BEHIND THE SCENES Something very special is coming this week! This is our biggest launch ever… and it’s been 10+ years in the making. It’s called The Herbalist Collection and it’s unlike anything we have ever offered before so there’s a lot to share - hear me out! The Herbalist Collection is something I have never seen in our industry, yet it’s something I have always wanted for myself. I feel it is something we have ALL been yearning for. This new launch represents many years of study, the collaboration of many herbalists’ minds, and patient testing and development by my team. It takes the very essence of herbalism and amplifies it, placing it front and center in skin health. In the hands of an herbalist, plants are pure, potent medicine. What we are about to offer you is the pinnacle of our herbalist-formulated, whole plant, slow farmed beauty approach: a powerful new method of using whole plants in your journey towards vibrant skin health. As we do with all of our new launches and Limited Editions, we will announce this arrival to our email subscribers first. If you aren’t already a subscriber, sign up on our website and we’ll see you in your inbox. Can’t wait! XO Laurel
Hi, I’m coming to you here on a Monday to say something that has been whirling around in my head. I thought, if I am feeling this, surely others are too! I recently read an article about how we are right on schedule for the 100-year “extinction panic”… no, I am not making this up! The cliff notes of the article are this: something about humanity’s pattern of spiraling back to doom loops when we approach tectonic shifts that inevitably change history. Humanity went through this 100 years ago, in the 1920s, on the heels of a pandemic, a world war, technological innovations poised to change the world, and the birth of the bomb; the world was on the edge of itself for its time. It does feel like we are living in one of those times now. I get it. I look around and see, hear, and feel the anxiety and the uncertainty. For those of us who feel before we see, it’s easy to sense the spiral inching ever closer. When I feel like this, the only thing I want to do is go outside and feel the ground, smell the trees, let nature do what it does best and heal my human wounds. Nature reminds me of the only truth that we can guarantee: change is the one constant and we can never escape that. Ever. When you’re up, it changes. When you’re down, it passes. And on we go. Cultivating presence in this moment, with the circumstances that we have right now, is forever worthy of our energy. Devoting my life to witnessing the natural world has taught me many, many things, and this one might be my most favorite, the one I carry with me everywhere and apply to everything. Today, I hope that you can feel the abundant hope and the joy that is coming. The world is changing and we are changing with it; it will be different, perhaps unrecognizable, but we will have just as much of an opportunity to live in alignment, live in truth, and live in love if we choose to. Thankfully, the article ended on somewhat of a positive note, so Big Doom’s plans for ruining my day were thwa
I am often asked why I am so passionate about using whole plant formulations in skincare. It’s a choice deeply rooted in our commitment to nurturing our skin, our people, and our planet. Whole plants embody the essence of nature’s wisdom, delivering a synergy that can’t be replicated. Whole plants bring the fullest spectrum of nutrients and multidimensional benefits to our skin and to our spirits. Choosing Laurel Skin is a choice to walk this path with me and to say yes to the values that define us. You can see here the transformative journey of Rose into herbal skin medicine. Crafting these products from whole plants is a labor of love, one I consider a profound responsibility to share with you. The outcome is a powerful form of holistic healing, rich in bioavailable phytonutrients that harmonize with your skin while being an integral part of the cycle of regenerative farming and environmental responsibility. For those of you who already know and cherish what we do, your presence and support mean the world to us. Choosing Laurel Skin isn’t just a purchase; it’s a statement, and I am grateful that you have chosen to walk this path with me. Xo Laurel Image: @trinneteandchris

All skin symptoms and concerns, as well as accelerated aging, stem from inflammation as a root cause. This includes acne, hyperpigmentation, and even lack of hydration and firmness. If you are currently working to improve your skin, then addressing inflammation should be a huge part of skin ritual to accelerate the healing process. Inflammation is a quiet, subtle, chronic, underlying, persistent thief of good health. So many of us are chronically inflamed for a variety of reasons, and have constant health battles, but are unaware of the root cause. Including myself! If you aren’t seeing the results you want to see - either with your internal health or your skin, then it could benefit you greatly to take a step back and focus on treating inflammation first. Lifting the burden of inflammation on a cellular and tissue level will allow every other function of that cell to happen with less effort and more optimally. When our body is chronically inflamed, every other process is compromised. It even prevents us from absorbing and taking in nutrients - this includes vitamins and antioxidants we apply topically to our skin. Our newest product launch Soothe Compound was created just for this reason. It is the most powerful anti-inflammatory product we have in our line, and will unburden the skin enough for vitality and ease to happen again - no matter what skin concern you are trying to heal. xo Laurel
Our anticipated whole-plant-organic Hydration Compound! I am eager to share with you the inspiration behind this new product and all that goes into each batch. Launching early next week, be signed up to our emails to be the first to know. (We have had emails go to spam lately, so please check there too.) This product is the most complex we have ever tackled at our Petaluma apothecary-lab. Therefore, batch sizes are limited and we are unable to offer this product year-round. It can be challenging to predict how quickly limited edition batches leave our Barn, but we don’t recommend waiting for a Hydration Compound if you are sure you want one. Any questions for me below? About our beautiful ingredients or our process? See our previous posts from this week for a deeper dive into our whole plant extracts of Rose, Marshmallow, Astragalus and Chia. xo Laurel
