Astaxanthin for Skincare

natural astaxanthin for skincare

High quality natural ingredients are our specialty at Shay and Company and Astaxanthin is one of our newest favorites!

Susan has been taking astaxanthin as a skincare supplement and using it in her skincare routine for over a decade. Astaxanthin is a very powerful antioxidant that helps do everything from protect the skin from environmental pollutants and blocking UV damage, to creating more radiant, smooth skin.

Astaxanthin is created from a microalgae; it is bright red to orange in color; has a mild algae-oil aroma. Nothing too powerful as you use it in a small percentage in your formulas.

This anti-aging ingredient is so powerful you only have to use 1% to have a very effective product!

Astaxanthin is an ideal ingredient to be used in:

Face creams and lotions

Eye Serums

Eye Creams

Lip balms and lip gloss

Lip treatment

Scalp treatment

Hair oil

Oil Serums

Hand Creams

Our astaxanthin is pre-solubilized for you so it is ready to just add in, blend and go.
