Parijat Moisturizer | 100g

A parijat moisturizer named for the night-flowering jasmine that opens after dark and drops its petals by sunrise. The scent is the reason to reach for this one — sweet, faintly green, closer to a garden at night than to a perfume counter. Underneath it is the same soft everyday cream, made in small batches in our own unit.

Why you'll love it

• A scent you will not find on a shelf — parijat is a familiar flower in Indian gardens and an unfamiliar one in skincare, so this smells like almost nothing else in your bathroom.
• Softness that lasts past the first hour — glycerin is a humectant, so it draws moisture into the upper layers of skin and slows how quickly it leaves again.
• Enough body for rough patches — stearic acid gives the cream structure, so it stays where you put it on elbows, knees and heels instead of sliding off.
• Conditioned, comfortable skin — pro-vitamin B5 holds water in the skin, and vitamin E is an antioxidant that also helps keep the oils in the jar stable.
• One jar instead of three — the same 100 g does face, hands and body, so you are not buying a separate cream for each.

Key ingredients

• Parijat extract — from the night-flowering jasmine, also known as harsingar; it gives the cream its sweet, green floral character.
• Aloe vera extract — light and watery; takes the heaviness off a cream this rich.
• Glycerin — the workhorse humectant, pulling moisture into skin and holding it there.
• Vitamin E and pro-vitamin B5 — vitamin E is an antioxidant; panthenol conditions and softens.

Who it's for

All skin types, all ages, and everyone in the house — this is a family jar, not a women's product. Pick this one if the scent matters as much as the cream, and if rose feels too expected. As with any new skincare, patch test on the inner arm and wait a day before using it on your face.
