    Applications & Uses

    Use

    AstaCos® is versatile. The natural carotenoid astaxanthin protects and supports the cells and membranes of the skin tissue and considerably reduces occurrences of tissue damage. Therefore, AstaCos® is primarily used as an active ingredient for anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and UV protection purposes.

    It is also recommended as a vegan red dye for various cosmetic formulations. AstaCos® OL50 has the Cosmos Approval and thus fulfills all conditions for certified natural cosmetics.
