Crocus Sativus (Saffron) Petals extract is derived from the floral petals of the saffron plant and is used in skincare for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and brightening properties attributed to flavonoids and phenolic compounds. It is typically included to help protect skin from oxidative stress and support a more even tone.
