Ideal for skin that craves the comfort of an emollient-based formula, the Saffron Rose Majikal Facial Lotion doesn’t just moisturize—it transforms. It works deep within the skin’s layers to repair and replenish, helping to smooth out fine lines, restore elasticity, and revive your complexion’s natural radiance. Your skin will feel softer, plumper, and more resilient, with a healthy, youthful glow that defies the signs of time.
And for those intrigued by the science behind the Majik, don’t forget to explore our blog for a deep dive into the wonders of ceramides. Discover how these vital lipids are crucial in fortifying your skin’s barrier, locking in moisture, and protecting against environmental stressors. With the Saffron Rose Majikal Facial Lotion, you’re not just treating your skin but investing in its future.
Method of Application Spritz your face with spring or mineral water for moisture. Apply a small, pea-sized dollop to the tip of your index finger and dab around your face and neck. Spritz again and gently pat the lotion on your skin. The moisture from the mineral water will help the product to glide on smoothly without tugging at your skin while also allowing the amount of product needed to a minimum.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it to a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take the oil out, warm it up at room temperature, and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. Some oils, like coconut cream and jojoba oil, have a super long shelf life.
Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs All herbs <i>(whole or ground)</i> should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb, root, trunk, leaf, and flower. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - such as Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc., will all have different shelf lives.

Skin ceramides make up 50% of the lipids in the extracellular "cement" that binds together protective cells in the outermost skin layer, the stratum corneum. The loss of skin ceramides renders aging skin permeable to moisture, leaving skin dry, rough, and itchy; ceramide loss is also a major contributor to wrinkles. Saffron Threads Saffron Essential Oil
If you love roses, the genuine rose scent of this lotion is simply dreamy! On the face this is a light and gentle moisturizer that is agreeable with my rather uncooperative/reactive facial skin. It is rare for me to find a moisturizer that doesn't burn when my skin is actively flaring yet every single product from GOW that I have tried to date has been quite comfortable. My only regret is not finding GOW sooner.
It’s wonderful to hear that you’ve found a lotion that works so well for your skin! The genuine rose scent must make using it feel like a little spa experience every day. It’s always a relief to find products that provide comfort without irritation, especially during flare-ups. Here’s to enjoying your skincare journey with GOW!

The best!
I love this lotion. I have extremely sensitive acne prone skin with type 2 rosacea that HATES occlusives and most emollients. Most moisturizers are too thick for my skin and I ends up with breakouts or closed comedones. I've gone through multiple jars of this without any issues. On top of that it seems good and hasn't irritated my skin. I have normal-combo skin that's prone to dehydration and I like adding a few drops of a hydrator like 24 Hour Moisture Serum or Super Hydrating Gel underneath.
Thank you so much for this review! :)

Fabulous lotion
I bought this lotion as a sample and had to buy a bigger jar. I have sensitive, dermatitis prone skin and am always very cautious about trying new products. This one is very light and has ingredients that make my skin happy. It isn’t enough moisture for the winter months on it’s own, so I add in an oil based serum I made for my skin. It also smells great and the scent doesn’t linger and feel overwhelming. I will be coming back for this one time and time again!
Thank you so much for reviewing this!

Beautiful Lotion
I really love this lotion. It has a nice, light texture that absorbs easily into skin. It seems perfect for summer heat but I've been using it during the cold months as the final layer, after hydrosol and an oil blend.
We are super pleased to hear you love this lotion so much! Thank you for writing this!

