Hyperpigmentaion, Sun Damage

Brighten Compound: Resin + Rhizome is a first-of-its-kind category, Compounds are herbalist-created skin supplements, carefully formulated to replace lab-made synthetic cosmeceutical options with whole plant alternatives. Used by the drop to complement our Hydrating Elixirs, each concentrated plant medicine blend targets specific skin concerns and supports symptoms of imbalance as they arise, allowing for even more customization within a Laurel Skin Ritual.

Key Benefits:

• Lifts the burden of oxidative stress and inflammation.

• Brightens and balances melanin production.

• Builds skin's resilience to both heat and UV exposure.

Why Choose Brighten Compound?
While most similar to a cosmeceutical Arbutin or Hydroquinone, it's important to consider that not all hyperpigmentation stems solely from sun exposure. Inflammation and oxidative damage are often underlying causes where excess melanin develops as a protective adaptation. This compound offers a holistic, whole-plant approach to addressing these concerns.

Hero Ingredients:

• Creosote: A resinous desert shrub that protects against lipid oxidation and free radical damage with its notable antioxidant, NDGA. It aids our skin's ability for resilience against intense UV radiation.

• Licorice: An effective skin brightener and potent anti-inflammatory that slows melanin production by inhibiting tyrosinase and prevents additional sun damage from occurring.

• Uva Ursi: An herbalist's potent, whole plant alternative to hydroquinone that reduces melanin production, aiding in the repair of acne scars and melasma, while promoting cellular rejuvenation.

• Frankincense: Often referred to as "nature's bandaid," Frankincense promotes rapid cellular repair with its anti-inflammatory, strengthening, and antiseptic properties. Its concentration of Boswellic Acid has been shown to correct DNA damage caused by too much sun exposure.

• Turmeric: Possibly the most anti-inflammatory plant in any herbalist's arsenal, working through multiple inflammatory biochemical pathways to brighten skin tone.

Usage:

Shake well before each use; for best results, empty dropper fully prior to shaking. After a generous mist of Elixir, apply only 1-2 drops of Compound to damp skin. Follow with Serum and/or Balm.

Important Notes:

We do not recommend our Compounds for those who are brand new to Laurel Skin due to their concentrated potency. They are intended for those who celebrate the power of plants, preferring them to all other synthetic interventions, and are already using a Laurel Skin ritual with success and ease. Natural variations in texture, scent, or color may occur from batch to batch, or throughout the shelf life of the product, but do not affect the quality or efficacy of the product.
