Cleansing and caring for your skin without synthetic or toxic chemicals is just as important as eating non-toxic foods. Finding products that are both non-toxic and have good effects on the skin can take some time.
That's why we want to present a skin care brand we think both promises and delivers - Nibu Naturals .
The series was founded by a woman who, in the fight against an autoimmune disease, searched for natural products that could generally slow down aging processes and at the same time support healing and healthier skin.
Astaxanthin is included in all Nibu Naturals products. Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful antioxidants. It is a carotenoid that occurs naturally in microalgae and gives shrimp, salmon, crayfish - and pelicans** - their pink color.
Difference between natural or artificial astaxanthin
Synthetic astaxanthin has a different structure compared to the naturally occurring carotenoid, but both variants are approved as food additives.
As history often shows, an artificial substance that is similar but not completely identical to its natural precursor can produce a difference in effect.
Nibu Naturals uses Icelandic astaxanthin in its products. It is extracted from microalgae that live in the clean waters around Iceland. Its unique structure allows astaxanthin to penetrate from the skin's surface to deeper skin layers. Here it can influence cell renewal and collagen formation, soothe sensitive skin and retain moisture.
This is the secret of how natural astaxanthin works for natural skin care that promotes a youthful glow from the inside out.
Astaxanthin can provide valuable support for the skin:
- protect against wrinkle formation from UV light by quenching free radicals
- repair DNA damage
- slow down aging in skin cells by making telomeres* shrink more slowly
- can reduce hyperpigmentation and dark spots
- reduce inflammation, irritation and redness
- supply and preserve moisture.
Astaxanthin also gives a light shimmer to the skin from both the inside and outside.
Astaxanthin also supports the whole body. Among other things, it helps the immune system fight infections.
Providing the body with an ongoing supply of natural astaxanthin supports the antioxidant protective processes in the skin.

*Telomeres are a part of the cell nucleus that protects the genetic mass and the cell's lifespan. They can shrink or grow over time, among other things depending on oxidative influence. Antioxidant protection can counteract the shrinkage.
**Curiosity: the pelican gets its pink color because it eats shellfish which in turn feed on the microalgae Haermatococcus Pluvialis – which contains the valuable astaxanthin.
