Like our other Hydrating Elixirs, this serum-mist hybrid is an essential hydration step within the Laurel Skin line. Winter Elixir has a diverse phytonutrient profile led by its whole plant humectants and botanical hyaluronic acid. Nourishing polysaccharides, B vitamins, resveratrol, and barrier-supportive nutrients in our herbalist-made extracts and single-farm hydrosols enhance circulatory flow, restore resiliency, and rehydrate the deepest layers of the skin.

Artisan-distilled hydrosols of California-grown Heirloom DAMASK ROSES and vibrant, flowering tops of medicinal TULSI blooms are at the core of this seasonal deep tissue hydration Elixir. Herbalist-made, whole-plant extracts of water-binding MARSHMALLOW ROOT hydrate deeply into the dermis with the root’s unique combination of essential minerals and mucilaginous polysaccharides. Brightening LICORICE ROOT soothes inflammation and fades hyperpigmentation, while skin-firming and flavonoid-rich HAWTHORNE BERRY and CRANBERRY deliver a potent reparative – a broad-spectrum dose of resveratrol and powerful antioxidants. 

SENSORY PROFILE
How it feels: a pale garnet-hued mist that feels substantial, absorbing into weightless, softening hydration
How it smells: soft rose petals and earthy roots with a distinct note of herbal spice

USAGE
Shake Elixir well with each use and mist directly and generously onto clean skin. Follow with a Serum and/or Balm.

RITUAL
Using too much Elixir is not a thing, especially in the Winter months. Elixir should be applied before a Serum, but it can also be applied after Serum too, before a Balm, and after a Balm again! It should also be used in combination with Compound application. The more Elixir layers that are included in your ritual, the more deeply hydrated your skin will be.

A Winter Ritual for dry, depleted skin would look like: Winter Elixir, Hydration Compound, Petal Alchemy. Then finish with more Winter Elixir and Night Balm.

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

ROSE
Delicate Rose petals are powerful humectants and contain barrier-supportive properties, making them effective hydrators that prevent transepidermal water loss. Rich in replenishing compounds like flavonoids, anthocyanins, palmitic acid, gallic acid, and vitamins B, C, and E. Potent yet gentle, rose soothes and repairs the skin while strengthening skin firmness and increasing elasticity.

TULSI
This stunningly aromatic herb promotes the movement of lymph flow and microcirculation beneath the skin. It swiftly dispels stagnation, inviting new life and fresh nutrients to the skin. It soothes muscles and nerves while delivering antioxidant-rich nourishment to cells. It brings vitality and strength where there was once dryness and dullness. The Holy Basil herbal flower is potent medicine and not suited to those with heightened reactive skin.

MARSHMALLOW
Nature’s hyaluronic acid. This mucilaginous and polysaccharide-rich root is considered a water-binding superhydrator. With a unique mineral profile and containing galacturonic and glucuronic acids and ferulic acid, Marshmallow is supportive of both our lipid barrier and microbiome while deeply hydrating all layers of the skin. It offers a wealth of B vitamins, lecithin and phytosterols – all vital for long-term hydration. Soothing, softening, and anti-inflammatory, this fluffy, mineral-rich root is loved by herbalists everywhere.

ASTRAGALUS
Closely studied for its ability to disrupt cellular aging by protecting our telomeres, Astragalus is a DNA-repairing, skin-rebuilding, longevity powerhouse. Astragalus is a well-known anti-inflammatory, effective at calming irritation and stimulating surface immunity.

CRANBERRY
Our Cranberries are delicately dried and cold-pressed to create one of my favorite fruit and seed oils. Cranberry Seed Oil is high in resveratrol polyphenols and essential fatty acids 3, 6, and 9. It is a cooling anti-inflammatory, rich in tannins and strengthening minerals.

Ëšorganically 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 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
  • No lab-made, synthetic isolates, bioidenticals, or biomimetics – only whole plants
  • Microdosed essential oils for microbiome support, without overwhelming the skin

The abbreviated list above cannot be found elsewhere – our level of care and integrity is proudly unreasonable.

Roses Grow in California Too
As many of you know, we have a lot of pride in sourcing our plants as directly and domestically as possible. Lavender from Provence, Roses from Bulgaria, Citrus from Italy…it all sounds terribly romantic. But the truth is, many of these same plants grow beautifully right here in the United States. However, they’re far more expensive to grow and process here, which is largely why so few skincare brands source them domestically.

Supporting small family farms, especially those within driving distance of our California home, gives us an extraordinary connection to our ingredients. We know the growers, we know the plants, and we have a much closer hand in their quality. It also means less distance traveled, though sourcing this way becomes more challenging each year as costs, paperwork, and regulations increase.

I used to dream of bringing California-grown Damask Rose Hydrosol into our Elixirs for some time. We still don’t have access to enough to use these California Roses for everything, but they do dominate the Winter Elixir! Perfectly paired with spicy Tulsi, which so many of you already know and love, deeply hydrating roots, and dark, inky, antioxidant-rich winter berries, Winter Elixir makes for a lush, pretty nostalgic winter creation. One that is rooted in place and uniquely suited to replenishing dry, dull, and stagnant winter skin.
