Did you know that saffron remains the most expensive spice in the world? The price has a lot to do with the painstaking harvest process: the flowers must be carefully picked, and then the 3 (yes, three) stigma per flower have to be carefully removed. That stigma is the basis for the saffron ‘threads’ that you see sold in stores across the globe.
Price aside, saffron has some pretty amazing properties. When taken internally, it can boost mood and improve memory. It may also protect brain cells against progressive damage. When used outside, it can treat acne, heal scars and give skin a beautiful glow. It can also fight inflammation and reduce pigmentation.
We use a hefty dose of saffron in all of our Seven Veils products for just this reason. Just a little bit goes a long way to help your skin radiate from the inside out.
