Why NO L-Ascorbic acid?
One of the primary reasons for our decision is our commitment to sun safety. L-ascorbic acid, a pure form of vitamin C, can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight, increasing the risk of sunburn and potential sun damage if not used with adequate sun protection. This is especially crucial as studies have shown a link between sun exposure and increased risk of skin cancer.
In contrast, topical organic Astaxanthin offers several advantages that make it a preferred choice in skincare today. Astaxanthin is a potent antioxidant that not only provides protection against oxidative stress and UV-induced damage but also offers superior photoprotective benefits compared to some other antioxidants.
Here's why topical organic astaxanthin is considered far better clinically:
- UV Protection: Astaxanthin has been found to have a higher photoprotective capacity than other antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E. It helps neutralize free radicals caused by UV radiation, reducing the risk of sunburn and premature aging. Astaxanthin's ability to fight free radicals is 6000 times greater than vitamin C, 550 times than vitamin E and 40 times than beta-carotene.
- Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Astaxanthin possesses strong anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe and calm the skin after sun exposure. This reduces redness, inflammation, and the risk of long-term sun damage.
- Longer-Lasting Effects: Unlike some antioxidants that may degrade quickly upon exposure to light or air, astaxanthin is known for its stability. It can remain active on the skin for longer periods, providing continuous protection against environmental stressors.
- Collagen Support: Astaxanthin has been shown to support collagen production and skin elasticity, contributing to a more youthful and resilient complexion over time.
- Overall Skin Health: Regular use of topical Astaxanthin can improve skin texture, tone, and hydration levels, promoting overall skin health and vitality.
By incorporating topical organic Astaxanthin into our Savef Skin Essential Face Serum, we ensure that your skin receives advanced protection against UV damage, oxidative stress, and premature aging without compromising its safety or sensitivity to sunlight. With clinically proven benefits and a track record of efficacy, Astaxanthin stands out as a superior choice for modern skincare formulations.
