A powerhouse ingredient for natural skincare formulations, Astaxanthin creates truly effective natural skincare products.

Astaxanthin for skincare is a high performing, naturally-occurring antioxidant that works in the oil phase of the skin to help protect and firm the skin. Natural Astaxanthin for skin is bright orange in color with a characteristic oil aroma. You use this product in very small percentages (0-1%) so there is no concern with skin discoloration.

Astaxanthin is derived from microalgae (haematococcus pluvalis). It is a clean, high-impact ingredient. Astaxanthin is a lipid- active, oil soluble carotenoid, working directly to repair and protect. Astaxanthin should be used in formulas targeting sun protection, environmental repair, aging skin and dull skin.

Why should I use Astaxanthin in my skincare formulas?

Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful, naturally occurring carotenoid that works to protect the skin against environmental toxins and to help create smoother, more radiant skin. You can create luxury skincare formulas using natural astaxanthin.

Astaxanthin is oil soluble and very stable, making it an easy addition to your ingredient line-up.

Astaxanthin should only be used in 1% or less, making it an easy addition to any oil based product without drastically raising your end costs.

Can I use astaxanthin instead of vitamin C?

Vitamin C works differently than astaxanthin, but they are very complimentary and should be used together in formulas. Vitamin C and astaxanthin are both strong antioxidants, just vitamin c works to help brighten the skin where astaxanthin works to protect and improve the skin.

What types of products should have astaxanthin in them?

This is the next level of skincare ingredients so use this in your high-end, targeted product lines. Do not use astaxanthin in wash-off products as your customers will just be washing the benefits down the drain. Astaxanthin can be used in any emulsified or oil based product. Add it into your:

Facial Oil Serums- we have so many great oils to create facial oil serums. These have become very popular, especially with the aging crowd as the benefit of moisturizers without feeling heavy or paying for water is very popular. Checkout our Facial Oils lists to find great pairings.

Water-based facial serums- you can incorporate astaxanthin as a serum ingredient but if your base is primarily water based (think using our Aloe Gel as the base), you may need to distribute the astaxanthin using an emulsifier.

Eye Creams and gels- looking to create a line specifically targeting under-eye damage and those fun 11 lines? Astaxanthin is an excellent ingredient choice as it helps create smoother skin, promotes a more radiant complexion, and creates firmer looking skin.

Sun Care products- we are all aware of the damage that the sun and UV exposure to our skin. Incorporation astaxanthin into your sun protection products, and into your sun repair products will help to protect the skin against both environmental pollution and UV damage. Astaxanthin helps to protect against blue light exposures and oxidative stress.

Lip care products- dry, aging, chapped, wrinkled lips? The lips themselves are often overlooked when doing face care routines so creating a lip specific line that incorporates astaxanthin can make that protocol more complete. You can add a small amount of astaxanthin to our Lip Balm Base to create lip balm, or add other hydrating oils such as Organic Castor Oil, Organic Black Seed Oil, Olive Oil Eco Silicone, Organic Broccoli Seed Oil and Alpha Bisabolol to create a lip gloss with excellent hydration and protective care properties.

What color is astaxanthin?

Astaxanthin is bright orange to red in color. All things naturally bright in color showcase their antioxidant plant power. This is true with vegetables and with plant based oils. Astaxanthin should be used in less than 1% in your formula; any more and you won’t see additional benefits, and you may cause some temporary skin discoloration. Skincare products with astaxanthin will have a yellowish tone to them, which is how you know the formula has real ingredients. The skin will have a warm glow when the product is first applied but it will not stain the skin, even with daily use.

Will it stain the skin?

No, not when used at the proper levels. Even if you were to put pure astaxanthin on your skin, it would have a natural glow to it for a while but will eventually return to normal. We DO NOT recommend anything higher than 2%, though. Reap all the benefits of the plant along with being able to market your product at a higher price point, without overdoing the formula. Astaxanthin is for glowing skin!

What does astaxanthin help with?

