A light-emitting component is provided which comprises a carrier, a reflective layer and a light source, wherein the light source is mechanically fixed on a mounting surface of the carrier. The carrier has an electrically isolating basic body comprising an edge region, said edge region bounding the mounting surface. The edge region comprises a recess, wherein the reflective layer covers a base surface of the recess. Moreover, the mounting surface is vertically elevated with respect to the base surface of the recess at least in places, such that the reflective layer is kept away from the mounting surface.
Furthermore, a method for producing such a light-emitting component is provided.
