| Astaxanthin |
Astaxanthin is a potent antioxidant and is also often referred to as a “super antioxidant”, found naturally in various marine organisms, such as salmon, shrimp, krill and even microalgae. It belongs to the carotenoid family, a group of pigments responsible for the orange, red and yellow colours in plants and marine animals. Known for its striking red hue, astaxanthin has gained attention for its powerful anti-ageing and skin-protective properties. With its unique molecular structure, astaxanthin is considered one of the most potent antioxidants available, offering numerous benefits for the skin, particularly in combating environmental stressors and ageing. By fighting oxidative stress and reducing inflammation, astaxanthin supports the skin’s natural regeneration process, helping to maintain a smooth, youthful appearance. It prevents the breakdown of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining skin firmness, elasticity, and structure.
