Derived from microalgae cultivated in the unpolluted waters of Iceland, Astaxanthin boasts an antioxidant power that surpasses many well-known skincare staples. With an astonishing 6000 times the antioxidant power of vitamin C, 770 times that of COQ10, and 550 times the potency of green tea, it's no wonder that Astaxanthin is getting some attention for its transformative skincare benefits.

What sets Icelandic Astaxanthin apart is its purity and sustainability. Sourced from microalgae thriving in the nutrient-rich Icelandic waters, it undergoes a meticulous supercritical CO2 technology extraction process using pure Icelandic glacial water and 100% renewable energy. This commitment to sustainability ensures that every drop of Astaxanthin is not only potent but also environmentally friendly.

The benefits of Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin's skincare benefits extend far beyond its antioxidant properties. Clinical studies have demonstrated its ability to protect the skin from UV-induced damage, improve elasticity, and reduce hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and collagen breakdown. Its stability and versatility make it an ideal ingredient for skincare formulations, offering users a potent solution for radiant, youthful-looking skin.

This potent antioxidant goes beyond aesthetics; it offers a range of benefits for the skin:

1. Antioxidant protection: Astaxanthin is approximately 6000 times more potent than vitamin C in its ability to neutralize free radicals, protecting the skin from oxidative stress and premature aging.

2. Enhanced skin hydration: It helps to lock in moisture, reducing water loss from the skin, and maintaining a plump, hydrated complexion.

3. Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles: Astaxanthin aids in improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

4. Sun damage mitigation: With its natural sun-blocking properties, Astaxanthin can help shield the skin from UV damage, making it an excellent addition to your daily skincare routine.

Astaxanthin and bakuchiol are both known for their potential skincare benefits, but they work in slightly different ways and can complement each other effectively in a skincare routine. That´s why we have combined them in our new Moon Magic Serum.

• Astaxanthin: It is a powerful antioxidant derived from algae that helps protect the skin from environmental damage caused by free radicals. Astaxanthin has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and may help improve skin elasticity and hydration. It can also help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
• Bakuchiol: It is a natural retinol alternative derived from the seeds and leaves of the Babchi plant. Bakuchiol has been gaining popularity in skincare for its ability to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and reduce the signs of aging without the potential side effects associated with retinol, such as irritation and sensitivity.

When used together, astaxanthin and bakuchiol can provide comprehensive antioxidant protection and anti-aging benefits for the skin. Astaxanthin helps neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation, while bakuchiol promotes collagen synthesis and skin renewal.
