Crocus sativus (Saffron) Water is a water-based extract derived from saffron, used in skincare for its antioxidant, soothing, and skin-brightening properties attributed to compounds like crocin and safranal. It is typically incorporated as a botanical functional ingredient rather than a core formulation base.
