Precious Saffron Oil

Rs. 2,850.00

Love the Precious Saffron Oil, as always with Dearist, we get pure high performance botanical infusions and in this case it's the amazing saffron with its plant powered goodness. It's nourishing, brightening and healing, a must try!

Dr. Varshini Reddy
Dermatologist & Founder of Glow Clinic

I have been using Dearist’s Precious Saffron Oil for the last 4 days. My skin feels great. I'm in Greece, and the weather is quite dry. I used the oil at night. My skin overall feels very clear and even. I use it underneath my makeup base, and it looks and works well. The right amount of hydration, and it doesn't feel very heavy, so it's really, really good.

l used to be obsessed with actives. But when I started using the Dearist Precious Saffron Oil, I completely stopped needing my Vitamin C serum and I have fallen in love with decluttering my skincare routine

The serum / oil [Precious Saffron Oil] is my favourite. Who doesn't want a warm cuddle in the morning.

Nader Wassel
General Manager Gucci India

I turn to Dearist Precious Saffron Oil when I need to rest and repair my skin, especially after travelling or dealing with changes in the weather – where I take a break from my regular skincare routine and simply use the oil along with Dearist Aloe Vera Gel or add a few drops to my face mask for an added boost. The oil smells like saffron gold, and gives such a nourishing glow!

Kshitij Kankaria
Founder - SOAK and DIRTY

A lightweight, quick absorbing and hydrating face oil [Precious Saffron Oil] that works well as an overnight moisturiser for my dry skin. I wear straight after cleansing my face at night. I make sure I spend a few extra minutes to massage it into my face.

Mamta Mody

Ever since Meher introduced me to Dearist, I've been a fan of not just products but also the brand’s ethos. Two of my favourite products are the Aloe Vera Gel and Precious Saffron Oil. They work so well for my sensitive skin and I love how it always leaves my skin feeling calm, soft and supple!

Isha Sutaria

Adding the Precious Saffron Oil is a game changer. It really moisturises my skin. I combine it with my go-to Sea Buckthorn Berry & Calendula Oil and use it on my skin for an extra glow and dewy look. It's magic!

Archana Thani
Jewellery Consultant

I got introduced to oils by Meher, and since then I am an avid user. Initially hesitant due to my oily T-zone, but using Dearist’s Precious Saffron Oil during the day and Sea Buckthorn Berry & Calendula Oil at night, I have noticed a tremendous change in my skin, hydrated throughout the day, and seen reduction in blemishes and marks on the face after a month.

FAQs
Does it leave a thick, sticky residue?

No, it has a lightweight texture without a sticky residue, thanks to 40% saffron oil thinned out with clean ingredients like Caprylic Capric Triglyceride derived from coconut and Heptyl Undecylenate derived from castor. The inclusion of these ingredients facilitates the easy absorption of kumkumadi thailam, maximising its effectiveness.

Does it work for all skin types?

Ideal for normal to dry mature skin. It can also help regulate oil production for some oily or acne-prone skin types. 

Can I use Precious Saffron Oil with actives?

We do not recommend mixing Dearist Precious Saffron Oil with Vitamin C, Retinol, Exfoliating Acids. Use them on alternate days or at different times (e.g., Vitamin C in the morning and Precious Saffron Oil at night, or vice versa with retinol).

It is safe to use with Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide Acid. For Hyaluronic Acid, apply it on damp skin first to attract moisture, followed by Precious Saffron Oil to seal in hydration.For Niacinamide, apply Niacinamide Acid first, then follow with Dearist Precious Saffron Oil. 

How often should I be using the Precious Saffron Oil?

It can be used daily in your skin care routine. We recommend using it in your PM routine over AM routine.  If you are using other active ingredients or skin care products, use Precious Saffron Oil at least twice a week.

Why have you added Caprylic Capric Triglyceride and Heptyl Undecylenate?

By itself, kumkumadi taila can sit on the surface of the skin and feel heavy, especially when the weather is warm and humid. Caprylic Capric Triglyceride and Heptyl Undecylenate are super smooth non-comedogenic (non clogging) ingredients that help lock in moisture while improving absorption and wearability. 

Is Precious Saffron Oil safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

All our products are formulated with ingredients that are safe to use for children, during pregnancy and postpartum. However we always recommended consulting with your healthcare provider and dermatologist. We advise conducting a patch test before widespread use to rule out any potential sensitivities or allergies.

Is this formulation vegan? 

No. Traditionally, kumkumadi thailam is made with goat's milk. This milk contains lactic acid, a gentle exfoliant that helps remove dead skin cells and promote cell renewal. Goat's milk also nourishes the skin, so we’ve kept the formulation as is. However, if you're looking for a vegan alternative for a facial oil, Dearist Sea Buckthorn Berry & Calendula Oil is a great option.

This saffron oil truly works wonders, and I noticed results overnight. I use it by itself in my night routine, and every morning, I wake up with glowing skin. Over time, I've also seen a visible difference in my complexion—my blemishes are fading. Sometimes, I mix it with the seabuck oil, and it's amazing for my acne too. I highly recommend it!
