Description:
Astaxanthin is a natural carotenoid, and its unique molecular structure endows it with powerful antioxidant capabilities. Natural astaxanthin is primarily extracted from Haematococcus pluvialis, a type of algae that accumulates astaxanthin in large quantities under conditions of high light intensity, high salinity, and nutrient deprivation. Cell wall disruption can enhance the extraction efficiency of astaxanthin. As a potent natural antioxidant, astaxanthin has become an important ingredient in the field of cosmetics due to its remarkable effects in antioxidant, anti-aging, sun protection, whitening, and repair.
