An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Soon, Ursa Major was born: delightfully effective, forest-infused skincare essentials—made with zero harmful ingredients—so your skin and your spirit can truly thrive!

"I’ve bought at least 10 jars of this. Perfect texture and thickness for yearlong. Light layer in hot summer and thicker layer in dry winters to keep skin hydrated."
— Sally W. (5/5)
"I have very dry, aging skin and to top it off I live in the high desert. This moisturizer isn’t moisturizing enough for me. It doesn’t seem to absorb and almost feels like it lays on my skin."
— Chris O. (2/5)
"This is my 4-5 bottle, it’s thick and works great; doesn’t feel heavy or cause reactions"
— jennie c. (5/5)
"I would recommend these products. Does the job as advertised."
— Barbara W. (5/5)
"I tried to switch to another nighttime moisturizer but came back to Golden Hour !"
— marnie p. (5/5)
"Love this. I have oily skin: I use it during the cold season only, and prefer to apply it at night since it’s heavy and provides great hydration overnight. The scent is divine, not too strong (red flag, otherwise, for me). I recommended it to a friend who has dry skin and now it’s her favorite cream."
— natalia s. (5/5)
"Really nice, thick hydrating cream that you can use over your other skin care layers. I use it at night since it is a bit thicker and my skin is oily. I'm leaving four stars only because it seems to be a little irritating on my skin due to me using prescription grade acne topicals, so my skin barrier is a little weakened. If your skin barrier is in good condition, would highly recommend!"
— Carolina (4/5)
"I don't care much for the scent but its subtle so it's not a problem. Otherwise its a good thick cream for your face, nice to use at night!"
— Hayley S. (4/5)
"lovely and works well to hydrate but leaves somewhat of stinging feeling, so I worry it may be irritating or too strong, wish that it was a little less intense this way. Smells really nice tho."
— Lee (4/5)
"Extremely hydrating. A little goes a long way."
— Bethany K. (5/5)