Nice lotion, but need something more hydrating
I really love the texture of the cream and I really want to love it. I have so much trouble finding creams that don't irritate my very dry sensitive rosacea fungal acne skin.
I am going to keep trying it because all the ingredients seems like they should be okay for my skin, and maybe it will be perfect for the summer but for now I don't find it hydrating enough and it slightly itches my cheeks. This said I am determined to continue trying it and so far I have been loving applying it around my eye area over the cucumber gel eye cream. I do think the cream would be amazing for someone with sensitive combination skin during the winter months.
Thank you for your kind review. If you have any hyaluronic acid serum you can put a few drops in the palm of your hand with a dollop of the Saffron Rose Cream and a few drops of a rich oil would be awesome. Emulsify with your fingers and pat into moist skin. This can really make a huge difference when a cream doesn't feel hydrating enough. Keep us updated if you can. ~Markey

Thank you so much, Catherine! 🌸Hearing that your skin has improved so dramatically is fantastic to hear!
We love that the Manuka Honey HA Serum has become the essential first layer in your routine, especially alongside your other GoW favorites!

It's really hard to find a fungal acne-safe body lotion! This lotion is light, and it's not instantly transformative, but over the past month or so I think it has helped the dry patches on my elbows and knees. I wish it was a tad richer, but I don't know if that's possible while also keeping it FA-safe. So I'll probably keep it in my routine!
Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review, Caroline! -`♡´- We’re glad you’re beginning to see improvement in those stubborn dry areas. We also truly appreciate your feedback about wanting a little more richness while keeping the formula fungal acne-friendly. That balance can be tricky, but your input is incredibly helpful to us!

Absolute best thing for my white dry flyaway hair. 1/2 tsp MCT Oil heated with 1/4 tsp Cetyl Alcohol in a baby food jar in water in a leg wax warmer. When melted I add 1 tsp Distilled Water. I let cool in the warmer & apply to hair.
Hi Laura ♡♡♡
This is so interesting and clever! We love hearing how our customers put their ingredients to work! Knowing the Cetyl Alcohol has been the answer for smoothing and softening your dry, flyaway hair is inspiring. Keep up with the great ideas. Since your mixture contains water, we recommend making only a tiny amount at a time and using it fresh.

This is my all time favorite body oil. Feels very luxurious.
Thank you so much! Our Bakuchiol Body Bliss Body Oil ... “Luxurious” is exactly how we want your skin to feel. We’re thrilled it has become such a favorite!

this seems like a very good product, but may be wrong for my skin type. i have rosacea and eczema, and mostly oily skin. i was hoping to find a product that would improve my heavily congested nose and chin without making all the red patches on my cheeks and eye area worse. i tried the product as both a toner and a facial spray, but found it slowly dried out my cheeks and made them redder. so now am am just applying only to my nose and cheeks, and it seems to be helping now, in conjunction with the oat serum. the product has the consistency of a typical toner, and it is scentless. it does not sting or burn when sprayed on, even in the eye area. it feels neither drying nor hydrating, and does not leave you looking greasy.
Hi Donna ♡
Thank you for sharing your experience with our Wild Black Cherry Bark Hydrosol. I'm glad to hear it's helping when used selectively.
We appreciate your detailed feedback and hope it continues to support your skin needs.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further assistance!
Thought: you could add about 2-3% glycerin to amp up the hydration.

Good for emerging blemishes
I like this stuff! My blemishes are usually just tiny irritated white heads or bumps with nothing in them. If I put this on at night, things are much calmer in the morning. It even seems to have a minimizing effect on the few deep painful cystic guys I get, so they end up fading away rather than coming to the surface full of rage. And so far I haven't had any irritation (and I have very sensitive skin). I put this on after my last oil stage, after things have dried down a bit. I feel like that works best since I use it as a spot treatment, and putting it on under other stuff seems like it would just spread it around.

This is the best one!
This is the best one! My skin is sensitive to unusual things and the leucidal hyaluronic acid serums don't give me any issue. I prefer the honey to the regular because it helps my acne. I had to order the regular/pure HA serum last time and I definitely noticed breakouts lasting longer. Honey comb is the way to go!

Gentle non irritating niacinimide serum
Gentle, non irritating niacinimide serum. Another wonderful light and layerable product from GoW. I like how this serum plays well with my other products and it’s not sticky. This has been very helpful for my stepson’s oily teenage skin as well. Thank you!
