Temperate Forest Restoring Complex

(2)
Regular price $58.00

A temperate forest immerses the skin in moisture and quiet resilience in this rich, cooling gel that delivers concentrated hydration while reconditioning the microbiome for clear, comfortable skin. Snow mushroom and sea kelp form a second-skin hydration barrier, while whole plant extracts of licorice, peony, milk thistle, oats, green tea, and echinacea soothe, brighten, and protect against oxidative stress. Probiotic derivatives and prebiotics strengthen the skin’s microbiome, calming reactivity and supporting repair. Enhanced through Live Botanical’s Botanical Enrichment Method for optimal bioavailability, Temperate Forest is grounding, mineral-rich plant medicine that restores balance and vitality to skin shaped by environment and stress.

PLANT ALLIES:

  • Snow Mushroom – creates a breathable hydration barrier that deeply plumps and softens
  • Licorice Root – soothes inflammation while gently brightening and evening tone
  • Sea Kelp – mineral-rich nourishment that supports resilience and microbiome health
