Astaxanthin AstaTROL 1 kg

Astaxanthin AstaTROL carotenoid antioxidant ingredient for cosmetic formulations

Astaxanthin AstaTROL is a concentrated carotenoid ingredient derived from natural sources. Carotenoids are lipophilic pigments that provide the material with a characteristic deep red orange color. In cosmetic formulations astaxanthin is used as a functional ingredient in oil based and emulsion systems.

The raw material typically appears as a dense oil based liquid or concentrated extract. It dissolves well in vegetable oils and lipid emollients. Due to its lipophilic nature astaxanthin is incorporated into the oil phase of emulsions or into anhydrous cosmetic formulations.

Properties and skin performance

In cosmetic systems astaxanthin provides a warm carotenoid tone and contributes to the formation of rich lipid textures. The ingredient distributes evenly in the oil phase and maintains uniform color in formulations.

Industry applications

Astaxanthin AstaTROL is used in creams, serums, oil concentrates and emulsion based skincare formulations. It is applied in facial products, eye area formulations and nourishing cosmetic systems.

The ingredient is also used in body care products, SPA formulations and decorative cosmetic systems where stable pigment dispersion is required. Because of its stability astaxanthin is suitable for functional cosmetic lines, private label development and contract manufacturing.

Formula example carotenoid oil serum

Astaxanthin AstaTROL 2 g
Jojoba oil 45 ml
Macadamia oil 40 ml
Squalane 40 ml
Vitamin E 3 g
Sea buckthorn oil extract 10 ml
Caprylic triglycerides 40 ml
Preservative system 2 g

The oil phase is prepared by blending the oils, squalane and caprylic triglycerides until uniform. Astaxanthin AstaTROL is incorporated and mixed until the pigment is evenly distributed within the lipid phase. Vitamin E and sea buckthorn extract are then added and mixing continues until homogeneous. The final formulation develops a stable red orange oil serum with uniform color.

Astaxanthin AstaTROL is used by B2B cosmetic manufacturers developing carotenoid enriched formulations. The ingredient provides stability of lipid systems and reproducible performance in scalable industrial production.

Properties	Inhibits lipid oxidation (prevents skin roughening). Protects the skin from inflammation (prevents erythema). Anti-aging effect – suppression of singlet oxygen. Astaxanthin slows down the production of melanin in the epidermis of human skin. Astaxanthin promotes moisture retention in the corneocyte layer of dry skin. Reducing the secretion of oil on the surface of the skin. Astaxanthin improves skin elasticity. Neutralizes free radicals.
Purpose	Natural antioxidant astaxanthin from microscopic algae, which has pronounced anti-aging properties, prevents skin photoaging and is used for the production of cosmetic products. Astaxanthin is a powerful carotenoid that penetrates the skin and protects every layer of skin from ROS damage caused by sunlight and air pollution. Whether it's for day protection or night recovery, astaxanthin cream locks in moisture along with powerful antioxidant protection. AstaTROL® is a cosmetic brand of natural astaxanthin (5% natural astaxanthin complex) obtained through solvent extraction and molecular distillation. This produces high-quality oil with a low odor. The astaxanthin complex consists primarily of monoesterified forms, followed by diesterified and free forms.
