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.

    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 blend of sweet neroli, sour rose, and spicy sandalwood.

      I took a chance on Golden Hour Recovery cream

      Hi, I’m a 74 year old woman whose skin has undergone tremendous changes in the last three years. Well put it in the medical category. And I’ve recovered and healed , gained strength and put weight back on. I was very aware of the changes and wondered what, if any thing I should do about it. I wasn’t “that concerned” about it, instead I was really overjoyed to be doing so well. As I recovered I spent more time on my phone and browsing places I usually don’t spend time with. When I saw these Ads for Ursa Major and listened to the women who used the Golden Hour Recovery Cream I really listened to them. Whether they were models or not, I wanted to give this product a try.

      My personal reaction is that my face and neck feel ‘nourished.’ Lightweight cream, easily absorbed, and day after day my skin transformed into soft and healthy looking skin. I’m a fan! I will purchase this product as long as Ursa Major supplies it. And I trust they will continue to provide it for years and years. Thanks so much !!
