Hydrating & Repairing Serum

Why Is Astaxanthin Essential in Natural Cosmetics?

Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant that is becoming increasingly important in natural cosmetics. Obtained from microalgae grown in spring water, it offers numerous benefits for the skin, making it an essential ingredient in modern skincare products.

Antioxidant Power

Astaxanthin is one of the strongest antioxidants, protecting the skin from harmful free radicals. These are caused by UV radiation, pollution and stress and can lead to premature skin ageing and damage. Astaxanthin neutralises these free radicals and protects the skin against oxidative stress.

Anti-inflammatory Properties

Astaxanthin has anti-inflammatory properties and can reduce skin irritation and redness. It helps soothe the skin and relieve inflammation, which is particularly beneficial for sensitive skin or skin conditions such as acne, dermatitis, psoriasis and rosacea.

Optimal Care Combined with Aloe Vera and Hyaluronic Acid

Astaxanthin develops its full effect when combined with other caring ingredients such as aloe vera and hyaluronic acid.

Aloe vera is known for its moisturising and soothing properties. It helps cool, hydrate and heal the skin, which is particularly beneficial for irritation and sunburn. Its anti-inflammatory properties complement those of astaxanthin, soothing irritated skin.

Hyaluronic acid is an excellent moisturiser that intensely hydrates the skin and gives it volume and elasticity. It can bind large amounts of water, helping to keep the skin firm and supple. Combined with astaxanthin, it not only moisturises the skin but also protects it from harmful environmental influences.

Conclusion

Astaxanthin is essential in natural cosmetics because it is a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. Combined with aloe vera and hyaluronic acid, it offers optimal care that counteracts irritation and hydrates, soothes and protects the skin. This synergistic effect makes astaxanthin a valuable ingredient in high-quality skincare products.

How to Use Your Serum

1. Cleanse: thoroughly cleanse your face. Use your preferred Dr. Heilbronner cleansing gel to remove dirt, oil and make-up.
2. Apply serum: place a small amount on your ring finger. This fingertip exerts the least pressure and is ideal for the delicate skin around the eyes. Gently dab the serum around the eye area, starting at the inner corners and moving outwards. Avoid rubbing or pulling.
3. Massage: gently massage into the skin with your fingertips until fully absorbed. This promotes circulation and improves absorption of the ingredients.
4. Moisturise: follow with Dr. Heilbronner day cream to seal in moisture and keep your skin hydrated throughout the day.

Note: for optimal results, use the serum twice daily, morning and evening. Regular use can help hydrate and firm the skin and promote a radiant complexion.
