The Next Layer in Our Skincare Ritual: Introducing Facial Serums
At Meadowlark Made, we don’t create products just to fill space on a shelf. Each addition to our line comes slowly, intentionally, and only when it truly adds something meaningful to your skincare ritual.
Over the past seasons, we’ve been thoughtfully building skincare sets rooted in nourishment, balance, and simplicity. Our facial balms have become a cornerstone — deeply supportive, barrier-loving, and rich in whole, farm-sourced ingredients.
Facial serums are the next piece of that story.
Not a replacement or a trend.
But a complementary layer — designed to support the skin in a different way.
What Is a Facial Serum, and Why Use One?
If balms are about deep nourishment and protection, serums are about lightweight delivery and targeted support.
Our facial serums are oil-based, fast-absorbing blends created to:
Deliver concentrated botanical actives
Support skin function without heaviness
Layer beautifully under your facial balm
Think of serums as preparing and supporting the skin, while balms seal, protect, and restore.
Used together, they create a complete, intentional ritual.
First Light: A Morning Support Layer
First Light was created for the beginning of the day — when skin needs hydration support, a boost of antioxidants, and a sense of awakening without feeling weighed down.
Lightweight oils like meadowfoam, squalene, jojoba, and prickly pear absorb quickly, helping support hydration and resilience. Sea buckthorn CO2 and coenzyme Q10 offer antioxidant protection, while frankincense and carrot seed essential oils bring a subtle, grounding clarity to your morning routine.
This is a supportive layer that sits comfortably under makeup, sunscreen, or a facial balm as your antioxidant and brightening daily defender.
Use First Light in the morning for:
A brighter, more even-looking complexion
Lightweight moisture that doesn’t clog or overwhelm
A mindful, grounding start to your day

Moonlit Rest: Evening Repair & Calm
Moonlit Rest was crafted for night — when the skin naturally shifts into repair mode.
This serum blends jojoba, squalene, plum kernel oil, bakuchiol, and rosehip CO2 to support overnight renewal while remaining gentle and non-irritating. Blue tansy and chamomile help calm redness and sensitivity, turning your evening skincare into a quiet ritual rather than another task.
Moonlit Rest is especially lovely under a facial balm or night moisturizer, allowing the serum to deliver targeted actives while the balm seals everything in.
Use Moonlit Rest for:
Support for sensitive, reactive, or tired skin
A non-irritating alternative to harsher anti-aging treatments
A calming end-of-day skincare ritual for skin nourishment

How Serums and Balms Work Together
Our approach to skincare has always been about supporting the skin, not overwhelming it.
Serums: lightweight, fast-absorbing, targeted support
Facial Balms: deeply nourishing, barrier-supporting, protective
You can use:
A serum alone when skin feels balanced
A balm alone when skin feels dry or compromised
Both together when your skin needs layered support
There’s no rigid routine, only options that honor your skin’s needs in different seasons and moments.
Crafted With the Same Care You Trust
Like everything we make, our facial serums are:
Handcrafted in small batches on our Iowa family farm.
Made with thoughtfully sourced botanical oils and extracts.
Free from synthetic fragrance, fillers, and unnecessary additives.
They reflect the same philosophy as our balms, just expressed through a lighter, more targeted format. This is the next piece of our skincare line — designed to fit into your routine, not overwhelm you.
