This PARTICULAR lip balm get its rich ruby colour from astaxanthin. Trust me I only started working with this compound only last year. It is rather costly, takes a while to work BUT it is a sure bet when it comes to retarding the aging process and reclaiming some of the lustre, sun damaged skin once thought to have been a permanent loss.
I Kwame Adams do not believe in the 'inevitable' view that ageing is for everyone. Nope. Think, if your body gets a complete cell overhaul every approx. 11 months, why not be brand new in 330 days? Seriously.
Anyhow, Astaxanthin is a red pigment molecule a member of the carotenoid family found in certain marine algae. When eaten by shrimp and crustaceans, the pigment lends its reddish hue to their shells. When astaxanthin makes its way up the food chain, the colour deepens, even more concentrated, creating the amazing reds and pinks we see in fish such as salmon and in marine birds like flamingos.
Researchers have sought to explore the use of astaxanthin as a topical sunscreen because of its powerful ultraviolet light-absorbing properties.5 They soon found, however, that astaxanthin has many additional benefits, including free radical scavenging, mitochondrial protection, anti-inflammatory effects, and protection from glycation.11-18
In the words of one researcher, astaxanthin shows “demonstrable promise for slowing age-related functional decline. Music to my ears...
Just to make sure I grab as much free radicals as possible I loaded this with what I called the trifecta of skin care: Vitamin e, jojba oil and shea butter.
It is good to get carried away now and again, HOWEVER a small test run was made (15) and they sold out after posting pics on my whatsapp after 3 hours. Im sorry :(
I am looking for ways to bring the price down however. At $22.00 EC FOR ONE, I did not make a profit but my little customers were ecstatic but moaned about the price. I promise to find a way to make this available to everyone.
I strongly believe good nutritional skin care should be available to all.
They have the choice to take, or leave it.
