Why It’s Special

Deeply nourishing

This daily cream delivers a dose of skin nutrients, with antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and E, and essential fatty acids like omega 3, 6, 7, and 9 oils. Whether you use it day or night (or both), your skin will thank you.

Absorbs on contact

Golden Hour is the Goldilocks of moisturizing creams—not too heavy, not too light. Its fast-absorbing water-based formula hydrates deeply, leaving no greasy residue behind, just oh-so-soft skin.

Gentle on all skin

We let clean actives do what they do best without adding unnecessary chemicals or unnatural scents. The result is a gentle formula that evens skin tone and soothes eczema-prone skin.

Eases fine lines

Ingredients like Calendula, Sea Buckthorn, and Black Currant help skin retain moisture, firmness, and elasticity, supporting a naturally smooth, lively look for well-loved skin.

Refreshingly Different

Nothing to hide here. Just naturally awesome ingredients that help you achieve your healthiest, happiest skin.

  • Massage a dime-sized dab into clean skin, after applying any serums. Use AM or PM—or whenever your skin is in need of a little extra TLC.

    Q: Is Golden Hour Recovery Cream the moisturizer for me?
    A: We’ve found Golden Hour Recovery Cream to be a great fit for all ages and skin types. Golden Hour has a midweight texture, and works wonders as a replenishing daily moisturizer, or as a recovery cream for skin that’s been out in the elements.  

    Those with particularly dry, sensitive, or mature skin may also enjoy our thicker Alpine Rich Cream for extra hydration and barrier support.

    If you have oily to combination skin, or your skin simply craves a lighter touch, Fortifying Gel Moisturizer is another great option. 


    Q: How and when do I use this product? 
    A: Thanks to a water-based formula that absorbs quickly without a trace of heaviness or greasy residue, Golden Hour might quickly become your new favorite moisturizer. Use it as a daily moisturizer after cleansing and toning (or any serums you might use), as a luxurious night cream, or anytime your skin needs extra TLC.


    Don’t forget to pair Golden Hour with SPF protection (we’re partial to our Force Field SPF 30) before heading outdoors.


    Q: Can I use Golden Hour around the eye area? 
    A: Of course! Golden Hour is completely safe for use around the delicate eye area and highly effective for moisturizing this region of the skin. You may also be interested in our eye-specific Forest Alchemy Eye Cream—which works to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, ease up dark circles, de-puff, and hydrate.


    Q: How do I recycle this product?
    A: When you run out, just give the glass jar a rinse and recycle it at home. The lid is not widely recyclable at this time.


    Q: What is the aroma? 
    A: A mild blend of sweet neroli, sour rose, and spicy sandalwood.

      Refreshing cream!

      This face cream is definitely one I will be repurchasing time and time again. A little goes a long way and the jar is generous compared to most other face creams available. It is easily absorbed and not at all greasy. I LOVE that it’s primary ingredients are natural. I’m very pleased with my purchase!

      The best

      Amazing! Makes my skin so soft, and it feels so light. I combine it with the mineral scrub and it feels like I’ve had a facial everyday.

      You have to use it regularly: every other night is sufficient. And it really works beautifully.
