Arc en Sels Saffron Face Cream 03 – Rich

This 100% natural saffron face cream for dry and sensitive skin combines antioxidants from saffron flowers with phytosqualane from olives, organic shea butter and hyaluronic acid. The rich formula absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film, provides intensive nourishment, offers long-lasting hydration and has been developed for daily comfort and to prevent premature skin ageing.

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 naturally rich in polyphenols with antioxidant properties. These antioxidants protect the skin against oxidative stress, a key factor in premature skin ageing.

Olive phytosqualane (3%)

Phytosqualane is derived from olives and is known for leaving the skin feeling silky smooth. It nourishes the skin, makes it supple and leaves no greasy film.

Organic shea butter (2%)

Shea butter is rich in fatty acids and unsaponifiable components. This nourishing ingredient provides comfort and suppleness to dry skin.

Vegetable glycerine (5%)

Glycerine attracts moisture and helps the skin retain it for longer. This makes the skin feel more comfortable and keeps it better hydrated.

High-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is known for its moisture-binding properties and ensures the skin feels smoother, plumper and more comfortable.

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 for a more intensive skincare routine.

Characteristic fragrance

The fragrance opens with fresh notes of lemon litsea and bergamot. This is followed by soft floral notes of rose and violets. The warm base of amber gives the cream an elegant and refined character.
