Hydrating Elixir I: Phytonutrient Replenish is a combination of deeply hydrating, nutrient and antioxidant rich whole plants that keep skin looking healthy, firm and supple. Our Hydrating Elixirs are an essential step to hydration within a Laurel Skin ritual. This is a hydrating mist/serum combination, made of artisan distilled single farm hydrosols, along with a combination of herbalist-made and housemade whole plant extracts. The plants chosen for this Elixir bring an abundance of polysaccharides, B vitamins, enzymes, bioflavonoids, polyphenols, resveratrol, vitamin C, and plant humectants that mimic hyaluronic acid; all phytonutrients within their whole plant synergy. This microbiome balancing Elixir is good for all skin types, and is best suited to dry, mature, sensitive, and rosacea symptoms.
Heirloom Rose is the prominent plant in this formula, while earthy roots, barks, mushrooms and spicy resins play an important role to make this formula more deeply hydrating, restorative, and diverse in beneficial plant constituents. Marshmallow Root is a key player, which has the ability to deeply hydrate fascia and move through stagnation with its unique combination of helpful minerals, B vitamins, and mucilaginous compounds. Polysaccharides found in Reishi Mushroom and Saponins in skin-brightening Licorice Root soothe the skin and help nutrients to move through the lipid barrier. Resins and barks strengthen and promote cellular healing and repair from artisan distilled Sandalwood and Frankincense hydrosols. Vitamin C, alongside all of its helpful co-factors, is present and plentiful in Hibiscus, Hawthorn, Schisandra, and colorful Rose petals. Rose is an ideal plant for sensitive skin and repairing a damaged skin barrier. Roses are present in this Elixir in five different forms: hydrosol, two different types of fresh heirloom petal infusions, Rosehip supercritical extract, and a hint of rare White Rose essential oil.
