2. Active Ingredients

Crocin and Crocetin

The main active ingredients of saffron extract are natural crocin and crocetin compounds. These active substances are famous for powerful antioxidant, skin brightening, blood circulation soothing and skin evening properties, serving as the core functional components of saffron.

Crocin and crocetin are vital natural active ingredients intensively researched in the industry. Studies prove that they can efficiently neutralize free radicals inside human body and on skin surface. Free radicals are the main causes of skin oxidative dullness, sallow complexion, fine lines, poor internal blood circulation and sub-health conditions, which can effectively improve various skin and physical problems caused by oxidation and blood imbalance.

Natural Flavonoids and Plant Polyphenols

Saffron extract also contains abundant natural flavonoids and plant polyphenols with strong and pure rare natural floral fragrance. These ingredients not only endow products with elegant and noble plant-derived floral texture, but also deliver excellent effects on blood circulation regulation, mild nourishment and calming soothing. They can gently maintain skin and physical health and bring multiple maintenance benefits.

3. Appearance and Properties

Color

Our conventional-grade saffron extract ranges from orange red to deep red; high-purity grade is bright orange red, and high-precision grade is pale orange yellow, pure without impurities and caking.

Form

We supply fine powder and concentrated liquid extract in various specifications.

Supported by advanced extraction and modification technologies, water-soluble saffron extract has achieved stable mass production. It is fully compatible with various water-based production systems and meets diversified application demands of different industries.

4. Health Benefits

Antioxidant Protection

As mentioned above, crocin, crocetin and flavonoids contained in saffron extract possess strong antioxidant capacity. They can effectively eliminate free radicals in the body and on the skin, protect cells against oxidative damage and slow down the aging process. They greatly reduce the risks of dull yellow skin, poor complexion, sagging skin and sub-health problems caused by insufficient blood circulation.

Anti-inflammatory and Soothing Properties

A large number of studies have proved that saffron extract has remarkable anti-inflammatory and soothing effects. It can effectively relieve skin surface redness, dry heat, sensitivity and fragility, and assist in regulating internal blood inflammation of the human body. It works well in maintaining ruddy skin state, improving sallow dull skin and conditioning poor blood metabolism.

Physical Metabolism and Mental Conditioning

Natural active ingredients in saffron exert positive regulatory effects on human metabolism and physical and mental state. They help adjust blood circulation, relieve mental depression and fatigue, improve low spirits and stabilize human physiological functions, and effectively alleviate physical and mental sub-health problems caused by irregular schedules and insufficient blood supply.

Metabolic Regulation and Health Maintenance

Flavonoids and polyphenols in saffron extract can mildly regulate human metabolism, balance internal blood circulation and smooth physical circulation. They relieve physical weakness, low mood and other discomforts resulted from slow blood flow and circulation blockage, realizing mild all-round physical conditioning and daily health care.
