What it does
An extract from saffron (Crocus sativus) flowers, rich in carotenoids and antioxidant compounds, used in cosmetics for brightening and antioxidant support. As an antioxidant ingredient, it is particularly valued for antioxidant protection from carotenoids (crocin, safranal) and traditionally used to brighten and even skin tone.
Skin type guide
Suitable for all skin types. Antioxidants are especially valuable for skin exposed to daily UV and environmental stressors — which is essentially everyone.
