Benefits for skin:
• Boosts collagen and HA synthesis.
• Increases elasticity (+25%) and hydration (+8%).
• Reduces wrinkles and roughness.
• Improves pigmentation and smoothness.

Scientific support:
• Marini et al., Skin Pharmacol Physiol (2012): 75 mg/day Pycnogenol® improved elasticity and hydration in postmenopausal women.

Ultimate Antioxidant • 6,000x stronger than Vitamin C

What it is:
A red carotenoid pigment from microalgae, one of nature’s strongest antioxidants (~6,000x stronger than Vitamin C).

Benefits for skin:
• Reduces fine wrinkles and boosts elasticity.
• Protects collagen and elastin from UV-induced breakdown.
• Promotes more radiant, even skin tone.
• Long-term protection against oxidative stress (UV, pollution).

Scientific support:
• Tominaga et al., Carotenoid Science (2009): 6 mg/day astaxanthin improved wrinkles and elasticity in women after 8 weeks.
• Tominaga et al., Nutr Res Pract (2012): 6 mg/day prevented seasonal wrinkle worsening and moisture loss in a 16-week RCT.

Deep Hydration • Holds 1,000x its weight in water

What it is:
A molecule naturally found in skin and joints, famous for binding up to 1,000x its weight in water.

Benefits for skin:
• Clinically proven to increase hydration and reduce TEWL.
• Leads to smoother, plumper, more elastic skin.
• Softens fine lines caused by dehydration.

Scientific support:
• Oe et al., Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol (2017): 120 mg/day oral HA improved wrinkles and skin luster after 12 weeks.

Even Tone Defense • Reduces redness and pigmentation

What it is:
A tropical fern extract, rich in polyphenols, used in dermatology for photoprotection.

Benefits for skin:
• Acts as an internal UV shield.
• Raises resistance to sunburn in 15 days.
• Supports more even tone and reduces redness/pigmentation.
• Protects collagen against UV/photoaging.

Scientific support:
• Middelkamp-Hup et al., J Am Acad Dermatol (2004): 240 mg PLE increased skin’s resistance to UV-induced erythema.
• Nestor et al., J Clin Aesthet Dermatol (2015): PLE reduced sunburn and improved photoprotection outcomes in humans.

Natural Glow • Enhances skin's golden undertone

What it is:
A carotenoid closely related to lutein, naturally present in skin and retina.

Benefits for skin:
• Protects against UV and blue light damage.
• Helps maintain tone clarity and evenness.
• Contributes to a healthy glow.
• Long-term antioxidant defense.

Scientific support:
• Palombo et al., Skin Pharmacol Physiol (2007): Lutein (10 mg) + Zeaxanthin (0.6 mg) improved hydration and elasticity in 12 weeks.
• Obana et al., Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci (2008): Dietary lutein + zeaxanthin increased carotenoid deposition in skin and protected against photooxidative stress.
