Astaxanthin is a gift from the sea—mainly produced by strain of algae native to New Zealand – and is a powerful antioxidant that provides several bodily benefits. It’s a naturally-occurring carotenoid, orange-red in hue, found in nature. It can be sourced off algae and marine life like crab, lobster, salmon, and shrimp.

Astaxanthin has a lot of health benefits for the body, but primarily, it is used in skin care supplements and skin care products to make skin look healthier and more radiant.

Firstly, astaxanthin can reduce UV damage from the sun’s rays. It is for this reason why astaxanthin is also an ingredient in several sun-tan lotions. And when ingested, astaxanthin reduces the loss of skin moisture as well as natural skin reddening or hyper-pigmentation caused by exposure to the sun’s rays.

Another astaxanthin benefit is more youthful skin. Astaxanthin, as an ingredient in skin supplements, can restore the skin’s lost elasticity. There is enough improvement to reduce wrinkles and fine lines in middle-aged men and women, as well as improved moisture content restoration.

Protecting the skin from UV rays and restoring youthful elasticity to it aren’t the only benefits of astaxanthin on the skin. It can also help age spots become smaller or even completely disappear. A study was done on these effects on both men and women. Further study is needed to fully confirm its effects, but the early results appear convincing.

Due to its antioxidant aiding property, astaxanthin has been credited as an outstanding partner against free radicals. By improving blood flow and reducing oxidative stress, astaxanthin is instrumental in making a person look and feel younger—they don’t only show a ‘glow’ on the outside, they also feel that youthful ‘glow’ inside as well.

Have you ever wondered how people have a rosy glow? This glow is caused by improved blood flow, another benefit from astaxanthin. Astaxanthin’s increased blood flow benefits don’t only provide cardiac support—it can also give their skin that youthful, pinkish glow it may have been missing.
