Pure Saffron Oil

Saffron Oil is extracted from the dry stigmas (pollen-receptive apex of pistils) of Crocus sativus L. (family Iridaceae) via supercritical CO₂ extraction. This high-pressure CO₂ fluid process dissolves volatile components while preserving full bioactivity, avoiding thermal degradation of thermosensitive constituents such as safranal and crocin. Shenlong Herbal is the professional saffron oil factory in China, with competitive price and best quality of our products.

1. Pharmaceutical & Healthcare

• Neuroprotective Support: In Ayurvedic practice, applied to alleviate melancholia and cognitive decline.
• Anti-inflammatory Agent: Topically used for arthritis relief and liver detoxification, though clinical evidence remains limited.
• Aromatherapy: Diffused for stress reduction due to its calming effects, linked to mood regulation and relaxation.
• Blood circulation enhancement mechanism

Saffron essential oil actively stimulates blood flow by dilating blood vessels and reducing platelet aggregation, accelerating nutrient/oxygen delivery. Its key bioactive compound safranal (≥30% content) is clinically proven to improve microcirculation efficiency.

Pain Relief: Reduces inflammation and eases joint/muscular pain from arthritis or injuries by resolving blood stasis.

Gynecological Support: Alleviates menstrual cramps and irregular periods by promoting pelvic blood flow (avoid during pregnancy).

Cardiovascular Aid: Lowers cholesterol, prevents thrombosis, and relieves angina symptoms in coronary heart disease

For different symptoms, special 100% natural TCM formulations blood-activating blended essential oils available.

2. Skincare & Cosmetics

• Anti-aging & Radiance: Integrated into serums and creams for its potent antioxidant properties, reducing wrinkles and brightening skin tone. Its high safranal content enhances collagen synthesis.
• Fragrance Formulation: Valued as a base note in perfumery for its distinctive herbal-sweet aroma with spicy undertones, often blended with sandalwood or rose oils.
• Hair Care: Used in scalp treatments to strengthen follicles and prevent breakage, promoting thicker, shinier hair.

3. Food

• Gourmet Ingredient: Infused into premium sauces (e.g., mayonnaise) and liquors for golden coloration and earthy flavor.
• Herbal Supplements: Encapsulated as dietary supplements for purported immune-boosting benefits, often marketed as "Kesar oil" in South Asia.

Critical Considerations:
Authentication Challenges:

• Verify Latin name (Crocus sativus) to avoid adulteration with cheap safflower oil.
• Authentic saffron oil exhibits Orange yellow or brownish-red hue and mobile liquidity.
• For cheap safflower oil, as saffron oil substitute, we can also offer it.

Safflower oil is much cheaper than saffron oil.
