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
Well…first off, I need to confess I did not pay attention and I have been using this on my face. Just a drop but it’s been really great! In the winter my skin is so dry and needs an oil and this is what I had so…I used it. No complaints, it did the job and my skin is really clear and hydrated. I will have to get the face version and use this for my body but I do really like it!
Colleen 😊
I love your 'confession'. It's honest, raw, and appreciated.
We are happy to know this helped to clear, condition, and retain hydration in your skin.
We look forward tohearing what you think about the facial oil.
Thank you,

I’ve never used oil based cleanser before; I was hesitant to try it because I have combination skin
I’ve never used oil based cleanser before; I was hesitant to try it because I have combination skin. My T zone does feel a bit oily when I’m done using this product but before long that diminishes. So for winter weather, this product has been fine - will have to see how it goes once the hot, humid weather returns
Hi there! We're glad to hear that you gave our Blemish Prone Cleansing Oil a chance, even though you were hesitant at first. We understand that combination skin can be tricky to manage, especially with oil-based products. We're happy to hear that the oiliness has diminished after using the product and that it has been fine for you during the winter weather.
We recommend continuing to use it and monitoring its performance during the hot and humid weather.
Thank you for trying our product.
Welcome to the GoW Family ☺️
I’ve tried so many eye creams and serums over the years and nothing has come close to Beautiful Eyes Serum w/Regu-age! The skin around my eyes is extremely sensitive and I’ve had reactions to most products—ranging from burning and irritation to clogged pores and increased milia. This serum has caused zero side effects and is very soothing to my sensitive skin. That alone would have been enough to keep me coming back for more… but the results have been ASTOUNDING!!!
Beautiful Eyes has truly taken years off of my appearance! My eyes look larger than they have in years because the product does such an incredible job tightening the skin on my eyelids! I’ve also seen a DRASTIC reduction in the lines underneath my eyes and my crows feet are nearly non-existent when I’m not smiling. I’m blown away!!
Every time I get complimented on my youthful appearance, I always recommend Garden of Wisdom and this magical serum. Thank you, Markey, for crafting the cleanest, most effective products on the market! I’ll be a customer for life!!!

Oh my goodness. This means more than I (we) can easily put into words.
Thank you for taking the time to share this, and for trusting us with such a sensitive area of your skin. Hearing that your eye area feels calm, comfortable, and supported, especially after so many past reactions, is terrific to hear. And knowing you see fundamental changes makes all of our hearts smile.
This is precisely why we do this work. Carefully. Thoughtfully. With integrity and patience.
Your results, and your confidence, are the reward.
Thank you for your kindness, your loyalty, and for sharing the Garden of Wisdom with others.

As a senior I didn't know what to expect. However, in the last two weeks I have noticed that my deep wrinkles look smoother and fuller. i realize it's important to persevere if one wants to make a change. So I'll continue using it morning and night. Thank you for a quality product!
⋆.˚✮ ✮˚.⋆ for taking the time to share this. Hearing that you’re noticing your skin look smoother and fuller with continued use means a great deal to us.
Skincare changes take patience, and your note about perseverance really resonates. As someone who is almost 70 myself, I understand how important it is to give the skin time and consistency, and to choose products that feel supportive rather than aggressive.
Thank you for your trust and for being part of Garden of Wisdom.

This is the best cream for “mature” skin. I have tried many highly recommended expensive products but this is the only one that actually works, together with a couple of other GOW products as recommended by Jen, to give my skin that “youthful glow” as commented on by my friends. I especially appreciate the natural ingredients with no strange chemicals!
However, as good as this cream is, it is eclipsed by the amazing customer service and suggestions from Jen who tolerated my multiple questions and responded so quickly that I felt as if I was their only customer!
Thank you Jen and GOW for all your help and wonderful products.

Magical for my whole body!
I love using this on my body. It's magical on knees and elbows. Definitely reviving for dry/rough skin and magical for the rest of my body. Hope this gets made into a body lotion.

Banishes redness
Bought this for my husband to treat redness on his face. It's hard to get him to use products. Started with a sample. I worked, so he asked me to order more. He must really like it. Thanks Garden of Wisdom!

Great for clogged pores
This product works well on my sensitive skin. It has helped clear clogged pores on my nose as well as reduce small bumps that frequently appear on my cheeks. I'll keep this one on hand at all times.

Best lotion ever!
This lotion is the best I’ve ever found! Sinks in beautifully, providing moisture to dry, cracked hands and itchy, flaky legs. After many years of searching for the perfect lotion, I’ve found the one! The aroma is subtly beautiful (sea of blue)- love everything about this product :). Thank you Garden of Wisdom!,

This Is THE Lotion
All the things skin is supposed to do, (like holding in hydration and moisture, shedding naturally, and remaining intact to provide a barrier against the elements) my skin doesn't. What it does do, is react to everything (including my own sweat) as an enemy, and block and inflame random pores as revenge upon me for trying to moisturize so the itching doesn't drive me to madness.
This lotion has been genuinely miraculous. At best, others help one problem but cause another. This one interrupts the cycle, and has actually made my skin healthier. To echo another review, please never stop making this.
