In cosmetics, formulators use β-Carotene oil as a clean-label active that protects against oxidative stress and promotes a radiant glow. In nutrition, it acts as a pro-vitamin A source that supports vision, immunity, and overall wellness. Applications include functional foods, supplements, nutricosmetics, and skincare formulations.
