Astaxanthin
A potent antioxidant found in microalgae, Astaxanthin is 6,000x stronger than Vitamin C. It protects against UV damage, boosts skin elasticity, and helps reduce fine lines — giving skin a visibly firmer, more radiant glow.
The Skin-Transforming Power of Astaxanthin
A Natural Wonder from the Sea
Astaxanthin is often called the “king of carotenoids”—a deep red pigment found naturally in microalgae, salmon, krill, and even flamingos (their pink color comes from eating it).
But beyond its striking hue, astaxanthin is making waves in skincare for one reason: its ability to protect, repair, and visibly rejuvenate skin.
Unlike many beauty trends, this ingredient isn’t just hype. It’s backed by decades of research, clinical trials, and measurable results.
6,000× Stronger Than Vitamin C
In antioxidant strength, astaxanthin is in a league of its own—up to 6,000 times more powerful than Vitamin C.
Why does this matter for skin? Free radicals (unstable molecules from UV rays, pollution, and stress) break down collagen, accelerate wrinkles, and dull your complexion.
Astaxanthin neutralizes these free radicals with unmatched efficiency, helping to:
- Protect collagen and elastin
- Prevent premature aging
- Maintain a smooth, firm skin structure
Proven Skin Benefits
1. Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Clinical studies have shown that daily use of astaxanthin improves skin elasticity and reduces visible wrinkles in as little as 8 weeks.
2. Boosts Radiance
By supporting healthy circulation and preventing oxidative damage, skin regains a natural, energized glow.
3. Defends Against Environmental Damage
Astaxanthin helps shield skin from UV-induced harm, reducing sun-related aging while supporting the skin’s natural repair process.
4. Calms & Soothes
Its potent anti-inflammatory properties help minimize redness and irritation, making it suitable even for sensitive skin.
Astaxanthin + Vitamin B12 + Beetroot: The Vital Glow Mask Difference
We chose astaxanthin as the star of our Mythos Women Vital Glow Mask because of its unparalleled ability to rejuvenate skin.
But to maximize its effects, we paired it with two powerful allies:
- Vitamin B12 — Known for its calming properties, it supports skin barrier repair and reduces irritation, helping sensitive skin feel balanced and comfortable.
- Beetroot Extract — Rich in antioxidants and nitrates, it promotes microcirculation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the skin for a healthy, vibrant appearance.
Together, these three ingredients create a mask that brightens, smooths, and revitalizes—transforming your skin in just minutes.