Decreases fine lines and wrinkles
Boosts natural elasticity
Increases natural collagen production
Detoxes skin from environmental and product pollution
Increases hydration the skin by improving skin’s natural barrier
Creates smoother, more refined skin
Can help improve texture
Increases glow and decreases redness and unevenness

Can astaxanthin replace retinol?

No, just like with vitamin c, astaxanthin is a complimentary ingredient to use with retinal or alongside retinal based products. We carry Retinaldehyde, which is the most effective and most stable form of retinal. Utilize this along with astaxanthin and vitamin c in your formulas. All of them can be used at small percentages, but have high marketability so you can charge more for your product.

We also offer fabulous plant-based retinol alternatives. Bakuchi Oil, in both cold pressed and Co2 extractions, and Buriti oil are excellent retinol alternatives. Use these together in your facial oils and serums to increase the end result.

How do I add astaxanthin to my formula?

Astaxanthin should be added in the oil phase and when the product in cooling. It is very easy to just blend in and will not take any special additional ingredients.  Since you are adding such a small amount, it is often ideal to add it to another carrier oil, such as Organic Jojoba Oil or Organic Black Seed Oil, then blend that into your product.

How much astaxanthin should I use in my formulas?

Facial Serums- 0.01-0.2%
Facial Oils- 0.01-0.2%
Creams and Lotions- 0.01-2%
Eye Products- 0.1-1%
Balms- 0.1-2%
Hair and Scalp Treatments- 0.05-2%

What other skincare ingredients can I use with astaxanthin?

You can create a very effective product using just astaxanthin as your active if you’d like. If you’re looking to create a multi-purpose product consider pairing it with any of these:

Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil
Organic Black Seed Oil
Retinaldelyde
Tetrahexyl Decyl Glucoside (Vitamin C)
Olive Oil Squalane
Organic Camellia Seed Oil
Bakuchi Oil/Bakuchioil
Alpha Bisabolol Natural
Buriti Oil

FAQ
Is this product food grade?
Not all personal care ingredients are designed to be used internally. It is the buyer’s obligation to determine internal safety of each ingredient. All ingredients supplied by Shay & Company LLC are of food quality and we hereby certify that to the best of our knowledge the product above is produced under food safe conditions and handled in an FDA registered facility. We are not a food or supplement certified facility so ingredients will not come with nutritional, supplemental or food testing or certifications.
How do I get my C of A or SDS or IFRA?
Every product page has a tab called “C of A/SDS/IFRA” where you can locate all our documents for that product. The newest documents on the bottom of the list, so go to the bottom to look for the most current.
Your lot numbers are on the containers once you receive them. The format on the label is LOT: (this is the lot number)-FIVE DIGIT CODE-INITIALS. The five digit code and the initials are not part of the lot number so those will not be on the C of A. Just the first code preceding the five-digit code and initials. Those are internal codes for our reference.
If you do not see the specific lot number in the list, please email us and we will ensure it gets uploaded.
What if I’m looking for additional testing or documentation?
We provide the standard documents necessary for all skincare ingredients. If you are looking for additional product statements, please check out the tab called “PRODUCT STATEMENTS”. You may find many answers there.
Any additional testing not found on the C of A’s will need to be conducted by you. All tests done are listed on each C of A.
How long will my order take to get to me?

All orders are processed in the order they are received. Normal turn-around is within 24 hours, sometimes the same day. Once shipped, the time it takes to arrive to you depends on which shipping method you selected. At checkout, you will be shown a list of options for shipping and each one will have anestimated arrival date. These are estimates, not guarantees, but they will be close.

What is the return policy?

Due to the nature of selling raw materials meant to be used in skincare products, we are not able to accept returns or exchanges on any opened items. If we shipped you the incorrect item, we will gladly replace it or refund your account. If you accidentally order the incorrect item and you have not opened the container, you can return it to us within 15 days at your cost plus a 10% re-stocking fee, and we will refund or exchange it.
