Description
A modern take on an ancient formulation of saffron and goat's milk, Saffron Milk Night Cream is a luxurious, gently exfoliating night cream especially targeted towards those with hyperpigmentation, scarring, and dry skin. Infused in this cream is jasmine wax, the waxy byproduct of jasmine essential oil extraction. It is deeply moisturising and tonifying, and smells just as rich as pure jasmine essential oil. Floral waxes such as jasmine wax contain more botanical compounds than the essential oil alone, adding to the restorative effects of this night cream. Saffron is so antioxidant that it is often used in skin preparations to prevent skin cancer; it protects skin from everyday irritants and UV rays, and combats hyperpigmentation.
We use oils of evening primrose and rose hip to prepare the base of this cream, along with vegetable glycerine. This creates a deeply nourishing base of nutritive skin oils to transport the active compounds in saffron and goat's milk across the skin barrier.
How to use
How: Use a small amount on the face, paying particular attention to the skin around the eyes and lips, and any other places prone to hyperpigmentation.
When: Best used as a night cream, allowing the benefits of the botanical compounds to penetrate the skin throughout the night.
Pro tip: Use as a standalone facial cream at night. Do not apply any serums before or after using Saffron Milk Night Cream. This allows the goat's milk to gently exfoliate the skin while jasmine wax and saffron penetrate the skin overnight.

The Science Behind The Formula
SAFFRON
Saffron has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years as a treatment for a variety of skin issues. It is depigmenting, antioxidant, and antimicrobial. It is dermoprotective, protecting the skin from damage caused by sunlight, and helps reduce pigmentation, especially dark spots and scars caused by chronic skin conditions.
GOATS MILK
Naturally high in lactic acid, goat's milk is gently exfoliating, helping to cleanse the skin as it is being moisturised. It gives Saffron Milk Night Cream a creamy texture that leaves the skin feeling hydrated, supple, and soft. Saffron and goats milk are used traditionally together in Ayurvedic medicine for the treatment of hyperpigmentation.
JASMINE WAX
Jasmine wax is a natural byproduct of essential oil extraction of the jasmine flower. It has a hard, waxy texture that we melt and blend into this cream to increase the luxurious, thick texture of this night cream. It is another ancient flower used to tonify the skin, beautify it, and especially in the case of floral wax, to impart more of the botanical compounds than can be found in the essential oil alone. It retains the same beautiful aroma of jasmine absolute essential oil.
EVENING PRIMROSE
Evening primrose (along with rosehip) oil forms the oily base of this cream that carries the benefits of saffron, goats milk, and jasmine wax to the deeper layers of the skin. It improves skin elasticity and firmness, and prevents the skin from becoming rough and flaky. It strengthens the epidermal layer and prevents water loss through the skin, keeping it hydrated and restoring the skin barrier.
WHat saffron milk night cream is
Saffron Milk Night Cream is a heavyweight facial cream made with the ancient Ayurvedic combination of saffron and goat's milk. It is packed with the botanical benefits of saffron, evening primrose, rose hip, and jasmine. Saffron Milk Night Cream combats hyperpigmentation and skin imperfections, is gently exfoliating, and tonifies the skin, giving complexion a shiny radiance.
what saffron milk night cream is good for
Saffron Milk Night Cream is good for those who experience skin hyperpigmentation or dark spots, as well as those with scarring associated with chronic skin issues. It is a deeply hydrating cream, making it great for dry skin, skin that has lost its elasticity, and skin prone to flakiness. Saffron Milk Night Cream is made with jasmine wax, so it is good for those whose skin has lost its tone and bounce, restoring vibrance to the complexion.
PRESERVATIVE FREE, SYNTHETIC FREE
Saffron Milk Night Cream is made with goats milk, plant extracts, emulsifiers of plant origin, and is preservative free. We use an Australia Certified Organic preservative made from vegetable extracts, allowing us to label this product preservative free. It is labelled on our products as parfum, the legally correct way of labelling this ingredient, but it is sold under the trade name "Naticide". Saffron Milk Night Cream is perfumed exclusively with essential oils, and therefore contains no synthetic fragrances or colours. Saffron Milk Night Cream has a natural light yellow colour due to the saffron extract included in the formula.
Synthetics, including preservatives, can damage the integrity of the skin barrier and exacerbate skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. This is because they disrupt the skin’s natural biome. Saffron Milk Night Cream is made entirely out of ingredients with a natural origin, including ingredients in their whole form, such as a whole plant extract of saffron.
No synthetic fragrances are used in Saffron Milk Night Cream. Synthetic fragrances are known to contain harmful chemicals that disrupt endocrine function. This is why Medera products are only ever perfumed with natural essential oils, resins, and gums. We do not attempt to mask the smell of plants with perfume. Instead, we work with the natural aromas of the oils and extracts we use, mixing essential oils to capture beautiful scents without compromising your health.
Saffron Milk Night Cream gets its aromas from saffron extract, jasmine wax, and essential oils of jasmine, rose, lavender, mandarin, geranium, orange, and frankincense.
