UV Inner Protect Product Features Functional Ingredient: Astaxanthin 3mg Included ◆Notification Number: J179 Functional Claim: This product contains astaxanthin, which has antioxidant properties. Astaxanthin has been reported to help protect the skin from UV stimulation and to protect skin from dryness and maintain skin moisture after UV exposure. Astaxanthin, with its antioxidant properties, protects the skin from the inside and supports skin moisture. Furthermore, it is concentrated into a single capsule along with placenta extract and other ingredients. This is a supplement that supports active days unaffected by UV rays, protecting the skin from UV damage.

Functional Ingredient: Astaxanthin - Estimated Mechanism of Action on Skin Astaxanthin has been evaluated in research review papers for its ability to reduce reactive oxygen species* generated by UV rays, which cause significant skin damage, thereby inhibiting skin damage, protecting the skin, and by suppressing the increase of collagen-degrading enzymes, it protects skin moisture.

~About the Functional Ingredient: Astaxanthin~ A type of carotenoid (natural pigment), like lycopene in tomatoes and beta-carotene in carrots. It is a red pigment found in salmon, shrimp, crabs, sea bream, etc. The reason salmon flesh is red is said to be due to the accumulation of astaxanthin in its body. The raw material for the supplement is manufactured from Haematococcus pluvialis. It is normally green, but when exposed to stress such as UV rays or dryness, it produces astaxanthin to protect itself and turns red. This property is utilized for cultivation and extraction, and it is used as a raw material. Astaxanthin has the function of preventing oxidation (rusting) that occurs in the body. Its power is said to be about 550 to 1000 times that of Vitamin E, and it supports skin moisture. In addition to caring for UV damage, its efficacy is attracting attention.
