Crocin 40%

Crocin 40% is a natural active plant extract derived from the stigmas of saffron flowers. The regions where saffron grows have high altitudes, abundant sunlight, and suitable temperature differences, resulting in saffron with high content of active components. The Crocin 40% are washed, subjected to low-temperature extraction, membrane separation purification, and low-temperature concentration processes to be refined into Crocin. Its core active component is Crocin, and it also contains active monomers such as saffron glycoside I and saffron glycoside II. The appearance of the finished saffron glycoside is uniform and fine red powder, with bright and uniform color, and the powder is loose and dry. It retains the natural delicate herbal fragrance of saffron, with pure and mild odor. Saffron glycoside has good water solubility and can quickly dissolve in cold water and hot water. After dissolution, it forms a transparent and uniform yellow to orange-yellow solution. It can also slightly dissolve in common organic solvents such as anhydrous ethanol and propylene glycol, but does not dissolve in oil-based systems. It is compatible with most water-based and water-alcohol-based formulation systems, with high dissolution efficiency and good solution stability.

Saffron glycosides possess excellent free radical scavenging ability. They can effectively slow down the oxidation and aging process of substances, and can be used to nourish the human body. They help to improve problems caused by oxidative damage to the body, and can also delay the deterioration and aging of raw materials in the formulation system.

Saffron glycosides have a mild effect on the body, helping to relieve physical fatigue, improve metabolic circulation. They can soothe skin discomfort, improve roughness and dullness, and gently repair the skin barrier.

Saffron glycosides themselves have a natural golden-yellow or orange-yellow color, with a clear and soft hue. They are a rare natural coloring agent. Compared to synthetic artificial colors, they are 100% natural, have no side effects, have higher compliance, do not cause irritation problems, and can perfectly replace chemical pigments.

The core application scenario of saffron glycosides is in the fields of functional foods and dietary supplements. It is commonly used in the production of dietary supplement capsules, tablets, powders, compressed candies, etc. It is also suitable for liquid food formulas such as functional oral liquids, herbal beverages, and health tea drinks.

In the food and cosmetics industries, saffron glycosides can be used as high-end natural color-mixing raw materials. Unlike artificial colors which have chemical properties, saffron glycosides are derived from plants, safe and harmless, and are suitable for products for infants and young children, high-end health foods, and luxury cosmetics, etc., which are in high-demand scenarios.

It can also be freely combined with various common medicinal and edible plants such as ginseng, goji berries, licorice, and chrysanthemum to develop composite functional health care raw materials and customized plant extract formulas.

In the field of skin care products and cosmetics, it is widely used in various high-end and mid-range plant-based skin care formulas, including essence water, toner, pure liquid, masks, skin care creams and lotions, etc.
