Laurel Unburden Serum: Deep Tranquility

Sensitive, reactive, acneic skin? You need this.

“The success of my husbands daily routine using a toner, Laurel's Unburden Serum and moisturizer has improved the sunspots on his face to the point where his dermatologist said, "continue what you're doing, as we don't need to book another appointment.””           -Claudia

Laurel Unburden Serum is a multitasking oil serum designed to alleviate inflammatory conditions such as acne, rosacea, dryness and sensitivity. Its goal is to support all skin functions and nurture the skin barrier for truly healthier, calmer and clearer skin.

Evening Primrose, Jojoba, and Tamanu soothe and nourish, while Chia and Pomegranate enhance viscosity for added moisture. Baical Skullcap, Licorice Root, and Helichrysum offer potent botanical support against chronic inflammation and irritation.

Essential oils like German Blue Chamomile and Helichrysum, meticulously dosed, aid skin repair and tranquility without overwhelming even the most sensitive skin types.

**This serum also contains plants that have been studied for their ability to support our skin against UV damage, such as Red Raspberry Seed, Cranberry Seed, and Jojoba.**

EVENING PRIMROSE: Freshly pressed and produced exclusively for our line, this California-made raw, unrefined oil reduces inflammation with its vast essential fatty acid profile, while it aids in reducing the appearance of fine lines and scarring.

GERMAN CHAMOMILE: This azulene-rich plant is a cooling relief to red or irritated skin of any kind. It is a potent anti-inflammatory that provides soothing, gentle regeneration. This plant often gets confused with Blue Tansy, sometimes referred to as Moroccan Chamomile, but German Chamomile is actually much gentler and soothing to the skin and poses less opportunity for reactivity.

BAICAL SKULLCAP: As lovers of herbal medicine, this is by far the most potent anti-inflammatory that we have found. It has a strong antihistamine-like effect and supports the skin to work through reactivity with ease. This vibrant yellow root is also specific to allergic reactions and supports skin that often flares up in response to food and environments.

HELICHRYSUM: Freshly distilled for us in the Pacific Northwest, this little yellow flower is as gentle as it is potent. It strengthens tissues and supports healthy cellular activity, and reduces the appearance of scars and broken capillaries. This plant is a true healer, and a powerful anti-inflammatory.

LEMON BALM: This nutrient-rich green leaf, also known as Melissa, is high in delicate antioxidants that work swiftly to reduce free radical damage. It is specific to mending and soothing inflamed and problematic skin, and it also has a lymph and immune system affinity that has a regulatory effect. This plant speaks directly to the name of this Serum, Unburden, because its Rosmarinic Acid content can have a reduction and positive effect on lymphedema, puffiness and water retention.

Q: What is the primary purpose of the Unburden Serum, and which skin types benefit most?

A: The Unburden Serum: Deep Tranquility is a lipid-rich, whole-plant treatment serum designed specifically to calm, center, and restore skin that is chronically inflamed, reactive, or highly sensitive. It is exceptionally beneficial for those struggling with rosacea, eczema, hot or flushing skin, and cystic blemishes. Unlike conventional serums that use isolated actives which can overwhelm delicate tissue, this formula uses unrefined botanical oils to cool surface heat, reduce persistent redness, and deeply nourish a stressed skin barrier.

Q: What are the key whole-plant ingredients that provide this "deep tranquility" to the skin?

A: This artisanal formula is built on a base of raw, cold-pressed evening primrose, jojoba, and red raspberry seed oils, which provide a rich profile of anti-inflammatory essential fatty acids. It is slowly infused with a masterfully curated blend of therapeutic herbs, including calendula to stimulate tissue repair, chamomile and lemon balm to settle surface irritation, and skullcap to pacify cellular stress. This synergy acts like an adaptogenic blanket, signaling the skin to move out of a defensive, reactive state and into a state of healing.

Q: How do I incorporate the Unburden Serum into my daily skincare ritual? 

A: Apply Unburden Serum after cleansing and misting the skin. Put two to three drops onto your fingertips and gently massage into your face and neck. If needed, reapply your mist over top to ensure adequate absorption. This extra layer of hydration helps the precious botanical oils melt seamlessly into the skin, leaving your complexion feeling deeply nourished, balanced, and serene.
