Radiant Rani Saffron Brightening Serum
This serum utilizes high-grade Kashmiri Saffron, one of the most expensive and antioxidant-rich spices, in a formula clinically proven to improve skin tone and brightness. It stands out for its sourcing ethics and rigorous third-party clinical testing on the finished product.
Quality & Materials
Features 100% organic saffron threads, licorice root, and manjistha. The saffron is sourced from a single farm in Kashmir to ensure high safranal and crocin content.
Evidence & Testing
In a 4-week clinical study, 100% of participants showed a significant improvement in skin brightness and a reduction in fine lines.
Brand Transparency
Ranavat provides detailed information on their sourcing from India and performs independent clinical trials rather than relying solely on ingredient-level data.
Value Assessment
High price point ($135) but justified by the sheer cost of the raw material (Saffron) and the concentration of the formula.
Why Not Alternatives?
Unlike competitors that use 'saffron extract' in trace amounts for marketing, Ranavat uses it as a primary active ingredient. Many spice-based serums rely on synthetic dyes to mimic the color of saffron, whereas Ranavat's potency is derived entirely from the botanical itself.
