A soothing, moisturizing, protective Serum which aides in the defense and repair of UV and elemental oxidative damage.
The Arizona Wolfberry Chia Serum was inspired by Miraval Arizona’s surroundings and the native plants that can be found throughout the diverse landscape. This Serum is full of botanicals chosen to protect and repair the oxidative and inflammatory damage that often occurs in the presence of the strong desert sun. Chia Seed, Prickly Pear, and Jojoba are all raw and artisan cold-pressed to perfection, with all three plants growing familiarly on Miraval Arizona’s walking trails. Three-month-long infusions of flavonoid-rich Wolfberry, nourishing Mesquite, and deeply restorative Creosote are mindfully harvested by local herbalists.
Red Raspberry Seed Oil and Rosehip Seed Oil heighten the carotenoids in this formula, and assist in UV and elemental protection with their powerful free radical defense. Skin-loving and soothing plants like Lavender, Chamomile, and Calendula are included alongside the desert flora to calm and cool the skin after time spent in the sun.
The Wolfberry Chia Serum is the Mindful Ritual Step 3 in this collection.
Limited Quantities Available
Wolfberry – A type of native Goji berry, harvested locally to Miraval Arizona. Wolfberry is full of hard working carotenoids and flavonoids that brighten, strengthen, and protect skin from oxidative stress.
Prickly Pear – Found abundantly throughout the Miraval Arizona property, this rich unrefined oil is soothing and anti-inflammatory. Prickly Pear stimulates new cell growth and reduces the appearance of fine lines. It is high in vitamin E and phytonutrients that repair free radical damage, soften, and regenerate skin.
Chia – Artisan-pressed by our favorite seed oil presser, Chia contains a wide range of omegas and minerals. It is soothing, protective, supportive to our skin barrier, and plumps and firms the skin.
Jojoba – This Arizona organically farmed and pressed oil embraces desert life. It thrives in the heat and sun and helps our skin do the same. Jojoba is naturally rich in ceramides and is protective to our skin’s natural lipid barrier.
Desert Willow – Harvested regionally to Miraval Arizona, this gentle and calming plant ally helps to strengthen connective tissue. Desert Willow’s soft pink flowers and strong leaves help to reduce redness and inflammation to the skin.

*regionally and ethically wildcrafted ingredient
*Wildcrafting is not a term that you see used often at Laurel Skin. In the commercial beauty and health industries wildcrafting or wild-harvesting can put a strain on the environment, animal habitats, and Indigenous communities. Laurel Skin does not condone wildcrafting plants on Indigenous lands unless it only and directly financially supports the Indigenous folks doing the harvesting. Laurel Skin does not condone any scale of wildcrafting that may bring harm to the micro-ecosystems of a particular area. This is especially seen in the essential oil and supplement industries, and we genuinely wish for that type of wildcrafting to come to an end. The wildcrafting done for the Miraval Collection is ethically and mindfully done in small and limited amounts by herbalists local to their regions. None of these plants were harvested on Indigenous lands, and all were harvested on privately owned lands where each plant is abundant not at all at-risk. This responsibility is something Laurel personally takes very seriously, and we do not encourage wildcrafting for those who do not have this level of awareness around this global sourcing concern.
Ritual Step 3 – After applying the Honeysuckle Sage Elixir, press 4 drops of Serum into damp skin. Follow with the Tulsi Rose Balm.
Use within 6 months of opening and by the recommended use-by date, which is found on the bottom of the bottle. Store this product in a cool, dry and dark place.
Arizona Sourcing Story:
After I spent time at Miraval Arizona getting to know the plants on the property, I still felt I needed to get to know desert plant medicine further before I could take on this formula. Working with herbalist Ash Ritter in Tucson was a huge help. Beyond that, I decided to live amongst these desert plants for two months, getting to know them more deeply. Creosote, Juniper, Desert Willow, Chia, Jojoba, Prickly Pear, Pinyon and Mesquite were just a few of the plants that I had the privilege to sit with on a daily basis. My time with these plants was quite honestly life-altering. They became what feels very much like family and they are on my mind and heart daily. The medicine of the desert is powerful like nothing else, and I’m honored to share my heart with you in this way.
