Beta-carotene

What is Beta-carotene

Beta-Carotene is a plant pigment that gives red, orange, and yellow vegetables their vibrant color (most famously carrots); however, we source ours from Blakeslea Trispora, a healthy type of fungus. If you have a 10-step skincare routine, you may be more familiar with it than you know. When ingested, this carotenoid converts to vitamin A, a powerful retinoid and antioxidant with a unique ability to ward off the harmful effects of free radicals. Additionally, Beta-Carotene has been shown to support healthy cardiovascular and immune systems, better cognitive function and promote skin and eye health.
