Laurel's Day Balm is a lightweight, waterless salve providing deep moisture and shielding skin from daily environmental stressors. Crafted with raw, whole organic plants, it softens, supports, and fortifies the skin, forming a defense against free radical damage. It fosters cellular healing, encourages new cell growth, and extends collagen lifespan.

Featuring a blend of 28 organic plant ingredients like Calendula, Comfrey, Gotu Kola, Nettle, and Chamomile, it leaves skin balanced, plump, and nourished. Red Raspberry Seed, Cranberry Seed, Carrot Seed, Jojoba, and Sea buckthorn oils offer additional protection from the sun's rays. Rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C, this balm is ideal for anyone, especially those active outdoors, such as golfers, walkers, or skiers. When used consistently with SPF, it minimizes and repairs sun damage for healthier skin at the cellular level.

Suitable Skin Types: Normal, dry, mature, and weather-exposed skin types (exceptional for individuals who spend significant time outdoors or live in dry, cold climates).

*If your balm melted from the summer heat, simply stir up the contents, put it in the fridge for one hour and the balm will be as good as new. The texture may slightly change but this won't affect product performance.

NEROLI: The scent of fresh, bright citrus blossom, Neroli, is uplifting and joyful. Neroli also has a brightening, toning, and balancing effect on the skin.

CALENDULA: Laurel's biodynamic Calendula is farmed and hand-harvested flower by flower exclusively for Laurel Skin. Calendula contains valuable healing resins that make it both deeply restorative and protective on a cellular level. Its abundance of carotenoids and flavonoids make it specific to addressing sun damage prevention and repair.

CARROT SEED: This soothing aromatic oil helps reduce irritation, as well as stimulates the skin’s healing response to sun exposure. It has been shown to firm the skin and brighten discoloration.

ROSEHIP: Laurel's Rosehip Oil is special because it comes from both fruit and seed, making a wider variety of vitamins and nutrients available within the oil. There are no oils that match the unique chemical makeup of Rosehip Oil, which contains retinoic acid, vitamin E, carotenoids, flavonoids, and vitamin C within the fruit. It has been traditionally used and modernly studied for its ability to reduce the appearance of scars and hyperpigmentation, and to minimize the appearance of fine lines by supporting collagen and connective tissue.

GOTU KOLA: Gotu Kola is a plant that supports connective tissue and collagen, by protecting it and encouraging new growth. Our Gotu Kola is the most vibrant in the world, grown exclusively for Laurel by a nearby California farm.

Massage a pea-sized amount of balm to damp, toned skin. Gently work into your skin until the product has fully absorbed. Pro-tip: If you apply a bit too much balm or feel like it is still oily, follow with a couple sprays of toner to help with absorption.

Q: What makes the Day Balm unique compared to traditional moisturizers?

A: The Day Balm: Brilliant Cellular Defense is a 100% whole-plant, water-free moisturizer designed specifically to support and shield the skin during daylight hours. While standard creams rely heavily on water and synthetic emulsifiers, this artisanal balm uses a concentrated blend of raw, unrefined seed oils, plant butters, and whole-herb infusions. It creates a breathable, lipid-rich barrier that locks in moisture, softens fine lines, and works in tandem with your natural skin barrier to defend against environmental stress.

Q: Does this balm provide sun protection, and what are its key botanical ingredients?

A: While it does not contain a chemical or mineral SPF, it is expertly formulated to optimize the skin's natural response to UV and environmental exposure. It features red raspberry seed oil and cranberry seed oil, which are naturally rich in carotenoids, tocopherols, and ellagic acid to prevent free radical damage. This is combined with whole-plant infusions of gotu kola and calendula to stimulate collagen production and calm inflammation, alongside a subtle, grounding blend of absolute oils that support cellular health.

Q: Where does this balm fit into my morning routine, and how should I apply it?

A: This balm is designed to be the final moisturizing step in your morning skincare ritual. First, mist your skin generously with a Hydrating Elixir, then apply your facial serum while your skin is still damp. While the face is still wet, melt a pea-sized amount of the Day Balm completely between your fingertips to activate the botanicals. Gently press and massage it over your face, neck, and décolleté. If you wear mineral makeup or sunscreen, allow the balm to absorb for a few minutes before applying it over top.
