Laurel Skin - Balance Serum Clarifying Relief

Balance Serum: Clarifying Relief is a feather-light moisturizer, treatment serum, and elemental defense oil, all in one. The lightest facial oil in the Laurel line, its rapid absorption is perfectly suited for skin that is oily, congested or breakout prone. It restores balance to excess oil production, decongests pore build up, and dissolves hardened oxidized sebum deposits. As the name implies, it brings harmony and equilibrium to skin’s microbiome while calming and soothing irritation and active breakouts.

The raw, unrefined lipid oils in this Serum are restorative to a damaged barrier and reactive skin. Sesame and Jojoba, especially, have a unique wax-like structure that mimics our skin’s own lipid layer. Most oily skin products remove the lipid layer, forcing the skin into an unnatural and vulnerable position which it then works hard to correct by over-producing oil. The Balance Serum was created to mimic the skin’s natural lipids, restoring harmony and returning that aspect of skin function to its natural state. This moisturizer also has a high amount of tannins, enzymes, minerals and antioxidants from Cranberry and Pumpkin, making this product well-suited to all forms of dermatitis. Powerful anti-inflammatory plants, like Licorice, Passionflower and Calendula macerate for months before finding their way into the Balance Serum, helping with acne, breakouts and skin irritations. Microdosed essential oils are used as potent tools of plant medicine as opposed to being used for scent. Essential oils of Lavender, Rose Geranium and Clary Sage are chosen specifically for their balancing effect on oil production, the microbiome, and a depleted nervous system by way of the pituitary gland. The skin’s response to stress, and acne as a result of stress, is becoming more widely recognized through psychodermatology – so breathe deeply and be held by these supportive plants.
