  • Super Star facial's secret lies in the super antioxidant - Astaxanthin.

    Astaxanthin is derived from red algae. It is what gives the algae its red colour. The algae produces bright red astaxanthin as a protective mechanism to protect themselves from the free radical and UV damage from intense sunlight, keeping them safe, fresh and youthful.

    Astaxanthin is found to have amazing anti-oxidant properties: it is nicknamed Vitamin X or Super vitamin as it was found to be 6000 times stronger than Vitamin C, 550 times stronger than Vitamin E, and 800 times stronger than CoQ10 - in providing antioxidant protection and anti-aging support.

    Interestingly, Astaxanthin is also what gives salmon its bright pink colour, and flamingos the red colour of their feathers!
