After just one use, tone appears brighter, smoother, and more luminous.

Our whole-plant, powdered Treatment Masks are formulated to provide meaningful symptom-specific support to the skin. Brighten Mask provides immediate brightening and delivers reparative antioxidants to skin that is sun-damaged or hyperpigmented.

Formulated with 13 active botanicals, Brighten Mask is a study in whole-plant vitamin C. Rather than isolated, synthesized ascorbic acid, we deliver vitamin C in its complete expression, accompanied by the bioflavonoids necessary to its efficacy. In nature, antioxidants are never found in isolation; they are always found working together. In this Mask, they support visible brightening, structural integrity, and renewal in skin affected by sun exposure and discoloration.

CAMU CAMU anchors the formula as one of the most concentrated plant sources of vitamin C in the world. Combined with ACEROLA and ROSEHIP, both rich in vitamins C, E, and A, these superfruits support collagen integrity, visible brightness, and the softening of discoloration. These raw fruits also bring viable enzymes and beneficial fruit acids to refine and renew.

To complement this fruit-driven transformation, herbs specific to supporting chronic oxidative stress deepen the formula’s impact. GOTU KOLA reinforces connective tissue strength, CALENDULA contributes carotenoid-rich protection, and COMFREY supports healthy cellular renewal. FRANKINCENSE resin rounds out the blend, relied on for its ability to restore and support vibrant aging.

SENSORY PROFILE
How it feels: softly milled powder that awakens into a golden, lightly textured active paste
How it smells: dense herbal and grassy notes, earthy resins, with a through line of bright citrus

PHYTOCHEMISTRY PROFILE
The most concentrated vitamin C product in the line, Brighten Mask, contains these notable phytonutrients, along with many others:
Vitamin C, flavonoids (including quercetin, anthocyanins, rutin, ++), carotenoids (including beta carotene, lycopene, zeaxanthin, ++), alpha hydroxy acids (including citric and malic), various polyphenols, vitamin E, vitamin A, ellagic acid, gallic acid, steroidal saponins, phytosterols, boswellic acid, limonene, citral, pinene, polysaccharides, tannins, magnesium, potassium, copper, calcium, zinc and other trace minerals

USAGE
Scoop 1 teaspoon or less of Brighten Mask into a Mask Bowl and trickle a bit of water in with fingertips. Using approximately twice as much water as Mask, mix into a runny paste. Allow the Mask to rest and steep (like tea) for a few minutes. Steeping will cause the Mask to thicken and activate its enzymes and water-soluble nutrients. Using the Laurel Skin Mask Brush, apply gently to clean, dampened face and neck. Keep the Mask hydrated, which will keep the Mask activated and prevent it from drying on the skin. The longer the Mask is left on, the more frequently it will need to be rehydrated. Rehydrate the Mask with a wet Mask Brush, wet fingertips, a mister bottle of water, or steam from a bath or shower. Leave on for 10-30 minutes. Fully rehydrate to loosen the Mask with your fingertips, then remove gently with a warm cloth.

For targeted, stubborn hyperpigmentation, Brighten Mask can be applied directly to areas of discoloration as a daily focused spot treatment. Pair with Brighten Compound post-masking to support brightening activity and follow with Sun Serum to complete the nutrition and repair cycle.

RITUAL
Using a whole-plant powdered mask like ours is a unique experience. Apply before a warm bath or shower so the steam can effortlessly keep the mask hydrated and activated while the body unwinds. As the freshly activated botanicals rest on the skin, the experience is best described as a deep infusion of nourishment. The ritual naturally invites you to pause and receive on a level we rarely allow ourselves. Be still. Let the vibrant nutrients flood your skin with replenishment. The scent of fresh herbs and earthy roots calms and grounds the mind. And when you’re ready to remove, the Mask rinses away easily down the drain.

Use within 12 months of opening and by the recommended use-by date, which is found on the bottom of the jar. Store this product in a cool, dry, and dark place. Keep contents of jar dry and free from moisture.

100% Whole Plant Organic

CAMU CAMU
Our organically cultivated Camu Camu is one of the richest whole-plant sources of vitamin C in the world. In its intact form, it retains its natural cofactors and bioflavonoids that support the effectiveness of ascorbic acid. Traditionally used to encourage brighter, firmer-looking skin, it helps support collagen integrity and the appearance of even tone and elasticity.

ROSEHIP FRUIT
Rosehip fruit contains a unique spectrum of vitamins C, E, and A, making it ideal for brightening and gentle resurfacing. Long studied for its role in supporting connective tissue, it helps reduce the look of scars and fine lines while encouraging smoother, more resilient skin.

FRANKINCENSE
Our certified organic Frankincense is distilled in Vermont by a family that travels annually to Somalia for harvest. Revered for centuries for revitalizing the skin, it helps support cellular resilience and overall skin vitality.

CARROT SEED
This aromatic oil is traditionally used to help defend and repair oxidative damage from environmental stressors. It supports the appearance of even tone and elasticity, making it a valuable ally in brightening formulas.

GOTU KOLA
A renowned connective tissue herb, Gotu Kola supports the appearance of firm, resilient skin by helping maintain healthy collagen structure. Grown exclusively for us by a nearby farm, it remains essential in any of our formulas designed to support vibrant aging.

Ëšorganically grown ingredient

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 Brighten Mask apart:

  • Exclusive use of 100% organic, biodynamic, and regeneratively grown plants
  • No pre-milled plants, milled in-house to ensure antioxidant bioavailability
  • No emulsified base – raw, nutrient-dense powder prioritizes skin health over commercial standard
  • No lab-made, synthetic isolates, bioidenticals, or biomimetics – only whole plants
  • Microdosed 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.

    Whole Plant Vitamin C
    We are the first and only brand in the green beauty space to utilize whole plant herbalism – meaning we do not rely on isolated, lab-created compounds. Instead, we work with fresh plants in their whole, intact form, where nutrients exist synergistically alongside their natural cofactors and supportive compounds.

    Plants do not deliver single, isolated vitamins. They contain complex networks of antioxidants, flavonoids, enzymes, and trace nutrients working together in relationship.

    Brighten Mask offers a clear example: ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and flavonoids. In nature, flavonoids always accompany ascorbic acid. They help stabilize it, support its antioxidant activity, and assist in its cellular delivery. When present together, the plant’s chemistry is already balanced and intelligently structured.

    Brighten Mask is our most vitamin C–rich formula, second only to Radiance Compound. Each plant was selected with precision to brighten, support collagen structure, and encourage visible clarity.

    In nature, antioxidant compounds are never separated. That relationship is intentional. They work together on various types of free radicals, keeping each other stable and viable. For us, it makes little sense to extract one molecule and discard the rest when the whole plant already provides a complete, synergistic remedy. Nature has already created what a laboratory never could.
