Refusal D02 · Documented decision · Packaging compatibility

No saffron threads in the bottle

Threads photograph beautifully, then clog droppers, destabilize batches and turn a formula into theatre.

Formulation decision

The refusal

If something is in the bottle only to be seen, it is not an ingredient. It is scenery.

Reason
Kesar Dew can carry saffron as an extract and sensory signature without suspending visible plant matter for the camera.
Cost
We gave up the most obvious visual proof of saffron.
What replaced it
A controlled saffron material that can be evaluated without visible plant matter used as theatre.
Present status
