Saffron, which is obtained from the flower’s stigmas of the Crocus sativus L. plant, is well-recognized for its antioxidant and antiinflammatory function. There are numerous critical ingredients in saffron, including crocin, crocetin (a carotenoid derivative), picrocrocin, campherol, and safranal, which are useful in administration of medicine, nanotechnology, nutrition, and pharmaceutical sciences. Studies confirm the significant role of saffron in the prevention of central nervous system disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and liver and kidney damage. This chapter reviews the available data on saffron-derived products used for skin care (cream, powder, face masks, oils, and lotions), health care, therapy treatment, and food. |
