Fresh Complexion Clarifying Elixir
Last Batch! We are saying goodbye to this very well loved blend to make room for our other formulations.
Current Best By: 10/31/2027
A serum in a refreshing mist that targets pores to limit build-up with the help of herbal allies like meadowsweet, willow bark, and witch hazel. Emollient roots and aloe infuse hydration and soothe irritation. While licorice brightens and green tea protects against oxidative damage. This whole-plant formula increases circulation to help break up stagnation to revive and clarify the skin.
The beneficial herbal extracts are housed in an uplifting hydrosol medley of spearmint & lemon thyme.
Includes our Botanical Enrichment Method with advanced, potent extractions and encapsulation for optimal bioavailability & efficacy.
Scent: A fresh bundle of herbs and a hint of earthy roots. Contains distilled plant waters from hydrosols of spearmint & lemon thyme. No added essential oils.
Skin Types: Breakout-prone, dehydrated skin that has excess to adequate oil production. Suitable for most, including mildly sensitive.
Texture: Mid-weight mist that leaves a noticeable layer of humectants that will absorb slowly as part of the liposomal formulation. Applying follow-up steps like a moisturizer and/or oil will increase absorption time. Due to the rich polysaccharides & phospholipids, you may notice some separation, a gentle shake will disperse the formula evenly.
Elevated Formula - Now with Spearmint, Lemon Thyme & Witch Hazel hydrosols. Improved bio-availability with liposomal botanical extracts and added Green Tea.

Botanical Profile
expand_more
We start with a base of local, small farm-produced hydrosols that are distilled in copper vessels using fresh plant material. This captures all the volatiles including the cellular water from the living plant. We feel this vibrant approach creates the most effective antioxidant profile.
Fresh lemon thyme hydrosol is a calming decongestant. Increases circulation to help break up stagnation to clarify the skin.
Fresh spearmint hydrosol, a more gentle approach vs. the essential oil that cools the skin and is an effective antimicrobial to lessen or prevent breakouts.
Fresh witch hazel hydrosol is free of alcohol which is common in commercial witch hazel. As a light distillation, it offers a very gentle approach to help cleanse the pores and balance oil production without impacting the lipid barrier.
A house-infused medley of meadowsweet, willow bark, licorice, burdock, and green tea liposomal extract softens the skin, infuses hydration, protects against oxidative damage, and clears congestion.
Ritual

After cleansing, shake well and spray a few times onto the skin, taking deep breaths. Careful not to get any into your eyes. While the skin is still wet apply serum and face oil to seal in hydration.
For dry patches, add the toner to a soft cloth and gently massage to exfoliate. It can be used to set mineral makeup or any time of day to refresh the skin.

I love the faint smell of spearmint when I spray it on. We've had extra warm weather here and I feel a nice pick me up after I use it. Thank you, Live Botanical, for your choices in these wonderful ingredients.
Great for my oily/combination skin. So refreshing and adding the Temperate Forest on top brings out even more of the fresh herbal notes.
I could spray this on all day. So soothing and refreshing. Love how it helps the balms and oil blend into skin and help them absorb better than they already do. Will use these products from now on.
I use this alternating with the Rose & Rama Tulsi Radiance Elixir. Both smell so good and it's great to set makeup and give a dewy look, or to just get a little fresh moisture pick me up throughout the day.
Refreshing, with a kind of earthy fragrance. Very gentle.
