You may have realised by now that we love a wonderful story and Saffron (Crocus Sativus Stigma) is so special to the Anara story. It’s our Founder’s most favourite ingredient and it has such amazing skincare benefits.
Crodarom® French Saffron
Saffron is known to be the most expensive spice in the world, as it can only be harvested for two weeks in the year and each flower only produces three magical strands.
The Saffron used in Anara Skincare products is of the highest quality and is organically certified and freshly harvested by hand in France.

The history of Saffron
Considered as the most ancient and coveted spice on the planet, Saffron has been used since ancient times for its many therapeutic properties, refined taste and tinting strength. In the Middle East, Saffron was closely associated with beauty and sensual delight. It was used to make Kohl, a powder used as black eye makeup that prevented eye infections. Cleopatra used it in her hot baths to take advantage of its cosmetic and tinting properties. In India, Saffron, also called Kesar, is well known to Indian women for its fortifying and anti-ageing properties.
