## Laurel Shaffer

Laurel Shaffer is the founder, formulator, plant communicator, loving center, and driving force behind Laurel Skin. She has led a journey filled with education, research, and study that led to her path as a sommelier, and eventually a skin-specific herbalist. Those formal training paths, as well as her experience in farm, spa, and mindful wellness have made it possible for her to live the life of a slow-farmed beauty advocate and creator of farm-based and hyper-localized spa rituals and formulas.

It was a joy and an adventure to experience this process within each of the Miraval Resort locations, seeing each of the unique plants of the Arizona, Austin, and Berkshires regions shine to create potent and powerful topical plant medicine for the skin. The Miraval Collection by Laurel Skin allows you to explore each Miraval region to learn more about these plants and how well they take care of our skin!

## Miraval X Laurel Skin Collection

Our guests know that we feature many of Laurel’s products in our spa treatments, but what many don’t know is that our relationship with her goes much deeper than that.  In addition to working with our spa teams, Laurel has worked with Miraval’s farmers as well as local farms in the Lenox, MA and Austin, TX areas to source ingredients for two products she has created in partnership with Miraval.
