Six 5ml Compounds

Educational Booklet 

The Herbalist Collection is a plant-medicine chest for the skin, featuring our six Compounds and a detailed educational Booklet. These potent whole-plant concentrates are herbalist-created skin supplements formulated to support both momentary flare-ups and chronic conditions like discoloration, dehydration, congestion, and loss of vitality. Each Compound replaces synthetic options (like retinol or hyaluronic acid) with whole-plant alternatives, allowing for deeper customization within your Laurel Skin Ritual.

This Collection invites you into an immersive mastery of herbal medicine for the skin, empowering you to take your skin health into your own hands. It will deepen your connection with plants and invite shifts in perception towards their way of healing, adaptation and resilience. Each Compound is a labor of love and dedication, taking months to create and capture potent phytonutrient profiles. The Herbalist Collection is plant-to-skin medicine as it has never been done before; expansive, profound, and from the heart.

Currently, The Herbalist Collection comes with an exclusive gift: Travel Size Hydrating Elixir I, which will be added to your cart automatically at checkout.

The Plant Medicine Cabinet of my Dreams

As Laurel Skin has steadily flourished over the past 14 years, I’ve worked quietly behind the scenes on these complex herbal concentrates. This collection represents many years of study, the collaboration of many herbalists’ minds, and patient testing and development by my team. It is what I have always wanted for myself.

One thing that makes herbal skincare so transformative is the inherent energy carried by the plants. In their world, flaws are nonexistent as they do not resonate on such frequencies. The plant world is one of evolution, healing, and adaptation. What we would see as a flaw is merely something showing up to further support the health of the plant. If I can impart one message to those who use Laurel Skin, it would be to embrace and understand your skin’s expressions as messengers, healers, or adaptations calling for nourishment and support.

Within these tiny bottles lie my hopes for the future: a reality where we collaborate intimately with plants to support the health of our skin and bodies. I believe in a future where the beauty industry embraces imperfections for what they truly are: a symptom to be supported and deeply nourished, not a flaw to be fixed. In the eyes of plants, we are always perfect and as we should be.
