Our Elixirs function as hydrating treatment serums delivered in mist form, providing the essential hydration step in a moisturizing ritual to be paired with our Serums and/or Balms.

In place of water, Honeysuckle Sage Elixir begins with artisan-distilled hydrosols sourced throughout the Arizona desert, layered with herbalist-prepared extracts of fresh, whole plants chosen for their ability to replenish and restore skin exposed to heat, sun, and extreme dryness. The formula draws inspiration from desert plants that have adapted to store, protect, and conserve moisture in some of the harshest growing conditions.

Desert HONEYSUCKLE, a hero of the formula, is hand-harvested and slowly captured through enfleurage infusion to preserve its most delicate compounds. Known for strengthening the skin barrier while calming visible redness, it sets the tone for a formula focused on repair and resilience.

Hydration is supported through mucilage-rich plants like GLOBEMALLOW and CHIA, which bind water to the skin and create a soft, plumping layer of moisture. Arizona-distilled SAGE encourages renewal and circulation, while LIME and PINYON bring balancing and revitalizing qualities. Our PRICKLY PEAR fruits from a historic Arizona ranch are rich in flavonoids and Vitamin C, helping keep the skin tone bright and vibrant.

To support skin after prolonged sun exposure, resinous and mineral-rich CREOSOTE and DESERT WILLOW are paired with soothing allies CALENDULA and CHAMOMILE. The result is a refreshing plant water treatment that cools, hydrates, and revives skin before and after time in the sun.

SAGE
Arizona-cultivated and artisan-distilled, this vibrant Sage supports cellular renewal and encourages the skin’s own enzymatic and antioxidant activity. It gently stimulates circulation, helping to move stagnation and support visible repair.

GLOBEMALLOW
A desert relative of Marshmallow, Globemallow is rich in mucilage, offering the plant world’s version of hyaluronic hydration. Its soft leaves and flowers deliver B vitamins and water-binding compounds that soothe, plump, and protect the skin. It grows abundantly throughout the Miraval Arizona Resort & Spa landscape.

CREOSOTE
A resinous desert shrub long revered as a powerful medicinal plant throughout the Southwest. Rich in antioxidant compounds, Creosote helps calm inflammation, defend against free radical damage, and support skin under environmental stress.

LIME
Organically grown and steam-distilled in Arizona, Lime brings a bright profile of vitamins and antioxidants that help to clarify, balance, and restore vibrancy. It leaves behind a subtle, uplifting aromatic lift.

HONEYSUCKLE
Thousands of hand-harvested blossoms slowly captured through a months-long enfleurage process, which preserves its most delicate aromatic compounds. Honeysuckle strengthens the skin barrier while softening visible redness, offering both resilience and calm.

ÌŠorganically 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 and 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.

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.

    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 6,000 Honeysuckle blossoms for us.
