an end. The wildcrafting done for the Miraval Collection is ethically and mindfully done in small and limited amounts by herbalists local to their regions. None of these plants were harvested on Indigenous lands, and all were harvested on privately owned lands where each plant is abundant not at all at-risk. This responsibility is something Laurel personally takes very seriously, and we do not encourage wildcrafting for those who do not have this level of awareness around this global sourcing concern.

Ritual Step 2 – After the Petal Pecan Mask has been removed, saturate skin with this hydrating Elixir until damp. Follow with the Wolfberry Chia Serum.

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

Arizona Sourcing Story

Miraval Arizona has an ‘outback’, directly behind the property, where guests can go to hike, bike, horseback ride, and adventure. On my own journey to develop the products, I remember walking there often, and asking the plants to guide me to create this formula. Since I was not as familiar with desert plant identification, I initially didn’t even know that Globemallow was a direct sister plant to Marshmallow. But she spoke to me loudly during those walks, and she ended up being one of the major highlights of this hydrating formula.

Honeysuckle is the star of this formula, and there should be no doubt. Getting to know Clare from Phibee Aromatics was like getting an herbal education, a lesson on integrity, and experiencing these plants through her senses all rolled into one. She cultivates plants in her own garden as well as wildcrafts, and then distills or infuses the plants. The Honeysuckle Flower is so delicate that the scent can only be captured through an enfleurage process, which means she harvests fresh flowers for infusion over the course of months to capture the scent of the fresh flower. The year this Elixir launched, Clare hand-harvested 6000 Honeysuckle blossoms for us.
