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 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, formulas, and receive a serum custom-made for this season at your doorstep. Pre-orders close on the 10th of each month, then are made fresh and shipped the following week.

February's special serum will be a luxurious and decadent blend featuring three of everyone's favorite ingredients: cacao, rose, and vanilla!

We won't be using the synthetic fragrances of chocolate, roses, and vanilla that you see in most products... we're using real Bulgarian rose absolute, cacao, and vanilla beans! These exquisite aromas will be nestled within a blend of luscious botanical oils including kukui nut oil, cherry kernel oil, pomegranate seed oil, passion fruit seed oil, marula oil, and shea nut oil.

This blend feels silky, nourishing, and soaks into skin effortlessly, leaving skin feeling incredibly soft and smooth. This formula is really incredible, not only for the intoxicating aroma, but also because it is so amazing for the skin.

Curious why most products contain fragrance oils of cocoa, vanilla, and rose instead of the real deal? It's because these are three of the most expensive ingredients to source and can also be difficult to formulate with. Their synthetic alternatives are readily available, inexpensive, simple to use, and very strongly scented. For example. did you know that it takes 60 roses (5 dozen roses!) to make a single drop of rose essential oil? That's why it's so costly to purchase true rose oil, and why most rose-scented products contain synthetic fragrances!

The essential oils of these plants are more delicately scented than synthetics, so expect a light and natural aroma from this facial serum with subtle and lovely notes of chocolate, roses, and vanilla - it will not be a strong "in your face" scent because we're utilizing real and natural ingredients instead of synthetic fragrances.

Here's more information about all of the incredible ingredients in this limited-edition facial serum:

Kukui Nut Oil: From Hawaii, kukui nut oil has traditionally been used to protect skin from the sun, salt, and harsh weather. This amazing and lightweight oil strengthens cellular skin bonds and creates a semi-permeable barrier which nourishes, protects, helps with premature aging, and has anti-inflammatory properties. High in essential fatty acids, vitamins A, C, and E.

Cherry Kernel Oil (organic): Belonging to the rose family, this incredible oil is pressed from cherry pits. It moisturizes and protects the skin, softens and nourishes skin cells, and naturally helps minimize the absorption of UV rays. This oil has therapeutic and protective properties, contains Vitamin A, E, antioxidants, omega-6 and 9, tocopherols, and contains many other skin-loving properties.

It softens, smooths, helps improve the complexion, protects and nourishes skin cells, and is rich in antioxidants, vitamins C and E, and oleic acid.

..........................

How to use:  First, wash and dry your face with water or a gentle facial wash. Mist with 1-3 spritzes of facial toner and allow to air dry or gently pat dry. Finish by applying 1-2 pumps of facial serum.  Allow to absorb completely into skin before applying makeup or sunscreen. Use twice per day (morning/night) for best results.

If you are interested, but don't want to commit to a pre-order or subscription, please note that if we have any extra bottles after filling pre-orders, then they will be available on our website afterwards at a higher price.

To extend the shelf life, store in a dry, cool, and dark area. Direct light and heat will reduce the effectiveness and shelf life of the product.

Note: Some of the oils used in or formulas are very rich in fatty acids, and will naturally solidify in cold conditions. This is perfectly normal for these oils, and will not impact their quality or usage. If you wish to remove any solidified fats in your oil, the best way to do this is to place the entire bottle in a double boiler over low heat and allow the oil to slowly heat up. Once warm, any solidified particles will remelt.

Love, love, love the monthly serums! I look forward to them each month. My skin has been thoroughly happy. I alternate with them and the bakuchiol serum which I’ve seen unbelievable results with!

Believe the hype

I've been using Fawn Lily's serums ever since she started selling them on Etsy, ages ago. They are all fantastic, my serum of the month subscription is something I will never give up, but never has one made my skin feel as silken soft as a just boiled gnocchi. There is no other word to describe it. I'm in my mid-50s and I think this stuff is too good to be true. Just wow.

Heather, Wow! Thank you so much for writing this beautiful and helpful review for our Serum of the Month and new Bakuchiol Botanical Facial Serum! We especially love your description 'silken soft as a just boiled gnocchi' - so true and such a brilliant description! We're thrilled to hear how well this serum it's working on your skin and how much you're enjoying all of the Serums of the Month. The seasonal serums are such a joy to formulate and create, and we're so glad to know that you enjoy using them. Thank you so much for all of your support over the years, we truly appreciate you! - Irene, Fawn Lily Botanica

Love Serum of the Month!

This was my first time using the "serum of the month" and I'm in love. I'm pretty married to my routines and have used the facial toner and oil for several years. As much as I love them, I'm more in love with this past month's serum. It provides a creamy feeling along with a light scent that makes my skin glow. Now I'm not sure if I'll go back to the oil or not. Thanks for making such wonderful products that I'm willing to break out of my box to try.
