Additional information

FORMULA NOTES	Oil Cleanser is composed of 12 medicinal plants, creating a cleanser that not only cleanses the surface tissue but works much like oil pulling for the skin, encouraging lymphatic flow, circulation, release, and renewal. This is a product that transforms routine into ritual, with grounding and ethereal aromatics that inspire a slower pace. The cleansing oils in this formula, including raw, unrefined SAFFLOWER, SUNFLOWER, and SESAME, were chosen specifically for the size and shape of their fatty acid profiles. Together, they create an ideal balance: small enough to move into pores and loosen congestion, yet substantial enough to allow for slow massage and effective release. Oils that are too heavy cannot cleanse thoroughly, while oils that absorb too quickly cannot draw debris out. This precise combination allows impurities and makeup to lift to the surface without stripping or disrupting the barrier. The matriarch of self-care, the inhalation of ROSEMARY interacts with the limbic system, turns cleansing into a ritual, and allows for a deeper release. Rosemary encourages movement and flow to blood circulation and lymph, reducing puffiness, and supporting systems of nourishment and detoxification. The primary brightener in this formula is TURMERIC evening skin tone, and bringing clarity to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Plants to balance the skin’s lipid barrier and microbiome, CALENDULA, TAMANU, and BLACK CUMIN are traditionally associated with regeneration, calming, and soothing repair, and provide broad antioxidant protection. Essential oils play a larger role in this product than most in the Laurel Skin line due to their ability to immediately impact the nervous system, putting it into a state of parasympathetic, enhancing the skin’s ability to both release and receive. A custom distillation of bright non-photosensitizing GREEN MANDARIN blended with YLANG YLANG and NEROLI inspires relaxation and both mental and physical unwinding. SENSORY PROFILE How it feels: A silky, mid-weight, pale yellow oil blend that leaves skin soft and bright How it smells: Spicy, green medicinal herbs balanced by bright citrus and ethereal floral notes PHYTOCHEMISTRY PROFILE Deep Clarity contains these notable phytonutrients, along with many others: essential fatty acids, vitamin E, carotenoids (lutein and beta-carotene), phytosterols, phytoceramides, various flavonoids and polyphenols (quercetin and rutin), resins, triterpenoids, curcuminoids, trace minerals and tannins, rosmarinic acid, ursolic acid, camphor, pinene, limonene, linalool, farnesol, carophyllene, geraniol
USAGE + RITUAL	USAGE Dispense 3-4 pumps onto fingertips and apply to dry skin. Massage well around congested areas and makeup. Apply a warm, steamy towel and gently wipe away dirt, makeup, and excess oil. Repeat towel removal step 1-2 more times, if needed. Oil Cleanser can be used daily on some skin types, but for most, we suggest it be used as a weekly or bi-weekly deep cleansing ritual. RITUAL Oil Cleanser is best used slowly, allowing a bit of time and gentle massage to encourage the release of tense facial muscles. Apply to dry skin and massage into the face, jaw, neck, and chest using slow, loving movements. The movement of the hands and the aromatic oils help release tension and invite circulation and lymphatic movement to areas that often become stagnant when stressed. After a longer massage of 5–10 minutes, use a warm, steamy cloth to gently wipe away most of the cleanser. Rinse and rewarm the cloth to repeat warm cloth compressions, pressing firmly into the skin. Pause at the temples, along the neck, and across the shoulders, relaxing the skin and muscles. Use within six months of opening and before the recommended use-by date on the bottom of the bottle. Store in a cool, dry, and dark place.
THE POTENT PLANTS WITHIN	100% Whole Plant Organic ROSEMARY Grown in abundance at the Laurel Skin farm, Rosemary is a stimulating plant ally traditionally associated with circulation and lymphatic movement. In this cleanser, it helps ease facial tension and encourage release, supporting clarity through movement rather than force. Rosemary considers itself the matriarch of self-care, immediately impacting the nervous system to slow down and regulate. SUNFLOWER + SAFFLOWER SEED OILS Freshly pressed locally and made exclusively for Laurel, these skin-compatible cleansing oils gently bind to pore congestion and dissolve oxidized sebum. Their balanced fatty acid profiles allow for a deep, effective cleanse while leaving the skin nourished and supple. BLACK CUMIN SEED OIL Pressed with great care to preserve its full spectrum of phytonutrients, this artisan oil supports balance within the skin’s microbiome. It is traditionally valued for calming inflammation and helping skin maintain equilibrium during periods of congestion or stress. TURMERIC This powerful anti-inflammatory root is used for its calming and brightening properties. Turmeric helps ease visible redness and irritation, supporting a clearer, brighter, more even-looking complexion. SESAME SEED OIL Freshly pressed and unrefined, Sesame Seed Oil draws from the Ayurvedic tradition of Abhyanga, where it is used to gently cleanse, mobilize impurities, and support the skin’s natural balance. Rich in naturally occurring phytoceramides and a vast network of minerals, it supports the skin’s microbiome and lipid barrier.

AN UNREASONABLE STANDARD	Laurel Skin formulas set a benchmark for high ingredient and formulation standards that the beauty industry would collectively consider unreasonable. Here are a few highlights that set our Day Balm apart: Exclusive use of freshly pressed, unrefined, virgin oils to maintain antioxidant and nutrient availability Exclusive use of 100% organic, biodynamic and regeneratively grown plants A 3-month whole-plant infusion in every bottle No lab-made, synthetic isolates, bioidenticals, or biomimetics – only whole plants Micro-dosed essential oils for immediate phytonutrient support, without overwhelming the skin The abbreviated list above cannot be found elsewhere – our level of care and integrity is proudly unreasonable.
HERBALIST INSIGHT	Movement is a Missing Piece in Skin Health The face is rich in lymphatic tissue, yet unlike blood, the lymphatic system has no pump of its own. It relies on movement, warmth, breath, and gentle pressure to circulate. When lymph becomes stagnant, it can show up on the skin as puffiness, congestion, breakouts, dullness, or a heavy, tired appearance. Oil Cleanser was formulated with this in mind. The combination of skin-compatible oils and movement-focused botanicals, combined with slow massage, initiates movement beneath the surface, helping stagnation soften and release. Used as a ritual rather than a quick cleanse, this formula supports the skin’s natural clearing pathways, allowing clarity and brightness to return without force from the outside.
