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.

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

Massage a dime-sized dab into clean, dry skin after applying any toners or serums. Use AM and PM.

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: What is the aroma? 
A: A mild herbaceous blend with notes of sweet Neroli, sour Rose and spicy Sandalwood.

    Loving my face!

    I started using Golden hour recovery cream about a year ago. I deal with a lot of dark spots and uneven coloration. And recently when I was looking in the mirror, I realized that my spots have lightened so much that you can barely see them. I wasn't paying attention, but now I realize it's the face cream. I don't wear make up cause my skin is always glowing. I'm 66 and my skin looks like I'm younger thank you for this wonderful cream. I will pass it on to my daughters so by the time they're my age, they'll be looking in their 20s ha ha

    Great Product

    I've been using this each morning and night. It's a really great product. My skin feels fresh and moisturized. However, as a guy I don't really like the scent.

    John, thank you so much for the honest 5-star review! 💛 We totally get that the scent might not be everyone's cup of tea, and we really appreciate your feedback on that. It's awesome that the results are speaking for themselves though! Here's to your continued healthy skin routine! ✨

    Excellent cram for face and anywhere else

    I also put this on the backs of my hands. Love the weight of it, love the very subtle clean scent. It’s my second time buying it. A little goes a long way.
