What is Astaxanthin?

Astaxanthin is a natural pigment in the carotenoid family. It is found primarily in certain microalgae (Haematococcus pluvialis), but also in salmon and shellfish. It is recognizable by its intense orange-red hue. Its coloring effect is entirely natural and not synthetic.
Nicknamed the “queen of antioxidants,” it has garnered attention for its protective and anti-aging effects, both as a dietary supplement and in cosmetics.

The Benefits of Astaxanthin

A well-known antioxidant

This natural pigment combats the free radicals responsible for premature aging. It is considered to be up to 6,000 times more potent than vitamin C. Thanks to its unique molecular structure, this ingredient penetrates the membranes of skin cells and helps protect them from oxidative damage.

An anti-aging ally for the skin

Astaxanthin helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines while protecting collagen and elastin, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more resilient skin.
