Arc en Sels Saffron Face Cream 02 – Balance

This 100% natural saffron face cream for normal, combination and sensitive skin combines antioxidants from saffron flowers with organic apricot oil and mallow. The light texture absorbs quickly without feeling heavy, gives a velvety finish, leaves the skin soft and supple, and has been developed for everyday comfort and to prevent premature skin ageing.

This cream from Arc en Sels was inspired by a flower. After the saffron harvest, only the red stigmas of the plant are kept, whilst the purple petals are discarded. Arc en Sels has incorporated these petals into three creams, each tailored to a specific skin type.

Active ingredients

Saffron flower extract (0.5%)

This extract is derived from the flowers left over after the saffron harvest in France and Spain. It is rich in polyphenols with antioxidant properties. These antioxidants protect the skin against oxidative stress, a major factor in premature skin ageing.

Organic apricot oil (2%)

A delicate plant-based oil that leaves the skin supple without leaving a heavy or greasy film. Apricot oil is known for its gentle nature and is particularly suitable for sensitive skin.

Organic mallow extract

Mallow naturally contains high levels of mucilage, which is known for its soothing properties. This leaves the skin feeling comfortable, soft and pleasant to the touch.

Use

Use daily as a day cream, night cream or both.

• Apply in the morning and/or evening to cleansed skin.
• Avoid the eye area.
• Gently massage in until the cream is fully absorbed.
• Combine with a serum or facial oil if desired for a more intensive skincare routine.

Characteristic fragrance

The fragrance opens with a fresh burst of lemon litsea and bergamot. This gives way to a soft, floral heart of rose and violets. The warm base of amber lends the cream a refined and elegant character.
