The Twentynine Palms Book Festival returns November 13-15 2025
Native to the deserts of the Southwest, chaparral has been a hero ingredient in both modern and ancient self care. Also referred to as creosote, this bush is a warrior plant that survives scorching summer highs and wintery spells alike, thriving amidst rocky, rough terrain. Rich in polyphenols, and with strong adaptive and antioxidant properties, chaparral has been used as a topical sun protectant and natural resilience booster for thousands of years. With an herbal, earthy scent and non greasy yet luxuriously protective texture, it acts like a buffer between your skin and the environment and helps your skin adapt to it whether you’re in the desert, city or by the ocean. Fortified with desert adaptive rosemary, calendula, lemon balm, rose and lavender, it doesn’t leave residue and pairs well with cream, oil or foundation alike.
The blend of hydrosols and nourishing oils in the Chaparral Protective Mist is excellent for quenching even the driest, most parched skin. Organic Chaparral Protective Mist is reminiscent of desert summer showers; a refreshing component in any skincare routine.
HERO INGREDIENTS: Rose | Lemon Balm | Calendula | Rosemary Leaf
