Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin is a unique antioxidant for anti-aging cosmetics

Astaxanthin is a natural antioxidant from an extract of the microscopic algae Haemotococcus pluvialis, which has pronounced anti-aging properties and prevents skin photoaging.

Astaxanthin’s unique structure allows it to capture cellular and mitochondrial membranes.

Benefits of Astaxanthin:

• 550 times more effective than vitamin E (α-tocopherol).
• 40 times more effective than beta-carotene (as an antioxidant).
• Prevents inflammatory processes (NF gene expression).
• Inhibits DNA destruction processes (8-OHdG).
• Excellent protection against lipid peroxidases.
• Extremely resistant to free radicals.
• Strengthens the immune response.
• Safe.
• Blocks damage from UV radiation and ozone stress.

Functions:

• inhibits lipid oxidation (prevents skin roughening);
• protects the skin from inflammation (prevents erythema);
• anti-aging effect (suppression of singlet oxygen);
• slows down the production of melanin in the epidermis of human skin;
• promotes moisture retention in the corneocyte layer of dry skin;
• reducing the secretion of oil on the surface of the skin;
• increases skin elasticity;
• neutralizes free radicals.

Benefits of using Astaxanthin:

• no side effects when applying the cream to the skin;
• absence of negative effects and increase in humidity levels upon repeated use;
• visible reduction of wrinkles (fine wrinkles become invisible, rough skin disappears, skin becomes soft and elastic, good complexion and smooth skin).

Applications of Astaxanthin:

• cream – 0.05%;
• moisturizers – 0.1-0.7%;
• lotion for normal skin – 0.03%;
• lotion for oily skin – 0.01%;
• lotion – after-sun milk – 0.05%.

Specifications:

• Type: oil extraction, astaxanthin content 4.5%.
• Viscosity: 25C 100 cP / 50C 60 cP. Relatively resistant to temperature.

Recommendations for use:

Formulation input level: 0.0001 to 0.07% in final formulation.
The final formulation should be maintained at a pH of 5.5 or higher.
More and more evidence suggests that astaxanthin is most effective when administered orally and topically together.
