The Brighten Mask: Phyto Defense + Repair is a potent blend rich in Vitamin C and raw fruit acids, working to lighten pigmentation, repair discolouration damage, and strengthen connective tissue. Ascorbic Acid, polyphenols, bioflavonoids, Vitamin E, and other antioxidants are all found in perfect harmony in the Brighten Mask.

In addition to the Vitamin C dense fruits, other herbs that stand out for sun damage and repair include Gotu Kola (for strengthening connective tissue), Calendula (for barrier support) and Comfrey (for cell regeneration), all mindfully sourced from local artisan farms. Its concentrated formula yields unmatched vibrancy, with visible benefits after just one use.

 **Like most Laurel Whole Plant Organics masks, this mask is a dry powder to maintain its pure and fresh ingredients.


CAMU CAMU: One of the highest plant sources of vitamin C in the world. Because it’s in whole plant form it contains all of its beneficial cofactors and bioflavonoids that make ascorbic acid more effective. It has shown to support natural collagen production, brighten skin, and repair the cellular damage which leads to discolouration and loss of elasticity.

ROSEHIP FRUIT: high vitamin C content as well as vitamin E and vitamin A, making this fruit ideal for brightening and resurfacing. It has been studied at length for its ability to reduce the appearance of scars, encourage new cell growth, and minimize the appearance of fine lines by supporting collagen and connective tissue.

FRANKINCENSE: Distilled in Vermont by a family who travels to Somalia each year for harvesting. This ingredient has been used for centuries to revitalize and heal damaged skin. Its water soluble nutrients show a regulating and healing effect on cellular DNA.

CARROT SEED: proven to help prevent sun damage from occurring as well as repair UV damage related symptoms such as discolouration and loss of elasticity.

GOTU KOLA: supports connective tissue and collagen, by protecting it and encouraging new growth. Our Gotu Kola is the most vibrant in the world and grown exclusively for us by a nearby farm. It is a plant that we cannot do without in any vibrant-aging formula.

Apply 1 teaspoon or less of Brighten Mask to mask bowl, and trickle a bit of water in with your fingertips to preferred consistency. Mix with a brush into a slightly runny paste and allow to steep like tea for a few minutes. Allowing the Mask to steep will cause it to thicken and will further activate ingredients. Once ready to apply, moisten face and hands. Apply gently to face and neck with fingertips or preferably a mask brush. Leave on for 10-30 minutes, then rinse. Keep mask hydrated to keep mask active and to prevent drying on the skin. The longer the mask is left on the more frequently it will need to be rehydrated to stay active. Re-hydrate it with a brush, fingertips, or a mister bottle of water. Brighten Mask can be applied to the full face and neck, or used to target areas and spot treat discoloration and hyperpigmentation. Use within 12 months of opening and by the recommended use-by date, which is found on the bottom of the jar. Store this product in a cool, dry and dark place. Keep contents of jar dry and free from moisture.

Q: What primary skin concerns does the Brighten Mask target, and which skin types is it best for?

A: Laurel Brighten Mask: Phyto Defense + Repair is a nutrient-dense, powder-to-gel treatment formulated to target hyperpigmentation, sun damage, uneven skin tone, scarring, and dullness. Because it uses whole-plant vitamin C and gentle botanical antioxidants rather than isolated, harsh synthetic acids, it delivers powerful brightening and repair for all skin types—including sensitive, reactive, and mature complexions.

Q: Why is this mask packaged as a dry powder, and how do I mix it?

A: Keeping the mask in a dry powder state preserves the potency, freshness, and stability of the delicate phytonutrients and enzymes until the exact moment of use without needing synthetic preservatives.

  • To Mix: Combine 1 teaspoon or less of powder with 1 teaspoon of liquid (warm water, a Laurel Hydrosol, or raw honey) in a small bowl. Stir the mixture until a preferred consistency, then allow it to sit for 1–2 minutes to activate before applying.

Q: How should I apply the Brighten Mask, and how long should I leave it on?

A: Using a mask brush or your fingertips, apply a generous layer over clean skin on your face, neck, and chest.

  • Treatment Time: Leave the mask on for 10 to 20 minutes.
  • Crucial Tip (Keep it Wet): Never let a powder mask dry completely on your skin, as drying can draw out essential moisture and cause unnecessary redness. Spritz your skin regularly with warm water or a hydrosol while wearing the mask to keep it active and hydrated.
  • To Remove: Rinse thoroughly with warm water using a soft cloth, then immediately follow with your favorite Laurel Hydrosol and Elixir to lock in nourishment. Use 1–2 times per week for best results.

Q: Is it normal to experience redness or flushing after using a Laurel mask?

A: Yes! Because Laurel masks are formulated with 100% active, plant-based ingredients, you may experience a temporary flush right after use—much like the natural warmth and redness you get after washing your face with warm water. This is completely normal and should subside shortly after application.

Q: What if the redness feels heightened or doesn't fade quickly?

A: If you experience heightened or persistent redness, active ingredients from other skincare products in your routine may be interacting with the mask's potent plant actives. If you're unsure about your current combination, feel free to contact us to make sure this product is right for your skin!
