This gentle manual Almond Rose Exfoliant: Hydrating Nutrients doubles as an intensely hydrating and nourishment rich mask. Soft grains remove dull, surface skin cells while roots and petals provide hydration, vitamins, and antioxidants to reveal a dewy glow.

 

This dual Exfoliant/Mask is an unsung hero of the Laurel Skin line. Those who have found a place for it in their slow beauty ritual know its efficacy is worth its usage learning curve. The combination of Oats and Almonds provide water-based nutrients like B Vitamins and oil-based nutrients like Vitamin E, both essential for a healthy skin barrier. While most manual exfoliants can be too harsh for delicate facial skin, Almonds and Oats are the opposite; both of them are incredibly soft, making this exfoliant far gentler to all skin types than chemical or enzymatic exfoliants.

 

Marshmallow Root acts as a super hydrator by mimicking the hyaluronic acid in our own skin. Heirloom Rose Petals, another highlight in this formula, provide Vitamin C, anthocyanin, and barrier-supporitve lipids. Our favorite and most sustainable superfood, Nettle, contains amino acids, enzymes, vitamins and minerals that are all essential building blocks for healthy cells and connective tissue. The theme of all of these nutrient-rich plants is to replenish and rebuild post-exfoliation.

Honey – Our raw, organically farmed California honey is fresh and vibrant, delivered directly by our partnering farms. Honey is an ideal choice to balance the microbiome: with the ability and intelligence to halt the overgrowth of harmful bacteria colonies while still leaving allowance for a diverse beneficial microbiome to exist. It has gentle enzymatic action that works to turn over cells in a non-forceful way. As if that wasn’t enough, Honey is hydrating, and visibly plumps and firms the skin.

 

Raspberries – Organic raspberries have dense vitamin C and bioflavonoid content. They are high in enzymes and gentle acids which help to exfoliate and brighten skin tone, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation of all kinds.

 

Blueberries – Blueberries are a superfood buffet of different antioxidants including anthocyanins, polyphenols, resveratrol, along with vitamin C and its helpful cofactors. Antioxidants work by preventing cellular damage from occurring by neutralizing free radicals and strengthening our skin’s overall health.

 

Blackberries – Blackberries grow abundantly in our California home. Like the other berries above, Blackberries also contain vitamin C, and are an excellent source of manganese, which is an important building block for collagen formation.

 

Aronia Berry – Aronia is another fruit we have been loving lately, because not only is it an antioxidant and resveratrol-rich superfood, but it grows effortlessly in most of North America. We love it when superfoods don’t have such a big carbon footprint! This one is grown for us by a farm in the Pacific Northwest.

 

Grapefruit + Sweet Orange – Both Grapefruit and Sweet Orange essential oils are specific for balancing the skin as well as lifting the spirit. Both of these oils are hydro-distilled just for us; which means there is no concern for phototoxicity, since those furocoumarins in question are not even present in hydro-distillations.
