Demystifying Laurel Whole-Plant Organic Skincare

When we let ourselves dream of opening a spa, we knew we’d want our treatments to use the highest-quality organic skincare products we could find. Laurel Skincare is that! It’s potent, whole plant medicine for your skin. Laurel herself was inspired by the slow food movement to make skincare products from organically grown, local plants. At first glance, the line of black glass bottles on the shelf at HAND & LAND can look a bit intimidating, but we promise these products are anything but complicated.

Choose a cleanser.
These don’t foam, which allows them to support & restore the skin’s lipid barrier & microbiome while removing makeup & pollutants.

• Effortless Cleanser – for normal, dry, sensitive, or mature skin. Gentle enough for rosacea & daily use.
• Oil Cleanser – for normal, oily, or combination skin (not for sensitive skin). Use weekly or biweekly for deep cleansing.
• Support Cleanser – for oily, reactive, & inflamed skin. Great for daily use.
• Essential Lipids – a multipurpose cleanser & moisturizer. Perfect for skin healing from crises, illness, or autoimmune conditions.

Choose an Elixir.
Provides hydration & allows moisturizers & treatments to penetrate the skin. They smell divine & you’ll want to spritz them all day for a fragrant pick me up.

• Elixir I – for normal, dry, sensitive, or mature skin.
• Elixir II – for oily, reactive, inflamed skin & hyperpigmentation.
• Rosemary Elixir – hydrates, relieves muscle tension, stimulates hair growth, & supports circulation & lymph.

Choose a Serum.
Concentrated treatments that only take a few drops.

• Antioxidant Serum – for all skin types; restores vitality.
• Unburden Serum – for sensitive, inflamed skin; calms & soothes redness, rosacea, cystic breakouts, eczema, hyperpigmentation & loss of elasticity.
• Sun Serum – for sun-damaged skin & hyperpigmentation; enhances resistance to UV damage (not sunscreen).
• Balance Serum – provides light moisture for combination & oily skin.

Add more moisture if needed.

• Day Balm – lighter weight, provides some UV damage resistance (not sunscreen).
• Night Balm – a rich, deeply nourishing moisturizer.

Other Laurel favorites:

• Recovery Balm – supports healing of cuts, rashes, eczema, & bug bites on the face & body.
• Honey Berry Mask – exfoliates, hydrates, firms, & brightens all skin types.
