Sun Gold – Saffron Face Balm with Carbon 60 | 50 mL

Sun Gold – Golden Botanical Nourishment for Your Skin

Formerly known as Carbon 60 Balm. Same trusted formulation, beautiful new identity.

Meet Sun Gold, a luxurious saffron-infused face balm handcrafted in small batches on Australia's Sunshine Coast by Against The Grain Health in collaboration with Saffronice.

Created for skin that faces the elements, Sun Gold combines precious saffron, Helichrysum, Carbon 60 fullerenes and nourishing botanical oils in a rich, carefully considered formula.

The balm melts gently on contact, leaving skin feeling soft, smooth and comfortably moisturised with a natural, soft matte finish.

Whether you're spending time outdoors, facing dry weather or simply looking for a more nourishing daily moisturiser, Sun Gold brings a touch of botanical luxury to your skincare routine.

Five Remarkable Ingredients. One Thoughtful Formulation.

1. Helichrysum italicum – The Everlasting Flower

A treasured botanical traditionally used in skincare, Helichrysum essential oil adds a distinctive aromatic character to the formulation.

2. Saffron – Nature's Golden Botanical

One of the world's most precious botanicals, saffron contains naturally occurring compounds such as crocin and crocetin. These compounds have attracted scientific interest for their antioxidant properties.

3. Carbon 60 – A Remarkable Molecular Structure

Carbon 60, also known as C60 or fullerene, is a molecule composed of 60 carbon atoms. It has attracted research interest for its unusual structure and potential antioxidant behaviour. Research into its topical cosmetic applications remains developing.

4. Tasmanian Hemp Seed Oil – Botanical Moisture Support

Naturally rich in essential fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6, hemp seed oil helps soften and condition the skin while supporting moisture retention.

5. Australian Manuka Beeswax – Natural Moisture Protection

Beeswax helps form a moisture-retaining layer over the skin, contributing to the balm's smooth texture and comfortable finish.
