Pigmentation doesn't take a night shift
Sun is a major reason dark spots deepen and stay. A product you can only use at night leaves your days uncovered.
This one is water-based, so it layers under moisturiser and sunscreen in the morning, and does the same job at night. Sunscreen still does most of the work. This is the step that goes with it.
Classical Kumkumadi, with modern support
The classical herbs
Saffron (Crocus sativus): the namesake, traditionally used for radiance
Manjistha (Rubia cordifolia): traditionally used for even-looking tone
Sandalwood (Santalum album): cooling, traditionally used for tone
Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra): traditionally used for brightness
Vetiver: cooling, and the earthy note you'll smell
Also: lotus, banyan bark, sappan bark, water hyacinth, Terminalia, amla, ginger and goat milk
The modern support
Alpha-arbutin: helps even the look of dark spots
Niacinamide (vitamin B3): supports even tone and the skin barrier
Panthenol, sodium hyaluronate, allantoin, aloe: hydration and comfort
Centella asiatica: calming
Squalene and olive oil: a small amount of skin-like oil for softness
When this isn't the right product
Melasma and deep hormonal pigmentation need a dermatologist. A serum can support that treatment; it won't replace it.
If you react to fragrance, patch test first. This contains essential oils and has a distinct earthy, saffron scent.
If you want a richer, occlusive night treatment, our Kumkumadi Tailam is the classical oil. Some people use the serum in the morning and the oil at night.
