Astaxanthin

Known as "The King of Carotenoids," this deep red powerhouse from microalgae is what gives salmon their strength to swim upstream for thousands of miles. Cultivated in extreme desert conditions, it develops incredible antioxidant properties. Over 500 times stronger than vitamin E, it's one of nature's most powerful antioxidants with proven ability to protect cells from oxidative stress.

FAQs

Why take it

Everyone knows that too much stress or sun isn't good for your skin. We're here to explain why. Environmental stressors like excessive sun and stress create free radicals that damage skin cells, leading to dull and uneven skin. Our Protection Drops include vitamins C and E to fight this¹, plus we use one of nature's most powerful plant-based antioxidants, Astaxanthin.

Our protective powerhouse

Astaxanthin works directly within melanocytes, the cells responsible for pigmentation² deep in the epidermis. They help moderate how these cells respond to environmental signals, and protect cells from oxidative stress¹. 

Vitamins C and E join astaxanthin as our powerful, protective trio. Together, they contribute to cellular protection, helping to reduce oxidative stress¹ in the epidermis, for skin that looks fresher and brighter.

This multi-level cellular approach gives you a more even, healthy-looking skin tone and texture.

¹ Vitamins C and E contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin

² Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal skin

³ Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system

How to use

Simply dispense drops directly into your mouth, or add to water or your favourite drink. Take twice daily, morning and evening, as part of your skincare routine. Your pipette has markings for 0.5ml and 1ml to make dosing easy. Each bottle is a month's supply.

Ages 13: Take 1ml daily — half a pipette (0.5ml) in the morning and half a pipette (0.5ml) in the evening. Ages 14+: Take 2ml daily — one full pipette (1ml) in the morning and one full pipette (1ml) in the evening.

By taking your drops twice a day, you'll get 100% of your daily requirement of Vitamins E.

How it's different

Melanocytes, the cells that produce skin pigmentation, live in the deepest layer of your epidermis. Standard hyperpigmentation treatments like azelaic acid must penetrate through multiple skin layers to reach them, however your skin barrier blocks most ingredients. 

Our Protection Drops deliver nutrients through the bloodstream rather than through the skin, which means powerful antioxidants reach melanocytes directly from within at full clinical strength, giving you maximum benefit.

Unlike many actives in serums and creams that commonly cause tingling, redness, and dryness, they don't cause any skin irritation. That’s because they work from within, absorbed directly into the bloodstream, and therefore have no surface contact with your skin.

Protection Drops support your skin from within, but they don't replace your SPF. Always wear sunscreen too.

How it supports your skincare routine

Skin health works best with a dual approach. Topical treatments like azelaic acid target the skin's surface layer and treat superficial pigmentation problems temporarily – but you have to keep applying to see results. 

Our Protection Drops address pigmentation² at the cellular level, delivering antioxidants¹ and copper directly to melanocytes and other skin cells through your bloodstream. 

Take our drinkable Protection Drops as your base for longer lasting protection against environmental stress¹ , balanced skin tone and pigmentation² . Top up with targeted acids and serums on hyperpigmented areas for comprehensive coverage.

Beyond your skin

Our powerful antioxidant trio does more than just protect your skin cells – it also supports how you feel day-to-day.

Astaxanthin helps to combat digital eye fatigue and reduces exercise-induced muscle fatigue, supporting faster recovery from workouts.

Vitamins C contributes to your immune defenses³, helping you stay well during busy periods and seasonal illnesses.

Clinical results

Skin anti-aging and cellular protection 
AstaPure® astaxanthin has been shown to protect against telomere shortening in skin cells. Telomeres are protective caps at the ends of your DNA that keep cells healthy and functioning properly. Environmental stress and pollution can damage these caps, affecting how your skin cells work. 

Astaxanthin has been shown to improve metrics in skin hydration and elasticity, working at the cellular level to support skin health from within*,**.
