Description

Natural Beta-Carotene oil is a red/orange compound sourced from Blakeslea Trispora. It is a red to dark red pigment found in plants and fruits, especially carrots and colorful vegetables. The name beta-carotene comes from the Greek “beta” and Latin “carota” (carrot). It is the yellow/orange pigment that gives vegetables and fruits their rich colors.

It is estimated that there are 500 different carotenoids, including beta carotene, alpha carotene, lutein, cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin, and beta carotene is responsible for the yellow and orange hues in these food.

It is not merely a color pigment though——it is a potent, important element for skin health with a wide range of anti-aging benefits, and thus should really be added into your skincare routine.

– Smoothes Wrinkles & Fine Lines, And Reduces Acne:
Beta-carotene is rich in vitamin A, a very potent anti-aging and anti-acne ingredient that is needed by both the upper and lower layers of the skin.

Without Vitamin A, the skin might get dry, itchy or bumpy, and conditions like keratosis pilaris and chronic acne may arise.

– Slow Aging:
Our skin naturally loses collagen as we age, but UV radiation, pollution, dust, pepsticides, alcohol, cigarette smoke, food, excessie exercises, and inflammation can greatly speed up the whole aging process. This is because they create free radicals and promote oxidative stress that break down collagen and elastin fibers, hinder skin’s natural repair process, and trigger inflammation resulting in fine lines and wrinkles and loss of elasticity. By scavenging free radicals antioxidants can help prevent and correct these signs of aging. Beta carotene has strong antioxidative properties against two reactive oxygen species: molecular singlet oxygen and superpxides radicals. In regard to molecular singlet oxygen, beta carotene is nearly 50 times more effective than vitamin E. In other words, Beta carotene can help slow down skin aging processes.

Beta carotene stimulates the melanogenesis process by saturating the nuclear receptors of melanocytes and/or binding proteins. Its also inhibit the synthesis of melanin through blocking the activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme responsible for the induction of melanin biosynthesis. In addition, Because it is a Vitamin A precursor, its helps brightens the skin by stimulating cell turnover, so that old cells with excess melanin can be shedded faster. This essentially means it can brighten the skin and reduce hyperpigmentation.
