An innovative, high-performance active ingredient from the crocus bulb improves skin resilience by up to 92% and firms sagging skin by up to 72%. It helps prevent and reduce stretch marks by stimulating collagen synthesis by 102% and reducing stretch marks by up to 72%. This bio-extract comes from the bulb of the Crocus chrysanthus plant, which is known for its ability to survive extreme conditions thanks to its high content of bioactive compounds. The extract is obtained by gentle extraction, combined with natural acacia gum and water, which ensures the preservation of its natural properties without synthetic additives.

It stimulates communication between the epidermis and dermis. The communication channels between them are proteins known as growth factors. They are released by keratinocytes and migrate to fibroblasts, where they bind to their receptors. This process is known as cellular signaling. The active ingredient from the crocus bulb triggers proper communication between keratinocytes and fibroblasts. It increases the release of growth factors in keratinocytes, strongly activates the production of the skin’s own elastin, has a firming effect, an anti-wrinkle effect, and visibly reduces stretch marks. It regenerates and repairs the skin from within. Its mechanism of action includes restoring the skin barrier through stimulation of collagen and elastin synthesis, antioxidant protection against free radicals, and strengthening intercellular communication. The typical concentration in formulations is 1-5% for optimal results.

It is especially recommended for mature skin with reduced elasticity, dry and dehydrated skin in need of regeneration, as well as sensitive skin prone to stretch marks or sagging. It is ideal for women over 30 who are looking for anti-aging prevention, or for those with visible signs of skin fatigue. It is also suitable for skin after pregnancy due to stretch mark reduction.

A study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Science (2018) showed that the application of crocus bulb extract at a concentration of 2% increased collagen synthesis by 102% and elastin by 85% in fibroblasts in vitro after 14 days. Another clinical test with 28 female participants showed an improvement in skin elasticity by 72% and a reduction in stretch marks by 68% after 56 days of daily application (International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2020). These results confirm high efficacy in anti-ageing effect.
