Why It Works
Benefits
ASTALIFT White Shield delivers comprehensive skin protection through astaxanthin's dual-function antioxidant action, officially recognized as a Functional Food.
Helps Protect Skin from UV Damage
Astaxanthin's powerful antioxidant properties help protect your skin from UV-induced stress. Clinical studies showed that participants taking astaxanthin had improved MED (Minimum Erythema Dose)—meaning their skin was less likely to redden from UV exposure compared to placebo groups after 8 weeks.
Functional Food Claim (G666)Maintains Skin Moisture & Hydration
Studies demonstrate that astaxanthin supports skin moisture retention. Research showed a 13.7% improvement in skin moisture levels compared to placebo after 8 weeks of daily consumption. This helps combat the dryness spiral where UV damage leads to moisture loss.
Clinical ResearchSupports Skin Elasticity & Firmness
Beyond moisture, astaxanthin helps maintain skin elasticity. Clinical research showed 16.1% improvement in skin elasticity (R7 measurement) compared to placebo. This supports skin firmness and helps maintain a healthy, youthful appearance.
Clinical ResearchComprehensive Beauty Nutrition
ASTALIFT White Shield combines astaxanthin with 7 additional beauty-supporting ingredients: Collagen, Niacin, Vitamin C, Lycopene, Vitamin E, Red Wine Polyphenols, and Beta-carotene. This comprehensive formula supports overall skin health from multiple angles.

How It Works
Understanding astaxanthin's dual-function mechanism for UV protection and skin health.
The Dryness Spiral Problem
Damaged, dry skin loses moisture more easily, leading to repeated cycles of dryness and damage. This is why UV protection and moisture care must work together.
Astaxanthin's Dual-Function Protection
- Function 1 - UV Damage Care: Helps protect skin from UV-induced stress
- Function 2 - Moisture & Elasticity: Maintains skin hydration and firmness
Superior Antioxidant Power
- 6,067x greater than Vitamin C
- 794x greater than CoQ10
- 562x greater than green tea catechins
- 75x greater than alpha-lipoic acid
