The Herbalist 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.

PLANTS vs SYNTHETICS
There remains a significant stigma in the beauty industry that synthetic nutrients are necessary to alter the health and appearance of our skin – this belief couldn’t be further from reality. Whole organic plants, when handled with great care and formulated appropriately, deliver potent concentrations of phytonutrients that can transform the skin. Laurel Skin Compounds are rich in nutrients such as botanical hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, vitamin C, and ferulic acid. All of the plant’s nutrients are proportioned and in balance, with complex delivery and stability systems inherent in the plants themselves. If you are seeking a conventional product alternative, this chart below will guide you:

Hydration Compound – Hyaluronic Acid
for Dryness, Dehydration, Fine Lines, Skin Firming

Soothe Compound – Niacinamide or Hydrocortisone
for Inflammation, Acne + Breakouts, Barrier Support, Redness

Radiance Compound – Vitamin C of AHAs
for Dullness, Gentle Exfoliation, Uneven Tone + Texture

Lymph Compound – No Conventional Comparison
for Puffiness, Congestion, Contour Definition, Stagnant Fluid Flow

Brighten Compound – Arbutin or Hydroquinone
for Hyperpigmentation, Sun Damage, UV + Heat Induced Oxidation

Vitality Compound – Retinol or Stem Cells
for Healthy Aging, Lack of Vibrancy, Cellular Renewal

Please visit each Compound page for a detailed information on usage and ingredients.

USAGE
The Herbalist Collection is here for you to reach for in response to the day-to-day condition and expression of your skin. Your ritual may look slightly different each day as you use the Compounds to meet your skin wherever it is on its unique journey. These Compounds were designed to be used based on Symptom, Conventional Comparison, or Internal Intuition. Use the Booklet to guide you and let the plants show you the way.

SENSITIVITY NOTE
Our Compounds are not recommended for reactive skin (with the exception of Soothe Compound). Due to the phytonutrient potency of our Compounds, we do not recommend them for those who are brand new to Laurel Skin, but rather for those who are already using a Laurel Skin ritual with ease.

RITUAL
Your ritual may look slightly different each day, as you use the Compounds to meet your skin wherever it is in that moment. The more you can trust what the plants have to teach you, the more success you will have with The Herbalist Collection. Here are some examples of what that could look like for you:

SYMPTOM-BASED: Use the included educational booklet to see which Compound best matches the symptoms that are showing up for you in the moment.
CONVENTIONAL SWAP: Are you looking for a whole plant Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, or Retinol alternative? Choose your Compound based on the comparison chart.
INTUITIVELY: Hold the bottles in your hand and see what energy or scent pulls you in. Is there a specific plant that is calling to you? Are you drawn to one Compound over others? There could be a very good reason for that, even if you’re not yet sure what that reason is.

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

Laurel Skin Compounds break an industry mold. A new approach to plant-active skincare and cosmeceuticals, these Compounds have created a first-of-their-kind category.

While it’s common practice for natural skincare to include lab-made synthetic cosmeceutical ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, or hyaluronic acid, we see imbalance in that formulation approach. Those ingredients force the skin into specific actions without providing the complex synergistic nutrients needed to sustain those actions in a balanced way.

The Laurel Skin Compounds provide whole-plant alternatives to common cosmeceutical serums, like retinol, vitamin C, and niacinamide.

These herbalist-created, topical, whole-plant skin supplements are formulated to support the skin through both momentary flare-ups and chronic conditions. Used by the drop with our Hydrating Elixirs, the Compounds support specific skin concerns and evolving symptoms of imbalance, allowing for a more customized Laurel Skin Ritual.

Each Compound is a labor of patient dedication, taking several months to create. Containing multiple types of plant mediums, medicines, and techniques, the intricate process involves each plant undergoing a diverse array of maceration, extraction, and infusion. This process ensures that we capture the complete phytonutrient profile of each whole plant in the final product.

This category and approach is not only unheard-of and unprecedented, but proudly unreasonable.

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 – and sharing it with you is a dream come true.

One thing that makes herbal skincare so transformative is the inherent energy carried by the plants. In their world, flaws are nonexistent, as the frequency of a “flaw” is not on their energetic plane. The plant’s 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.
