Versatile Applications and Areas of Use in Cosmetics:

Our Astaxanthin 5% solution is a highly versatile ingredient suitable for a diverse array of cosmetic applications:

• Anti-Aging Serums and Creams: Leverage astaxanthin's powerful antioxidant properties to combat free radical damage, a primary contributor to wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of elasticity. Incorporate into serums, facial creams, and eye creams to help promote a more youthful and radiant complexion.
• Sun Protection and After-Sun Care: Astaxanthin can enhance the skin's natural defense against UV radiation and help soothe skin after sun exposure. Add to sunscreen formulations, after-sun lotions, and balms to provide an extra layer of protection and promote recovery.
• Moisturizers and Hydrating Formulations: While not a direct moisturizer, astaxanthin can contribute to overall skin health, which indirectly supports better hydration. Include in facial moisturizers, body lotions, and hydrating masks for its antioxidant benefits.
• Eye Care Products: The delicate skin around the eyes is particularly susceptible to aging and environmental stressors. Incorporate astaxanthin into eye serums and creams to help reduce the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines.
• Facial Masks and Treatments: Enhance the efficacy of clay masks, sheet masks, and other facial treatments with the antioxidant power of astaxanthin, promoting a brighter and more revitalized complexion.
• Body Care Products: Extend the benefits of astaxanthin beyond the face by incorporating it into body lotions, creams, and body oils to protect and nourish the skin all over.
• Lip Care Formulations: Add astaxanthin to lip balms and treatments to help protect against environmental damage and keep lips looking smooth and healthy.
• Scalp and Hair Care: While primarily used for skin, the antioxidant properties of astaxanthin may also benefit the scalp. Consider incorporating it into scalp treatments or hair serums for its potential to support a healthy scalp environment.

Key Benefits for Cosmetic Formulations:

• Potent Antioxidant Activity: Astaxanthin is significantly more powerful than many other well-known antioxidants, effectively neutralizing free radicals and protecting skin from oxidative stress.
• Supports Anti-Aging Efforts: By combating free radical damage, astaxanthin helps reduce the visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines.
• Promotes Skin Elasticity and Firmness: Helps maintain collagen integrity, contributing to firmer and more elastic skin.
• Enhances Skin Radiance and Tone: Can contribute to a brighter, more even skin tone by protecting against environmental damage.
• Supports Skin Barrier Function: By promoting overall skin health, astaxanthin can indirectly support a stronger and more resilient skin barrier.
• Complements Sun Protection: Offers an additional layer of defense against UV-induced damage when used in conjunction with sunscreens.
• Stable and Effective: Our 5% solution provides a stable and easy-to-incorporate form of this powerful antioxidant.
• Global Shipping: Our online store offers worldwide delivery.

• Store the serum in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.
• 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 overall formulation. Start with a lower concentration and adjust as needed.
• When incorporating astaxanthin into emulsions, add it during the cool-down phase to prevent potential degradation from heat.
