Ayurveda has praised saffron, or Kesar, for hundreds of years as a rasayana, or revitalizing herb, that is good for the body and mind. Saffron, which is called “Kumkuma” in ancient literature, is highly valued for its ability to improve skin tone, texture, and youthfulness.
We use this old knowledge in our HerbOcean Soundarya Tailam and HerbOcean Soundarya Cream, which are also modern products. Together, they offer a complete way to restore and brighten skin.

🌿 What is it about saffron (kesar) that makes it so special in Ayurveda?
The Charaka Samhita and other Ayurvedic literature call saffron a varnya dravya, which means it improves the color of the skin. It has a unique mix of crocin, safranal, and antioxidants that makes it great for skin care.
Saffron has several traditional Ayurvedic benefits for the skin, such as: • Improving skin tone and clarity • Reducing hyperpigmentation and blemishes • Acting as a natural anti-aging agent • Soothing inflammation and acne • Promoting circulation and a natural shine
