Arc en Sels Saffron Face Cream 01 – Light

This 100% natural saffron face cream for oily skin combines antioxidants from saffron flowers with zinc gluconate, meadowsweet extract and light hazelnut oil. The velvety-soft formula absorbs quickly, leaves no greasy residue and is designed to help reduce excess sebum without drying out the skin. At the same time, it provides daily anti-ageing care thanks to the natural polyphenols from saffron flowers.

This cream originates from a flower. After the saffron harvest, only the red stigmas of the plant are retained, whilst the purple petals are discarded. These petals form the basis of three face creams, each tailored to a specific skin type.

Active ingredients

Saffron flower extract (0.5%)

Zinc gluconate

Zinc gluconate is widely used in skincare products for oily skin. It is known for its sebum-regulating properties and is often used on skin that tends to become shiny quickly.

Meadowsweet extract

Meadowsweet extract is traditionally used in skincare products for blemish-prone and oily skin. It is known for its purifying and sebum-regulating properties.
