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

I have rosacea and several chronic illnesses that cause facial flushing. I have tried lasers, red lights, and every cream and serum imaginable. This, in conjunction with red light therapy, is the first thing that has made a visible improvement in my broken capillaries.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Cristin.
We know how frustrating and discouraging persistent redness and visible capillaries can feel, especially when you’ve already tried so many different approaches. Hearing that you’re finally seeing improvement means more to us than we can say.
We’re especially glad you mentioned using it alongside red light therapy. It’s always helpful for others to see how products fit into a broader routine.
We’re truly grateful you gave our Capillary Buster Serum a place in your skincare journey and took the time to share your experience with us.

My sensitive skin with seborrheic dermatitis/eczema issues tolerates this
My sensitive skin with seborrheic dermatitis/eczema issues tolerates this, yippee! You can smell the seaweed when you apply it but I think it dissipates.
Hi Beans!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us
We know how challenging it can be to find something your skin feels comfortable with, especially when dealing with sensitivity such as seborrheic dermatitis or eczema. Hearing that your skin is tolerating the Moisturizing Gel with Pearl Protein makes us smile.
And yes… that natural seaweed note can peek through at first, but we’re glad it settles quickly for you 😊
We’re so grateful you gave it a try and took the time to share your experience.

This is awesome. I use it to remove my mascara and it works perfectly without pulling and pressing to get it off.

New favorite!
I’ve been trying many of the cleansers that GOW makes and I love them all, but I think this is my absolute favorite so far. The texture is absolutely luxurious and I love the smell. It’s really gentle on my sensitive skin yet leaves it feeling clean and soft. Thanks for another great product, GOW!

VISIBLE EFFECTS IN AGING SKIN
This product has made the most difference to fine lines and wrinkles of any one product I use, especially in DEEP FROWN LINES IN LOWER FACE - and I use a lot of serums! It is definitely worth the price - the most I've ever spent on any skincare product. After trying the small-sized bottle, I purchased the 4 oz bottle at regular price and bought another bottle two weeks later during GOW's spring sale!
I’m really loving this hand cream. It’s super luxurious and at the same time not too heavy or thick. It feels greasy at first, which I happen to like because my skin is really dry, but then it absorbs quickly.
