Radiant Rani Saffron Brightening Serum
This serum utilizes the highest grade of Kashmiri Saffron, which is clinically proven to improve skin radiance and reduce hyperpigmentation. Unlike competitors that use generic extracts, Ranavat uses a traditional Ayurvedic 'maceration' process to preserve the potency of the spice's crocin and crocetin compounds.
Quality & Materials
Features Kashmiri Saffron (one of the world's most expensive spices), Licorice Root, and Turmeric in a base of Sesame Seed Oil. No synthetic fragrances or fillers.
Evidence & Testing
Clinical study on 32 subjects over 4 weeks showed significant improvement in skin tone evening and brightness. Saffron's antioxidant capacity is well-documented in dermatological research.
Brand Transparency
Ranavat is exceptionally transparent about their sourcing from specific farms in India and provides detailed information on their cold-pressed extraction methods.
Value Assessment
At $95, it is a luxury item, but the concentration of pure saffron—which retails for thousands of dollars per pound—justifies the cost relative to the effective dose.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most 'saffron' products use synthetic dyes or low-grade extracts with no bioactive crocin; Ranavat provides a certificate of authenticity for their Kashmiri sourcing and has undergone independent clinical trials showing a 27% increase in radiance.
