Astaxanthin 5% Solution: The Powerful Antioxidant for Radiant Skin

Unlock the exceptional potential of our Astaxanthin 5% solution, a potent and naturally derived carotenoid renowned for its extraordinary antioxidant properties. This high-quality ingredient offers a concentrated source of astaxanthin, a vibrant red pigment produced by microalgae and other marine organisms. Celebrated as one of nature's most powerful antioxidants, astaxanthin provides significant benefits for skin health, helping to combat the visible signs of aging and protect against environmental stressors. Our 5% solution ensures optimal delivery and efficacy in your cosmetic formulations.

Applications and Areas of Use in Cosmetics:

Astaxanthin 5% solution is a versatile ingredient suitable for a wide range of cosmetic applications, targeting various skin concerns:

• Anti-Aging Serums and Creams: Its potent antioxidant activity helps neutralize free radicals, which contribute to fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity. Incorporating astaxanthin can support a smoother, firmer, and more youthful complexion.
• Facial Oils and Treatments: Astaxanthin can be added to facial oils to enhance their protective qualities and impart a subtle, natural color. It helps to improve skin resilience and reduce the appearance of sun damage.
• Eye Creams and Serums: The delicate skin around the eyes is particularly susceptible to aging and environmental damage. Astaxanthin can help reduce the appearance of crow's feet, dark circles, and puffiness due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Sun Protection and After-Sun Care: While not a direct sunscreen, astaxanthin can bolster the skin's natural defenses against UV radiation and help soothe and repair sun-exposed skin in after-sun formulations.
• Moisturizers and Lotions: Adding astaxanthin to daily moisturizers and body lotions can provide continuous antioxidant protection, promoting overall skin health and radiance.
• Masks and Exfoliants: Incorporate into facial masks and gentle exfoliants to deliver antioxidant benefits while the product is on the skin, contributing to a brighter and more even skin tone.
• Lip Care Products: Astaxanthin can help protect the lips from environmental damage and maintain their smoothness and suppleness in balms and treatments.
• Scalp and Hair Treatments: Its antioxidant properties may extend benefits to the scalp, helping to protect hair follicles from oxidative stress. It can be included in scalp serums and hair masks.

Key Benefits for Cosmetic Formulations:

• Exceptional Antioxidant Power: Astaxanthin is significantly more potent than many other well-known antioxidants, providing superior protection against free radical damage.
• Supports Skin Elasticity and Firmness: By combating collagen degradation caused by oxidative stress, astaxanthin helps maintain skin's structural integrity.
• Reduces the Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Its anti-aging properties contribute to a smoother and more youthful skin texture.
• Protects Against Environmental Stressors: Helps shield the skin from the damaging effects of pollution and UV radiation.
• Promotes a Radiant and Even Skin Tone: Can help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and promote a brighter complexion.
• Supports Skin Hydration: Contributes to a healthy skin barrier, helping to retain moisture.
• Natural and Vibrant Color: Imparts a beautiful reddish-orange hue to formulations, which can be adjusted with concentration.
• Stable and Effective: Our 5% solution is formulated for stability and optimal delivery of this powerful antioxidant.
• Worldwide Shipping: Our online store offers delivery across the globe.

Cosmetic Formulation Recipe: Antioxidant Facial Serum with Astaxanthin

Instructions:

1. In a clean beaker, combine the Jojoba Oil and Rosehip Seed Oil.
2. Gently stir in the Astaxanthin 5% Solution until evenly dispersed.
3. Add the Vitamin E and Coenzyme Q10 solution (if using).
4. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the serum has a uniform color.
5. Carefully transfer the serum into a clean, dark glass dropper bottle to protect it from light.

Application Recommendations:

• Apply a few drops of the serum to clean, slightly damp skin on the face and neck.
• Gently massage the serum into the skin using upward strokes until fully absorbed.
• Use once or twice daily, morning and/or evening, as part of your skincare routine.
• For enhanced sun protection, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.
• Store the serum in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain its potency.
• The recommended usage level of Astaxanthin 5% solution in cosmetic formulations typically ranges from 0.5% to 5%, depending on the desired effect and the type of product.
• When incorporating astaxanthin into emulsions (creams and lotions), it is best added to the oil phase or at the cool-down phase to prevent degradation from heat.
• The natural red-orange color of astaxanthin may influence the final color of your product. Adjust the concentration accordingly to achieve the desired aesthetic.
