Factory supply water Soluble Astaxanthin Nanoemulsion for cosmetics
Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant derived from Haematococcus Pluvialis. It has many health benefits such as anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-tumor and cardiovascular protection. In addition, astaxanthin also has a cosmetic effect, which can improve the elasticity and luster of the skin and reduce the generation of wrinkles and color spots. Astaxanthin has been widely used in health care products, cosmetics, food and medicine.
However, usual astaxanthin is in the form of oil and water-insoluble which limits its applications in cosmetics. Through nanotechnology, we load astaxanthin into nano-micelles making it easy to dissolve in water. Besides, the nanotechnology can increase the stability of astaxanthin, enhance transdermal absorption, release gently and improve the skin compatibility.
Functions of Astaxanthin as Cosmetic Ingredients
1. It has strong antioxidant ability, can remove nitrogen dioxide, sulfide, disulfide, etc., can also reduce lipid peroxidation, and effectively inhibit lipid peroxidation caused by free radicals
2. Resist UVA damage to DNA: Protect skin fibroblasts, reduce UVA damage, maintain anti-wrinkle firming effect (boost synthesis of collagen and elastin)
3. Inhibit melanin synthesis
4. Inhibit inflammatory cytokines and mediators
Free astaxanthin is less stable and tends to fade. Astaxanthin was dissolved in water at 37 ℃, under light and room temperature. Under the same conditions, astaxanthin nanoemulsion showed better stability, and the color remained basically unchanged after 3 weeks.
