Use in practice

For best results, apply the serum on the cheekbones as a bronzer to enhance the natural contours and give the skin a tanned effect.

For a softer overall glow, the serum can be mixed with your favourite face cream or oil and applied all over the face. It can also be used as a base under make-up or on its own for a natural look.

Thanks to the content of jojoba oil and rosehip oil, the product is also suitable for sensitive skin, as it moisturizes and regenerates the skin and naturally blends with its natural oils.

This product is the perfect choice for women who care about the quality of ingredients and want products that stand out not only for their aesthetic value, but also for their skin benefits.

Ingredients

Simmondsia Chinensis(jojoba oil), Rosa Canina Fruit(rosehip oil), Tocopherol(vitamin E), Simmondsia Chinensis Wax(jojoba wax), Hippophae Rhamnoides(sea buckthorn oil), Cananga Odorata(ylang-ylang absolue)*, Boswellia Sacra(frankincense essential oil), Citrus Aurantium(neroli essential oil), Jasminum Grandiflorum(jasmine absolute)*, Rosa Damascena(rose absolute), Haematococcus Pluvialis(astaxanthin), Organic Mica Powder(organic mica).**

*The term absolue refers to a specific type of extract from the plant that is highly concentrated and is often used in perfumery and cosmetics for its intense scent and properties.

The production of absolutes involves a more complex process than conventional essential oil distillation - often beginning with solvent extraction and subsequent purification to produce a pure, highly concentrated extract.

Absolutes are used where steam distillation is not sufficient, for example with flowers that would be damaged by steam distillation or would not produce a strong enough oil.

The resulting product has a more intense scent and is richer in aromatic components than regular essential oil, making it a luxury ingredient, especially in natural cosmetics.

**In fact , there is no certified "organic" mica in the true sense of the word, because mica is a mineral and minerals cannot be certified as "organic" or "organic" in the conventional sense.

The term "organic mica" is sometimes used in marketing to emphasize that the mica has been ethically sourced and processed without synthetic ingredients, but is not certified as a true organic product.

Inorganic mica can pose health risks due to possible contamination with heavy metals such as lead or mercury, which can accumulate in the body.

Moreover, it is often associated with unethical mining, including child labour, especially in areas such as India and Madagascar. Inorganic mica may also have a higher risk of synthetic additives that can irritate sensitive skin.

This is why organic mica is the preferred choice, as it ensures purity, safety for the skin and an ethical approach to sourcing the raw material.

Astaxanthin in cosmetics and nutrition

Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant that is often used in dietary supplements and cosmetic products. However, currently the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has not approved any health claims related to astaxanthin.

This means that manufacturers in the European Union cannot make health claims related to astaxanthin on their products. Still, astaxanthin is considered safe for use in dietary supplements as long as the recommended dosage is followed.

In 2020, EFSA assessed the safety of astaxanthin for use in dietary supplements and concluded that a daily dose of up to 8 mg is safe for adults.

We offer two types of dietary supplements containing high quality astaxanthin. Astaxanthin from Naturtreu and Nibu Naturals differs mainly in form and dosage.

Naturtreu offers astaxanthin from Hawaii in the form of liquid drops with a dosage of 12 mg per 15 drops, allowing for flexible dosing and faster absorption.

Nibu Naturals , on the other hand, provides Icelandic astaxanthin in capsules with a precise dose of 8 mg per capsule, which is practical for easy and convenient use.

---

*Both products are vegan and derived from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis.

Naturtreu uses MCT oil for better absorption, while Nibu Naturals relies on a simple formula in capsule form. The choice between them depends on the user's preference for liquid or capsule form.

Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae are grown in both Hawaii and Iceland, and the quality and efficacy of the resulting antioxidant may be affected by conditions in each of these regions.

Hawaii provides ideal conditions with a high number of sunny days and consistent temperatures, allowing for continuous production of astaxanthin.

Iceland uses a clean environment and modern technology in controlled internal systems to ensure high quality despite the different climatic conditions.

Both regions adhere to strict standards of purity and safety so that the resulting astaxanthin is of high quality. When choosing, it is advisable to focus on reputable manufacturers and quality certifications rather than just geographic origin.

What can we write about him?

Astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant from the carotenoid family, is known for its protective properties and brings potential benefits for use in skin care and as a dietary supplement.

Skin care:

• Protection of the skin from harmful environmental influences: Astaxanthin neutralizes free radicals and helps protect skin cells from oxidative stress that can contribute to skin aging.

• Promote hydration and elasticity: thanks to its properties, it can help maintain skin elasticity and hydration, contributing to smoother and firmer looking skin.

Complementary food:

• Natural support for the body: Astaxanthin is popular for its antioxidant properties, which can promote an overall feeling of vitality.

• Care for the eyes and cardiovascular system: Astaxanthin is also commonly sought after to support a healthy lifestyle, especially in areas such as the eyes and heart where antioxidant balance plays an important role.

Due to its power as an antioxidant, astaxanthin is increasingly sought after for its benefits in various aspects of skin care and overall health.
