What do prawns and flamingoes have to do with skin care? Astaxanthin is derived from a micro- algae that when stressed produces this bright orange compound to protect itself. This gives both prawns, salmon and flamingoes their beautiful deep orange colour! Astaxanthin is an incredibly powerful skincare ingredient. With both photoprotective and antioxidant properties (6000 x stronger than Vit C), Astaxanthin reduces wrinkles, protects from UV rays, deeply nourishes and protects the skin barrier. Where retinols work on the skin surface, using cellular turnover and exfoliation, Astaxanthin works deeper in the epidermal layers of skin, improving elasticity, skin tone and hydration.
Our SOLA SUN FACE moisturizer contains both Astaxanthin and plant-based Retinols like Buriti oil. These unique ingredients safely and gently protect, nourish and moisturize skin throughout the seasons. This product has multiple benefits and yet is gentle enough for all skin care types. 🧡⚡️
