Hydrating Elixir II: Support + Recover

Hydrating Elixir II: Support + Recover delivers immediate hydration and soothing relief to reactive, irritated, inflamed skin. Our Hydrating Elixirs are an essential step to hydration within a Laurel Skin ritual. This product is a hydrating mist/serum combination, made of cooling artisan distilled single farm hydrosols, along with a combination of herbalist-made and housemade whole plant extracts. This vitamin, mineral, and antioxidant-rich mist calms and relieves the skin while balancing the skin’s microflora for a clear complexion. The plants in this blend boast many hydrating, nutritive, and anti-inflammatory constituents like curcumin and azulene, along with B vitamins, enzymes, salicylic acid*, polyphenols, and humectant complexes that mimic hyaluronic acid. This Elixir is good for all skin types, but is especially well-suited to acne, inflammation of any kind, hyperpigmentation, and skin that is in need of extra soothing support in order to function in a healthy way. Chamomile is the star of the show, with its blue-tinged hue coming from azulene, a cooling and soothing plant phytochemical. A mist of this Elixir is reminiscent of an unruly flowering herbal garden, with Neroli, Lemon Balm, and Helichrysum present to support the skin as they have for centuries. A delicate California Orange Blossom enfleurage brightens up this blend with its ethereal scent and balancing medicine. Whole plant herbal infusions such as Milky Oats and Calendula aid in thorough and deep hydration, supporting our skin’s lipid and microbial barrier. Anti-inflammatory champions, such as Licorice, Turmeric and Passionflower provide immediate relief to skin experiencing symptoms ranging from chronic acne to mild irritation. *Not to be confused with isolated lab-made salicylic acid, which often comes with negative side effects for the skin. Salicylic Acid is naturally found in the delicate, healing Meadowsweet plant. When plants’ phytochemicals are accompanied by each other – as Nature intended – they are able to work together in a balanced way that does not come with most of the side effects associated with isolated lab-made chemicals.
