Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin is a keto carotenoid extracted from Haematococcus Pluvialis and is fat-soluble. It exists widely in the biological world, especially in the feathers of aquatic animals such as shrimps, crabs, fish, and birds, and plays a role in color rendering.They play two roles in plants and algae, absorbing light energy for photosynthesis and protecting chlorophyll from light damage. We obtain carotenoids through food intake which are stored in the skin, protecting our skin from photodamage.
Studies have found that astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant that is 1,000 times more effective than vitamin E in purifying free radicals produced in the body. Free radicals are a type of unstable oxygen consisting of unpaired electrons that survive by ingesting electrons from other atoms. Once a free radical reacts with a stable molecule, it is converted into a stable free radical molecule, which initiates a chain reaction of free radical combinations.Many scientists believe that the root cause of human aging is cellular damage due to an uncontrolled chain reaction of free radicals. Astaxanthin has a unique molecular structure and excellent antioxidant capacity.

Ceramide
Cosmate®CER,Ceramides are waxy lipid molecules (fatty acids), Ceramides are found in the outer layers of the skin and play a vital role ensuring there are the correct amount of lipids that are lost throughout the day after the skin is exposed to environmental aggressors.Cosmate®CER Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids in the human body. They are essential to the skin’s health as they form the skin’s barrier which protects it from damage, bacteria and water loss.

Squalene
Cosmate®SQE Squaleneis a colorless or yellow transparent oily liquid with a pleasant odor. It is mainly used in cosmetics, medicine, and other fields. Cosmate®SQE Squalene is easy to be emulsified in standard cosmetics formulas (such as cream, ointment, sunscreen), so it can be used as a humectant in creams (cold cream, skin cleanser, skin moisturizer), lotion, hair oils, hair creams, lipstick, aromatic oils, powders and other cosmetics. In addition, Cosmate®SQE Squalene can also be used as a high fat agent for advanced soap.

Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate
Cosmate®AcHA,Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate (AcHA), is a specialty HA derivative which is synthesized from the Natural Moisturizing Factor Sodium Hyaluronate (HA) by acetylation reaction. The hydroxyl group of HA is partially replaced with acetyl group. It owns both lipophilic and hydrophilic properties. This helps to promote high affinity and adsorption properties for the skin.
