Astaxanthin is a powerful carotenoid antioxidant derived from microalgae. Known for its deep red color and superior free radical scavenging ability, it helps protect skin from oxidative stress, UV-induced damage, and visible aging signs. Ideal for facial serums, creams, and sun care formulations.
Astaxanthin is often called the "king of carotenoids" for its extraordinary antioxidant strength, up to 6000x stronger than Vitamin C. It offers broad-spectrum protection against UV damage, inflammation, and oxidative stress, making it ideal for anti-aging and protective skincare.
