Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant derived from microalgae, prized in the skincare industry for its anti-aging and skin-protective benefits. Offered in various forms, astaxanthin can significantly differ in its application and efficacy depending on whether it's formulated as an oil or a microemulsion. BioAktive provides two distinct astaxanthin-based products tailored for different skincare needs: BioAxta 5% Astaxanthin Oil and BioAxta ME Microemulsion.
BioAxta 5% Astaxanthin Oil
The BioAxta 5% Astaxanthin Oil is a robust formulation where astaxanthin is infused in a safflower oil base, ideal for products aimed at moisturizing and nourishing the skin. This formulation capitalizes on the antioxidant properties of astaxanthin combined with the moisturizing benefits of safflower oil, which is high in linoleic acid.
Advantages of BioAxta 5% Astaxanthin Oil:
Ease of Formulation: Compatible with other oil-based skincare components, making it straightforward to incorporate into serums and creams.
Enhanced Skin Penetration: The oily medium can improve the delivery of astaxanthin into the skin, potentially increasing its effectiveness.
Ideal for Dry Skin: Perfect for formulations intended to hydrate and replenish dry or mature skin.
This oil-based solution is especially suited for formulations where a richer texture and deep moisturizing are desired.
BioAxta ME Microemulsion
BioAxta ME Microemulsion represents a cutting-edge approach, utilizing a clear, stable microemulsion system to deliver astaxanthin effectively. This formulation is designed to improve the solubility and stability of astaxanthin in water-based products, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of skincare applications.
Advantages of BioAxta ME Microemulsion:
Superior Bioavailability: The microemulsion format enhances the absorption and penetration of astaxanthin, ensuring more effective delivery to the skin.
Flexibility in Product Development: Ideal for creating non-oily, lightweight products such as lotions and gels.
Increased Stability: Offers improved stability in aqueous solutions, extending the product's shelf life and efficacy.
This microemulsion is excellent for formulators looking to create light, fast-absorbing products suitable for all skin types, including oily and combination skin.
Choosing the Right Astaxanthin Formulation
Selecting between BioAxta 5% Astaxanthin Oil and BioAxta ME Microemulsion depends on the specific needs of the skincare formulation. Consider the desired product texture, the target skin type, and the overall goals of the skincare product. The oil is preferable for nourishing treatments aimed at dry or aging skin, while the microemulsion is better suited for lighter, hydration-focused products.
