Astaxanthin
Product Introduction
Astaxanthin, which can also be found in certain types of fish and seafood, is a carotenoid (a class of yellow, orange and red pigments) that can improve the look and feel of skin through topical use (in astaxanthin skincare products) and dietary use (through astaxanthin supplements). Carotenoids have strong antioxidant, repairing, anti-inflammatory and potential anti-aging properties — and astaxanthin is one of the most potent carotenoids on the market.
Astaxanthin, pronounced “asta-zan-thin,” is a compound found in some aquatic microalgae and is responsible for colouring seafood like shrimp, crab and lobster shades of orange-red to pink, as well as the plumage of flamingos. Astaxanthin is a marine xanthophyll (a class of oxygen-containing carotenoid pigments) and a member of the terpene group of chemical compounds. Astaxanthin is a lipid- (oil-) soluble red pigment that moves up the food chain by colouring various shellfish and sea-living crustaceans that feed on the astaxanthin-rich algae. In fact, most orange, pink and red marine organisms contain astaxanthin.

Astaxanthin is a potent, lipid-soluble antioxidant, many times more effective (on a per molecule basis) than vitamin E, the best known natural lipid-soluble antioxidant. Astaxanthin is particularly impressive for your skin due to the fact that it never becomes a pro-oxidant, meaning that it protects our cells against oxidation and keeps your skin young and rejuvinated. Astaxanthin has been shown in clinical studies to increase skin moisture, moisture retention, elasticity, as well as promote skin smoothness, decreasing fine lines and wrinkles. Astaxanthin has UV-blocking properties, which helps to assist the skin in protecting itself against sun-related damage such as dark spots on your skin.Astaxanthin can neutralize multiple free radicals at once, protecting your skin and body from oxidation, damage, and inflammation.
