{"product_id":"astaxanthin-oil-10-co2-extracted","title":"Astaxanthin Oil 10% (CO2 Extracted)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAstaxanthin oleoresin 10% is one of the most potent natural antioxidants available to formulators — and one of the most versatile. Derived from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae via supercritical CO₂ extraction, this deep red oil delivers a standardised 10% astaxanthin concentration that punches well above its weight in both cosmetic and nutraceutical applications. In skincare, astaxanthin is prized for its exceptional free radical scavenging ability — research consistently shows it outperforms Vitamin C, Vitamin E and beta-carotene as an antioxidant, making it a compelling active in anti-aging serums, face oils, eye creams and UV-protective formulations. It supports collagen integrity, reduces the visible effects of photoaging, and imparts a natural warmth to formulas that signals potency to the consumer. In nutraceutical and supplement formulations, 10% astaxanthin oleoresin is the preferred format for softgel encapsulation, functional oil blends and sports nutrition products targeting exercise recovery, inflammation, eye health and cardiovascular support — areas where astaxanthin has a growing and credible clinical literature behind it. Use levels in cosmetics typically range from 0.01–0.5%, while supplement formulations commonly target 4–12mg elemental astaxanthin per daily dose. Our oleoresin is CO₂-extracted, supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis, and available in formulator-friendly quantities.
