Petal Alchemy

Petal Alchemy is a lush, cushiony, lipid-based facial serum and intensive moisturizer designed to firm, plump, and strengthen the skin. Set apart within our serum collection, it is crafted from flowers and petals, selected for their ability to support moisture retention, elasticity, and structural integrity through whole-plant petal medicine. Rich in floral phytonutrients, flavonoids, and restorative compounds, Petal Alchemy leaves skin firm, supple, and well-nourished.

KEY ACTIONS

  • Firmer, plumper-looking complexion and skin structure
  • Deep, replenishing moisture for soft, supple-looking skin
  • Reparative antioxidant support for long-term skin vitality

SKIN TYPE

Dry, moisture-depleted skin, lacking firmness

Petals are naturally supple and elastic, cocooned by their uniquely powerful lipid barriers that retain vital moisture and protect against environmental stress. Containing 21 whole organic plants, Petal Alchemy channels the energy of flower medicine, which are always effortlessly thriving.

This potent petal medicine strengthens the skin’s response to the elements, reinforces the lipid barrier, retains vital hydration, and supports the skin to be strong, firm, and deeply replenished.

This formula begins with a three-month whole-flower infusion, made with flowers sourced exclusively from our organic, regenerative farm partners. HEIRLOOM ROSE, CORNFLOWER, CALENDULA, MARIGOLD, ROSE GERANIUM, and ELDERFLOWER are slowly macerated to draw out their full spectrum of phytonutrients, supporting skin barrier integrity, vital hydration, and a visibly plumper appearance.

At the foundation of Petal Alchemy is ROSEHIP SEED and FRUIT OIL, rich in vitamins A, C, and E, selected to support the collagen matrix and cellular regeneration. Raw, unrefined MACADAMIA NUT OIL provides bioavailable lipid moisture, while our locally pressed EVENING PRIMROSE contributes its green, nutrient-dense profile to help soothe and replenish.

In place of essential oils, Petal Alchemy gets its subtle floral scent through whole-plant infusion. A slow-farmed GARDENIA infusion is created by harvesting fresh blooms daily and infusing them over six months to capture their delicate aroma. This is complemented by a whole-plant DAMASK ROSE concentrate, offering a light, natural scent that remains gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin.

SENSORY PROFILE
How it feels: a lush, golden, silken oil, leaving skin petal-soft and gently firmed
How it smells: gentle florals, dried petals, sweet berries warmed in the sun

PHYTOCHEMISTRY PROFILE
The dynamic phytochemistry of Petal Alchemy contains these notable phytonutrients, along with many others:
phytoceramides, phytosterols, essential fatty acids (including omega-3 and GLA), vitamin E, carotenoids (including beta-carotene, lutein, lycopene), palmitic acid, vitamin A, phytosteroids (triterpenoids), geraniol, squalene, anthocyanins, quercetin, catechin, various flavonoids and polyphenols, vitamin C, resins, trace minerals, and tannins

USAGE
After applying Elixir generously for hydration, press 3–5 drops of Petal Alchemy into the slightly damp face, neck, and décolleté. When additional moisture or barrier support is needed, follow with Balm.

RITUAL
As the Serum settles in, take a moment for slow, intentional massage. Release tension at the temples, sweep upwards on the forehead, glide down the neck several times to encourage lymphatic movement. Let the soft herbal, and resinous aromatics deepen your breath for just a moment.

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.

100% Whole Plant Organic

ROSEHIP FRUIT + SEED OIL
There are few oils with a chemical profile as unique as Rosehip Oil, which naturally contains vitamins A, C, and E. Our Rosehip Oil is derived from both the fruit and the seed, providing a broader spectrum of vitamins and phytonutrients. It has been used for centuries and studied extensively for its ability to reduce the appearance of scars, support deep cellular repair, and soften the appearance of fine lines by supporting collagen and connective tissue.

EVENING PRIMROSE
Freshly pressed exclusively for Laurel Skin, this raw California-made oil is deeply supportive during inflammation. Rich in essential fatty acids, it softens depleted skin, supports barrier repair, and helps ease the appearance of fine lines and scarring while restoring comfort and elasticity.

MACADAMIA OIL
Fresh, raw, and unrefined, this oil is sourced from a family farm on the Big Island of Hawaii. Naturally high in skin-supportive tannins, vitamin E, and squalene, it absorbs easily into the skin, leaving a smooth texture and a lasting moisture barrier. A beautifully balanced oil that delivers both lightness and longevity.

HEIRLOOM ROSE + DAMASK ROSE
Roses possess strong humectant and barrier-supportive properties, making their delicate petals effective hydrators that help reduce trans-epidermal water loss. Roses offer potent antioxidant support that encourages regeneration through various nutrients like vitamin E, catechins, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and palmitic acid. At once gentle and fortifying, they help support firmness, connective tissue strength, and elasticity.

CALENDULA
Calendula is well known for its ability to support recovery across a wide range of skin concerns, from uneven tone to barrier repair. Grown on a biodynamic farm just miles from our apothecary-lab, these flowers are deeply restorative, offering an abundance of carotenoids and healing resins.

CORNFLOWER
Naturally rich in the flavonoid anthocyanin, Cornflower supports cellular vitality and helps condition stressed skin. It also contains apigenin, a phytonutrient studied for its anti-inflammatory properties. This vibrant blue flower is especially valued for its ability to soothe, soften, and support overall skin comfort.

˚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 Petal Alchemy apart from other facial oils.

  • Exclusive use of freshly pressed, unrefined, virgin oils to maintain antioxidant and nutrient availability
  • Exclusive use of 100% organic, biodynamic and regeneratively grown plants
  • A 3-month whole-plant infusion in every bottle
  • 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.

    A NOTE FROM LAUREL ON PLANT MEDICINE
    Energetically, who doesn’t long for the effortless beauty of a flower? I’ve never liked the idea that beauty must be earned through struggle or discomfort. Blooming isn’t painful for a flower; it’s natural, unforced, radiant, and quietly transformational. As we become more aware of the “fix it, you are broken” messaging woven throughout the beauty industry, it feels more and more clear that we could all use more gentle, supportive petal medicine in our lives.

    The plant world is one of adaptation, evolution, and resilience. Plants do not respond to damage by forcing correction, but by strengthening, softening, and reorganizing in response to their environment. Flowers and petals carry this wisdom deeply. Their role is not defense through hardness, but resilience through structure, moisture, and renewal.
    Petal Alchemy was created from this understanding. Through slow, intentional infusion, the vitality of flowers and petals is translated into tangible plant medicine for the skin. This is the essence of alchemy: the transmutation of something ephemeral into something enduring, supportive, and real.

    My wish for you is to feel truly at ease in your own skin. To experience radiance not as something chased or corrected, but as something that emerges naturally when the skin is nourished, supported, and allowed to regenerate. To blossom, as flowers do, without force or second thought.
