Astaxanthin

* A red carotenoid produced by algae. See What is it: Astaxanthin.

A potent antioxidant, believed to be 100-500 times more powerful than the antioxidant Vitamin E. Unfortunately, very little research has been conducted to explore the effects of topically applied Astaxanthin. For the time being, most studies focus on its effectiveness as an oral supplement and its potential in treating neurological disorders like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Despite the lack of information on this ingredient, it can still be found in several skin care products such as anti-aging serums, lotions/creams, and eye treatments.
