What does saffron do in skincare?

Saffron has been part of Indian skincare for centuries, prized for radiance and for its antioxidants, crocin and safranal. In this cream it appears twice: as a stem cell extract and as the flower itself.

What makes it a limited edition?

Saffron stem cell extract is costly and supply is limited. This edition also adds bakuchiol, a gentle alternative to retinol; the fast-acting neuropeptide acetyl hexapeptide-8; pink microalgae; cell-energizing alpine willowherb; and a chelating agent that keeps the colour stable. We make it in small batches every three to four months to keep it fresh.

Day cream or night cream?

Both, morning and evening. By day, apply Triple Defense Facial Day Lotion on top before makeup.

Can I use it with the Beyond Complex C serum?

Yes. For best results, apply the serum as step 2 and this cream as step 3. If your skin is very dry, sun-damaged or deeply wrinkled, use both morning and evening.

Is it too rich for combination skin?

It is built for dry, dehydrated, mature and wrinkled skin. On combination skin, use it on the drier areas and Moisture Infusion or Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum on oilier areas.

Can I use it during pregnancy?

It contains retinol. If you are pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, check with your doctor first.

Is it vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes. Hylunia is preservative-free, so we use no animal, bird, fish or human-derived ingredients. It is plant-based, certified vegan and cruelty-free. No parabens, synthetic fragrance, artificial colors or dyes. Made in small batches in the USA.

Saffron. The most precious spice on earth, now in your anti-aging cream.

The most generous formula we make. Saffron, lotus and grape stem cells, four forms of vitamin C, two collagen-supporting peptides, bakuchiol and retinol, in a rich crème built for skin that wants everything at once.

It takes around 150 flowers to produce a single gram of saffron, each stigma picked by hand at dawn. In India it has been treasured for centuries, in cooking, in ritual and in skincare. We have wanted to build a formula around it for years.

week for the first fortnight, then every other night, then nightly if your skin stays comfortable.
