Astaxanthin is a natural carotenoid, widely found in aquatic animals, bird feathers and micro algae. It has strong antioxidant activity. But because of its poor water solubility and stability, astaxanthin is very easy to be oxidized and decomposed when encountering light, heat, oxygen, etc., which reduces its bioavailability. Plamed develops astaxanthin water emulsion by nano-emulsification technology that overcomes the above shortcomings. Astaxanthin water emulsion is easily absorbed by skin, and still has a strong anti-oxidation property. Transdermal tests have shown that astaxanthin water emulsion can change the tight structure of skin stratum corneum. It can promote the penetration and absorption of astaxanthin, and increase the retention of astaxanthin in skin. Cytotoxicity and skin irritation experiments proved that astaxanthin water emulsion has better safety at a certain concentration, and there is no obvious irritation to human skin. As the strongest antioxidant agent in nature, astaxanthin’s antioxidant activity is 1000 times that of vitamin C. Astaxanthin can effectively protect the skin from ultraviolet (UVA, UVB) damage. Its super strong ability to eliminate free radicals can prevent skin cells from being damaged by free radicals, and reduce wrinkles and fine lines. As a super anti-oxidant agent for cosmetic, astaxanthin is widely used in various cosmetics such as cream, serum, eye cream, facial mask and lotion.
