SERUM OF THE MONTH {PRE-ORDER}

Welcome to the Serum of the Month!

Every month, we create an exclusive facial serum available only by pre-order and subscription!* These unique and creative combinations are specially formulated to correspond with each month since our skin's needs can change throughout the year. Formulated and handcrafted by Irene (Fawn Lily Botanica's owner + maker). This is a perfect (and fun!) way to try new ingredients, new formulas, and conveniently receive a new serum which was custom-made for the season at your doorstep! These limited release products are only available by pre-order. Pre-orders close on the 10th of each month, then will be made fresh and shipped the following week.

Pre-orders are now open for April's Serum of the Month! Infused with organic saffron, turmeric, ginseng leaf, yerba mate, and marshmallow root, blended with a medley of incredible oils including pumpkin, safflower, chia, olive, and buriti, and scented with vanilla, turmeric, cananga flower, and ylang ylang essential oils, this is such a fun and unique formula! It's truly unlike anything else available on the market and so incredibly beneficial for the skin. 

The scent of this blend is earthy and creamy from the turmeric root, with sweet and exotic notes from vanilla bean, cananga flowers, and ylang ylang flowers. If you've ever had a turmeric + honey latte, then this blend may be reminiscent of that yumminess!

This is a lighter weight facial oil than our winter blends, soaks in quickly and effortlessly, and leaves skin feeling silky-smooth, nourished, and protected. It has a non-comodegenic base (meaning that it can be used by all skin types without clogging pores) which is important during the transition into springtime, especially if you live in a region with substantial shifts in the weather from season to season.

During seasonal transitions, we'll often notice imbalances with our skin and even acne breakouts as our skin reacts to and adapts to changes in temperature and humidity. The warmer weather and higher humidity in spring can cause skin to produce more oil and sweat which can clog pores. During this seasonal transition, I like to use lighter oils which absorb into the skin easily, then follow up with a facial balm or cream if skin needs an extra layer of moisture and protection. This is because the products that we relied upon throughout the autumn and winter months may be too thick and heavy once the weather warms and there is more moisture in the air. This is the perfect time to update our skin care regimes accordingly so that skin can stay healthy and balanced.

The full ingredient list for this serum is: organic Safflower oil infused with organic Saffron threads, organic Turmeric root, organic Yerba Mate, organic North American Forest Grown Ginseng leaf, and organic Marshmallow root, organic Pumpkin seed oil, organic Olive oil, organic Chia seed oil, Buriti oil, Vitamin E Oil (non-GMO), organic Rosemary antioxidant, Vanilla botanical extract oil, Cananga flower essential oil, Turmeric essential oil, and organic Ylang Ylang essential oil.
