Eleven Obi has introduced astaxanthin in its formulation as one of the most powerful antioxidants in nature. This red pigment, present in microalgae such as Haematococcus pluvialis, is known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and protective properties against sun damage.
Astaxanthin is a natural carotenoid that is not produced in the human body, so we must obtain it from external sources. It is found in marine organisms such as salmon, algae and krill, and is known for:
- Having a very high antioxidant capacity.
- Being highly stable and effective, even on sensitive skin.
Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant that prevents premature aging, neutralizes free radicals responsible for cell damage and aging. Scientific studies have shown that it is:
- 6,000 times more potent than vitamin C
- 550 times more potent than vitamin E
- 10 times more potent than beta-carotene
This antioxidant capacity protects the skin from external aggressions and delays the appearance of wrinkles, expression lines and loss of firmness.
Protection against sun damage
UV rays are one of the main causes of premature aging. Astaxanthin acts as a natural internal filter, helping to:
- Prevent sun damage and loss of hydration.
- Reduce sensitivity to the sun.
- Protect against damage to cellular DNA that can lead to skin diseases.
Several studies have confirmed that astaxanthin protects the skin from dehydration and damage induced by UV rays.

This, and ten more antioxidants can be found in the new Eleven Obi cosmetic: The Eleven Radiance Cocktail.
