Since Saint Jane began, using meticulously clean, natural ingredients has been one of the most important principles they've stood by as a brand. When developing their new Hydrating Petal Cream, they approached the formulation with the same principle in mind. Inspired by petals and their ability to retain their beauty through hydration, Hydrating Petal Cream uses the power of 10 floral essences.

In this blog, we'll explore the powerhouse of ingredients in Hydrating Petal Cream and the benefits they'll add to your skincare routine.
