Sleep Balm

Description

Laurel Skin Sleep Balm: Somatic Rest is an evening balm centered on the restorative ritual of touch and the connection between body and rest. Massaged into the skin before bed, its earthy roots and medicinal herbal notes accompany moments of physical unwinding, helping ease the body out of the activity of the day and into a more restful state.

Valerian, lavender and passionflower bring calming plant properties to the blend, while pumpkin seed and milky oats provide naturally occurring magnesium. Working together, these whole plants support the balm’s focus on physical relaxation and deeply restorative rest, creating a comforting bedtime ritual for an overworked body.

ABOUT THIS BRAND

After rising in the ranks as a natural product formulator, Laurel occupies an industry category all her own. Plant Shaman might more aptly describe her almost mystical intuition and reverence for the healing power of the natural world. A former sommelier, she relies on her highly trained senses and deep knowledge of growing practices to craft therapeutic-grade, high-performance skincare. As a leader of the slow beauty movement, Laurel’s namesake brand, Laurel Skin, is the creative expression of her strongest conviction: that beauty should be a loving, ritualistic practice with the finest raw, organic, farm-sourced and handcrafted materials. She harvests her ingredients for her Laurel Skin products from organic farms within a 100-mile radius from her Northern California studio, ensuring that her oils and infusions, each vibrant in color and bursting with plant energy, meet her exacting standards for organic plant-based skincare products.

Please note, Laurel Skin products are excluded from promotions including the Beauty Heroes member discount.
