Laurel Hydrating Elixir II delivers instant hydration and soothing relief to reactive, irritated skin. This mist-serum hybrid combines cooling single-farm hydrosols and herbalist-made extracts, rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, to balance the skin’s microflora and strengthen its barrier.

With anti-inflammatory ingredients like curcumin and azulene, plus B vitamins and humectant complexes, it reduces redness, breakouts, and irritation.

Suitable for all skin types, especially acne-prone, inflamed, or sensitive skin.

Ingredient benefits:

  • TURMERIC: deeply anti-inflammatory and brightening
  • CHAMOMILE: cools and soothes red, irritated skin
  • MEADOWSWEET: Pore clarifying, soothing and balancing plant.  Meadowsweet is also a source of salicylic acid while also being anti-inflammatory
  • LEMON BALM: This unique hydrosol and essential oil is rare and delicate. Its high antioxidant content is specific to cellular renewal and repair. It also has a lymph affinity, inspiring movement and flow over stagnation. It can have a balancing effect on our surface immunity and microbiome.
  • HELICHRYSUM: immediately reduces swelling and over time, it reduces the appearance of scars and broken capillaries.

An essential step after cleansing, and before applying any serum or balm. Generously mist clean skin, and while skin is still moist apply serum and press into skin. Follow with another misting and application of balm or moisturizer.

Q: Why do I need to use a face mist? Isn’t it just an unnecessary step?

A: A face mist is a powerful hydration booster that is non-negotiable for your routine. Damp skin is far more permeable than dry skin, allowing your serums, oils, and moisturizers to absorb deeper and work more effectively. Mists also provide the essential water content that ingredients like hyaluronic acid need to bind to the skin, preventing moisture loss and leaving your barrier soft and prepped. Always apply your serums and moisturizers immediately onto damp, freshly misted skin to seal in hydration.

Q: Which skin types benefit the most from Hydrating Elixir II: Support + Recover?

A: This unique serum-mist hybrid is formulated specifically for skin experiencing imbalance, redness, reactivity,  or chronic breakouts. It is ideal for sensitive, combination, oily, and acne-prone skin types that require deep hydration and calming without heavy oils. Powerful whole-plant botanicals like German chamomile, lavender, and calendula work to calm active inflammation while balancing the surface microbiome for a clearer, more resilient complexion.

Q: How does this elixir provide hydration if it is a lightweight mist?

A: Unlike traditional water-based toners, this formula contains zero plain water. It is crafted entirely from artisan-distilled single-farm hydrosols and concentrated whole-plant macerations. Ingredients like milky oats and calendula provide dense plant-based humectants and polysaccharides that mimic the skin's natural moisture factors, pulling hydration deep into the cells to support your lipid barrier while remaining completely weightless.

Q: How do I incorporate this product into my daily mindful beauty ritual?

A: This elixir is an essential step after cleansing and before applying any serum or balm. Generously mist clean skin, and while your skin is still moist, apply your serum and press it into the skin. You can then follow with another misting of the elixir before applying your balm or moisturizer. This layered technique maximizes absorption and locks in the water-soluble vitamins.
