ASTAFUSION® FOR GLOWING SKIN
Haematococcus Pluvialis is a species of microalgae known for its high content of Astaxanthin, a red-orange carotenoid pigment that is considered one of nature's most powerful antioxidants. Using open system bioreactors that harmonize with nature, this Hawaiian microalgae is sustainably cultivated on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi, harnessing the sun's powerful energy and the cooling temperature of deep sea water to create optimal growth conditions. The result is a potent, pristine harvest extracted using clean supercritical carbon dioxide technology free of chemicals and organic solvents.
Due to its chemical structure, our oil-based algal Astaxanthin extract is a more effective and biocompatible source of protective antioxidants, unlike synthetic, petrochemical-derived Astaxanthin. This ingredient is at the heart of our proprietary AstaFusion®, which also features botanical oils and protective carotenoids including B-Carotene, Canthaxanthin, Lutein and Zeaxanthin.
Nature cultivates the power. Science unlocks the potential. Your skin reaps the radiance.

*Based on inhibition of SA-ß-gal, a cellular aging marker, in cell-based studies.
MAKALAU SC™ FOR REJUVENATED SKIN
The Chinese Mahogany tree, scientifically known as Toona sinensis, has been used for centuries in Asian cuisine and traditional medicine. Its young leaves and tender shoots are prized for their unique flavor, while its bark extract is said to possess digestive, anti-inflammatory and detoxifying health benefits.
Makalau SC™ is a patent-pending plant stem cell extract that harnesses the regenerative powers of the Chinese Mahogany tree, delivering strong anti-aging, collagen-boosting and barrier-strengthening results. Cultivated under highly controlled laboratory conditions to ensure the highest quality, our exclusive extract is rich in plant polyphenols known for their role in supporting skin's natural vitality and smoothness.
