The plants that thrive in the Arizona desert have adapted to intense sun, heat, wind, and drought. I looked to these resilient botanicals as inspiration for a Serum that would help skin remain calm, hydrated, and strong when faced with similar environmental challenges.

The fresh plant oils in this formula are all raw and artisan cold-pressed, preserving their full vitality and nourishment. Growing throughout the Miraval Arizona landscape, these desert plants help retain hydration, support barrier function, and strengthen skin resilience. JOJOBA embraces desert life, thriving in heat and sun while helping skin maintain its own resilience through naturally occurring ceramides and barrier-supportive compounds. CHIA SEED contains a wide range of omegas and minerals, including Omega 3 and zinc, which deescalate inflammatory and free-radical looping activity, often triggered by excessive UV radiation. Vitamin E-rich PRICKLY PEAR SEED softens, regenerates, and restores skin exposed to environmental stressors.

A hero of the formula, WOLFBERRY contains specific carotenoids that are stored in cells to form a reserve of antioxidant protection that prevents lipid peroxidation. Resinous CREOSOTE, a well-known indigenous plant, excels at protecting and healing the skin from extreme sun and heat. Nourishing MESQUITE, resinous CREOSOTE, and regionally harvested DESERT WILLOW are mindfully gathered by a local herbalist and slowly extracted to capture their restorative qualities.

Additional UV support and resilience come from RED RASPBERRY SEED OIL and ROSEHIP OIL, unrefined lipids abundant in additional carotenoids and essential fatty acids. Microdosed ROMAN CHAMOMILE and ROSE GERANIUM essential oils are added to provide soothing relief to stressed skin.

WOLFBERRY
A type of native Goji Berry, harvested locally to Miraval Arizona. Wolfberry is full of hard-working carotenoids and xanthophylls that are stored by skin cells to utilize when they need them. These specific antioxidants protect cellular lipids from oxidation, keeping them healthy and strong in times of stress. Wolfberries have also been shown to downregulate inflammatory pathways like NFkB and upregulate endogenous antioxidant production like superoxide dismutase. Goji Berry has a long history in Traditional Chinese Medicine for longevity and vitality – a true vibrant aging plant.

PRICKLY PEAR
Found abundantly throughout the Miraval Arizona property, this rich unrefined oil is soothing and anti-inflammatory. Prickly Pear is high in vitamin E and phytonutrients that repair free radical damage, soften, and reduce the appearance of fine lines.

CHIA SEED OIL
Artisan-pressed by our favorite seed oil presser, Chia contains a wide range of omegas and minerals, including Omega-3, zinc, and magnesium. Omega-3 is specific to preventing sun damage and protecting the lipid barrier from environmental stress. It is soothing, protective, and plumps and firms the skin.

JOJOBA OIL
This Arizona organically farmed and pressed oil embraces desert life. It thrives in the heat and sun and helps our skin do the same. Jojoba is naturally rich in ceramides and is protective to our skin’s natural lipid barrier.

DESERT WILLOW
Harvested regionally to Miraval Arizona, this gentle and calming plant ally helps to strengthen connective tissue. Desert Willow’s soft pink flowers and strong leaves help to reduce redness and inflammation to the skin.

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 Wolfberry Chia Serum 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.

    ARIZONA SOURCING STORY
    After I spent time at Miraval Arizona getting to know the plants on the property, I still felt I needed to get to know desert plant medicine further before I could take on this formula. Working with herbalist Ash Ritter in Tucson was a huge help. Beyond that, I decided to live amongst these desert plants for two months, getting to know them more deeply. Creosote, Juniper, Desert Willow, Chia, Jojoba, Prickly Pear, Pinyon and Mesquite were just a few of the plants that I had the privilege to sit with daily. My time with these plants was quite honestly life-altering. They became what feels very much like family and they are on my mind and heart daily. The medicine of the desert is powerful like nothing else, and I’m honored to share my heart with you in this way.
