SKIN CARE
Conclusion Numerous research studies have led to the conclusion that astaxanthin can improve the overall health of the skin, providing comprehensive biological cell protection against cell damage caused by UV radiation. Due to its multiple properties, the active ingredient AstaCos OL50 with astaxanthin acts exactly where it is needed and penetrates deep into the skin layers, with particularly noteworthy protective effects against UV-A and UV-B. Astaxanthin from microalgae is perfect for
use in leave-on products. When being refined as oleoresin, the power antioxidant can be ideally incorporated into a wide variety of formulations, such as facial applications, pre- treatments and sun protection products, as well as protecting our skin against light-induced oxidative stress.
