Crocus chrysanthus bulb extract is at the heart of a new day cream and overnight facemask duo unveiled by Seed to Skin.

The ingredient is used in The Light Source and Night Force to stimulate ‘cell to cell communication’ in mature skin to target all signs of ageing.

The Light Source is a multi-active day cream that’s designed to restore the skin’s cushion and bounce, repair and protect the lipid barrier and soothe sensitised, dry and aged skin.

The Night Force is a leave-on cream masque that’s formulated to smooth lines and wrinkles, redensify ageing skin and brighten the complexion.

In total, the duo boast more than 30 actives, including herb-infused marula oil and fermented red ginseng oil.

They will both be launched on 1 November.

“We have looked into every single ingredient in depth to understand how we could further improve its efficacy,” says Seed to Skin founder and owner Jeanette Thottrup. “It’s all about how those ingredients are structured and put together.

“There is really nothing that is not active in this formula. I call this ‘adaptogen ethnobotanical advanced skincare’ and it’s where I see the future for result-driven, natural skincare.”
